TIL that Wu Zetian, the only female emperor in Chinese history, served as a concubine to Emperor Taizong before later becoming the Empress of his son, Emperor Gaozong.

Is this a safe space for me to admit that this is one of my biggest fantasies (being with both a dad and his son)?

After reading the article, i had long lost count of how many people she had killed, poisoned, accused of witchcraft, accused of conspiracy, exiled, forced to commit suicide and so on - and that was BEFORE she became officially empress, which led to her cranking it up to 11 with a secret police that did not fuck around and installation of postboxes where people could denounce each other. Other rulers for sure learnt a thing or two from her.

Is that the woman Road to Empress is based on? It’s a pretty funny Chinese drama.

Careful. This Historical information is about to be band in the UK.

Chinese motherfucker!
