She murdered her way from concubine to emperor, ruled China for half a century, and then history tried to erase her completely. This is the story of Wu Zetian—the only woman in 4,000 years of Chinese history to officially claim the title of Emperor, but who had actually been controlling the empire in secret for decades before anyone dared acknowledge it. Her rise involved political genius, ruthless elimination of rivals, sophisticated propaganda, and the creation of an intelligence network that made previous spy systems look primitive.
