In 690, Wu Zetian finally became Empress after eight years of plotting and conspiracy. Right before she was about to ascend the throne and become the first ever empress in Chinese history, her cronies began to die from self-combustion. After hitting a lot of dead ends, Wu Zetian reluctantly reinstated Detective Di Renjie after he had served eight years in prison. Detective D went through a great deal solving this case, and paid his price in the process. The future of the great empire is hanging on by a thread.
