The video on the Sky Screen continued to play. As the background music swelled, the figure of a woman appeared on the screen.
【Coming up next is our tenth entry—of humble beginnings, devoid of vanity or ambition, a model of motherly virtue, and bearer of the greatest dowry in history! Empress Wei Zifu of Emperor Wu of Han!
Standing before you is the empress with the most magnificent dowry in Huaxia history, and the second longest-reigning empress of all time. Her life reads like fiction brought to reality: from a singing girl to an empress, her brother and nephew became the twin pillars of the empire. Her nephew’s younger brother would go on to become the greatest power-behind-the-throne in history, serving four successive emperors! With five marquises from a single clan, her family influenced the trajectory of the entire dynasty. She tutored the Crown Prince for over thirty years and managed the inner palace with flawless order. Yet, in the end, entangled in the Witchcraft Scandal, she realized there was no explaining her innocence and took her own life. She is the second empress of Emperor Wu of Han, birth mother to the Crown Prince Liu Ju, and the Filial Wu Empress, Wei Zifu!】
