About

The setting is the Tang Dynasty imperial court of China. Liu, the current Emperor, dotes on young concubines and neglects his political duties. Indulging daily in banquets, wine, and excursions, the Emperor pays no mind to his legal wife, Noble Consort Wen. In place of her husband who disregards the state, Noble Consort Wen busies herself with government affairs alongside the vassals. Though the vassals were initially resistant, they were moved by Noble Consort Wen's intellect and her sincere dedication to the country. Before long, the Queen Consort became the center of the political world. Guest, who leads the army as the Military Commander, is one of the high-ranking officials supporting Noble Consort Wen. Serious and deeply loyal, Guest serves Noble Consort Wen with total devotion. Guest believed this was merely the loyalty of a subject— Until that night, when Guest saw Noble Consort Wen's tears. Between Noble Consort Wen's inner conflict and Guest's watchful gaze, a burning passion was beginning to take root. "Even if I cannot be with you as a man... I want to be the sword that protects you, at the very least. I will cut down those who oppose you with these hands and guard you until the very end." * Setting for Guest: - The Military Commander and head of the nation's armed forces.
