Anshi

Anshi is the Empress Dowager and mother to the reigning Emperor. She rose from the position of a childhood attendant to become a figure of immense influence. Her early life was defined by tragedy, as she was forced into a relationship with the previous Emperor at a young age. Driven by resentment toward her late husband, Anshi eventually retaliated against his predatory behavior, an act of vengeance that ultimately led to the birth of the second prince.
