The Amorous Empress Wu Zetian: Three Moves to Win Over Emperor Gaozong of Tang Dynasty

Empress Wu Zetian is a legend in Chinese history. She rose to prominence and ruled over all in a country that had taught women to be submissive for centuries. In her era, boundaries could be broken, destinies could be altered, and the grandeur of Tang Dynasty would be celebrated through the ages; after her reign, both official and unofficial histories left behind various mysterious records, adding much mystique to this legendary woman. Was she a hero made by the times, or was she shaped by her own character and fate? Where did her lifelong drive come from? Meng Man, a Ph.D. from Peking University hailed as "the younger version of Yu Dan" for her lectures on the百家讲坛(Baijia Lecture Forum), reinterprets Empress Wu with her unique and perceptive female perspective, offering insightful commentary worthy of praise.
