She is hated by both men and gods, and heaven and earth cannot allow her to exist. After suffering devastating loss, Zetian finds herself at the seat of power in Huaxia. But her world is not as it seems, and revelations about an enemy more daunting than she imagined forces her to share her power with a dangerous man. Despite having vastly different ideas on what they are to each other and how the world should change, Zetian must join him in a dance of truth and lies to take down their common enemy and get back the one she lost.
