Synopsis
Empress Wu Zetian, a daughter of a wood merchant named Wu Shihuo, was the first woman in ancient China who became an empire.
She was selected for the Imperial Palace at age of fourteen, when Li Shimin was emperor. Li Shimin fell in love with Zetian’s as she was beautiful and smart. However, Li Shimin soon became interested in another pretty girl named Xu Hu, who was Zetian’s best friend.
Li Shimin had once suspected that Wu Zetian might be the predicted empress, so he decided to kill her to extinguish any potential danger. However, he gave up and told her, together with some of his other wives to be nuns in Ganye Temple.
After all, it was difficult to believe that a woman could become a ruler.
