She was born in the fabled Tang Dynasty in the seventh century. She grew up on the banks of the Long River, where she learned to tame horses. She entered the imperial gynaecology, where ten thousand concubines lived.
She witnessed murders, conspiracies, betrayals, and became the Empress of China. She survived war, famine, and epidemics. She raised Chinese culture to its peak, surrounded herself with poets, calligraphers, and philosophers. From the most beautiful palace in the world, she ruled the world's largest empire. She became the Holy Emperor Who Turns the Golden Wheel. Her name was slandered, history was distorted, and memories were erased: men took revenge on a woman who dared to become emperor. After thirteen centuries, she opens the doors of the Forbidden City for the first time... Chinese writer Shan Sa was born in Beijing in 1972, and her last novel, "The Empress," was a great success in France in 2003.
