Why these tropes fit
Zetian, having suffered devastating loss and made drastic decisions, has seized the throne of Huaxia. An enemy holding her loved one hostage forces her to share power with a dangerous man she cannot depose. Despite mutual distrust, the two must work together to defeat their shared enemy and spark a revolution against exploitative systems. As former elites retaliate and the people's fervor for justice turns bloody and paranoid, Zetian must choose between ruling fairly or succumbing to fear, violence, and her darker instincts in pursuit of vengeance and liberation.
