One of the most interesting things about the ending twist (which I guessed very early on in the book) is that Wu Zetian's rage has always been directed at people who actually did do bad things to her or others (or at least she thought she did.) From her perspective, there were no moral dilemmas.
Now she's got an actual moral dilemma: the Hunduns have not done anything wrong. They're in the position of the concubine-pilots: intelligent beings who are mined for resources and then discarded as corpses. I'm curious how she/Zhao will handle this.
I'm also suuuuper curious what will happen with the cryogenically frozen dude whose spirit pressure goes up to 11.
