Empress Ki’s rise to power is truly astonishing. She was forced to leave her homeland to become a female tribute to the Yuan dynasty. She became a palace servant and eventually climbed the ranks to be empress. However, during the Ming dynasty, Empress Ki was blamed for the downfall of the Mongolian dynasty because of her “corruption and extravagance. Empress Ki did betray her native country by invading her homeland. Her family prospered from Empress Ki’s position and often abused their power. Regardless of whether Empress Ki deserves her negative reputation, it is clear that she made a massive impact on Chinese history.

This is the story of the most hated empress in history.
