During the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, the Wu family gave birth to a daughter. The fortune teller was amazed: With the appearance of Fuxi, she should be the ruler of the world. Sixteen years later, Wu Meiniang (played by Jia Jingwen) grew up. At this time, she was lively and kind, with a pure heart and no scheming. By chance, she was saved by the handsome young man Li Junxian (played by Zhao Wenzhuo), and the two met for the first time. Because of the arrangement of fate, she was selected into the palace and became a new harem of Emperor Taizong of Tang (played by Kou Zhenhai). However, the crown prince Li Zhi (played by Bao Jianfeng) secretly fell in love with her and developed a love for her. However, since the day she entered the palace, Mei Niang was involved in the conspiracy of the court and began to experience all kinds of personal love, hatred and vengeance. Faced with the heroic spirit of the children of the rivers and lakes and the darkness and cruelty of the court struggle, Wu Meiniang, a talented woman of a generation, transformed from an ordinary woman into the first female emperor of China. When CTS first broadcast this drama, it was named "The Legend of Wu Meiniang". This large-scale idol drama in ancient costume is unique and has created many historical figures with distinct personalities with its powerful acting lineup. It also cleverly intersperses many major historical events of the Li Zhi era, such as Wang Yingzhen's rebellion, her self-proclaimed empress, the Turkic conflict, the Yellow River conservancy, the pacification of Korea, etc., and cleverly integrates official history and unofficial history to interpret a dramatic historical legend.
