Synopsis
Contrary to history, Princess An Ding Si, the second born of Wu Ze Tian, was not killed but smuggled out of the palace. After she grew up, she returned to take revenge on her mother after her foster mother and foster uncle had died, for sacrificing her in her plan to become the first Empress regnant of China. The princess assumed the identity of her younger sister, 太平公主, the youngest and most beloved child of Empress Wu Ze Tian. She tried to use her mother's blinding love for 太平 to slowly gain control of the court and to help her nephew, 李隆基.
