The Empress's Fate

Setting out on a new journey with a new book: Thousand Years, the story of a remarkable woman from The Empress’s Destiny, set in the Northern Wei era.

She intends to make these ten years glorious.

Four years of hardship as a concubine forced to work on the imperial mausoleums must not go to waste.

She intends to make these ten years patient and enduring.

Finding her son a stepfather is the most important matter in the realm.

She intends to make these ten years a game of power.

In troubled times, harsh measures are needed. Just be patient. Once we’ve dealt with this lot, we’ll get ready tomorrow and hold another selection to bring in a new batch.

All the glory, patience, and political maneuvering of these ten years are for the sake of hearing him say, when he passes away ten years from now:

“Empress, I’m leaving you the Crown Prince, three thousand beauties, and the keys to my private treasury.”

All the goings-on in the inner palace of Northern Wei are here in Thousand Years, Long Live the Empress. The formidable coming-of-age story of the celebrated historical figure Empress Wenming.
