    Tang Dynasty.

    Explanation:

    Empress Wu was the only female ruler to rule in Chinese history. Her full name was Wu Zetian. She ruled the Tang Dynasty in the seventh century AD. She was considered the ruthless and decisive ruler of China. She was a beautiful young girl who became the concubine of Emperor Taizong at the age of 14.

    Taizong had a son named Li Zhi, who was attracted to Wu. After the death of Taizong, Li came into power taking the name of Gaozong. Wu, through the means of corruption, became the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, with the purpose to end the Dynasty and establish the Zhou Dynasty; in which she failed.
