Features: Liu E was a female leader comparable to Empress Lü and Empress Wu. She was another woman who wore the dragon robe after Wu Zetian, known as a generation of virtuous monarchs described as "possessing 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 China's second female emperor, but she gave it up. This book is substantial in content, with a plot full of twists and turns. Compared to the novels of Liu Erhe, apart from possessing a rough, grand, and majestic historical sense, it also focuses on the delicate portrayal and analysis of emotions. From a lonely girl who sang on the streets to the mother of a nation, to presiding behind a curtain, and finally to wearing the dragon robe. The life of Empress Zhangxian Mingsu of Emperor Zhenzong of Song, Liu E, was full of twists and turns. The ancient legend of "the tiger cat swapping the prince" further shrouded her life in an indescribable mystery... This book spans 600,000 words, covering Liu E's life from the age of 13 to her death at 65, a total 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 balance of tension and relaxation, and a well-structured narrative.
