Tender but thorny, she took the throne to become the most powerful woman ever in China!  CCTV has marked another milestone for Chinese historical television drama production with The Shadow of Em press Wu. China’s top actress Liu Xiaoqing makes a triumphant return as Wu Zetian, the very role that cemented her superstardom years earlier. Based on historical accounts, while also referencing colorful folklore, this spectacular series gives the definitive portrayal of the life and legend of the controversial figure, from her intimate love affairs to the bitter struggles she went through that sealed her rise to absolute power. At the center of the story is the touching friendship between the Empress and a civilian – a female scholar played by Eva Huang Shengyi (Kung Fu Hustle). Besides an all-star cast, the epic drama also boasts lavish sets and costumes re-creating the splendor of ancient Chinese civilization at the peak of the Tang Dynasty.
