Wu Zetian was the only Empress of China but instead of getting celebrated, she's gone down in history as an evil megalomaniac. Did Wu really kill a baby? Seduce her lover's son? Execute people in straight-up deranged ways? Or is there more to this story?

In the very first (!) episode of Yesterday's News, Dancy and Veronica discuss the complicated legacy of Wu Zetian. Spoiler alert: There's waaaaay more to this lady than a bad reputation.
