Riishu

Residing within the Diamond Palace, this virtuous high consort was originally sent to the inner court as a child to protect her from the previous Emperor’s predatory nature. Although she briefly escaped following his death, her influential family orchestrated her return to her prestigious rank. Lacking the maturity to command respect or interest from the current Emperor, she remains politically powerless. This vulnerability leaves the naive young woman isolated and frequently targeted by bullying, even from her own personal attendants.
