The 30 episodes of the complete works of Wu Zetian in Liu Xiaoqing are diverse in plot.

The Liu Xiaoqing version of Wu Zetian's story is not much different from other versions of Wu Zetian. Let's introduce the general story:

The story happened in the autumn night of the fifteenth year of Zhenguan. At that time, Wu Zetian was still Wu Meiniang. After being favored by Emperor Taizong for the first time, what she got was not wealth, but cruelty in the court. Shortly after the death of Emperor Taizong, the homeless Wu Meiniang was sent to Kanye Temple and suffered humiliation. Because he was found pregnant, he escaped this robbery and returned to the palace to serve the emperor.

In his later years in the palace, Wu Meiniang seemed to be a different person, willing to kill his newborn daughter with his own hands, just to frame the queen and fight wits with the prime minister, and finally took the position of queen. Finally, with her superb political skills, she gradually took power. After the death of Emperor Gaozong, Wu Meiniang finally became Wu Zetian, and a generation of queens was born.

Finally, the elderly Wu Zetian abdicated and handed over power to her son, so Wu Zetian's life ended.
