She was another woman who wore the dragon robe after Wu Zetian, known as a virtuous monarch with the talent of Lü and Wu but without their vices. Liu E established the system of the empress dowager presiding behind a curtain. She could have become the second female emperor in Chinese history, but she gave it up. This book is substantial in content, with a plot full of twists and turns. Compared to the novels of Erhu River, it not only possesses a rough, grand, and majestic historical sense but also focuses on the delicate portrayal and analysis of emotions. From a lonely girl who sang for a living to the mother of a nation, to presiding behind a curtain, and finally to wearing the dragon robe. Empress Zhangxian Mingsu of Song Dynasty, Liu E's life was full of twists and turns. The legendary "cat swapping the prince" only added an indescribable mystery to her life... This book spans 600,000 words, covering Liu E's life from the age of 13 to her death at 65, a period of over 50 years. The author narrates the political background, military structure, economic conditions, and customs of the dynasty a thousand years ago in a smooth and orderly manner, with a well-balanced rhythm and a coherent structure.
