Wu Ze Tian

Chinese history stretches back more than 3,5oo years & during that time only one woman has ruled supreme. Wu Ze Tian reigned during the Tang Dynasty & taking the Imperial throne made her ruthless, uncontrollable & deadly.

Winner of a childhood beauty pageant, she became a palace concubine as a young teenager & then tore thru the royal heights via intelligence & political ambition, revenge, murder & black magic.

The kingdom she ruled was the world's largest - 4 to 5 times the size of the rival Byzantine Empire - and decades in power turned her into a master of many forces, including administration & war, betrayal & rebellion, intrigue & lust.

Old age alone stopped her & her final attempts to save her dark soul changed the nation & culture forever. Today, Xi'an's Wild Goose Pagoda & Luoyang's Longmen Grottoes still stand as testimony to the greatness of her rule in the 7oos a.d.
