Living deep in the inner palace, the Raven Consort is a special consort who does not spend the night with the emperor. Some say her figure is that of an old woman, others a girl. She is said to use mysterious techniques to take care of everything from casting deadly curses to finding lost items. One day, the young emperor visits the Raven Consort with a favor to ask.
