What is the true identity of the solitary Raven Consort?
The Raven Consort is a special consort living deep in the inner palace who, despite her title, does not perform nighttime duties for the emperor. Some who have seen her say she has the appearance of an old woman, while others describe her as a young girl. The Raven Consort's name is Shouxue. She has the ability to use mysterious arts and will accept any favor asked of her, whether it is to find something lost or to curse someone to death.
The current emperor, Gaojun, visits her one night to ask a favor. Their meeting exposes a secret that will turn history on its head...

Language: The main difficulty here is the 後宮語 (Inner court vocabulary) and 古い名前 (archaic names). Further complicating things, if you go to check the English translation, it uses the Chinese pronunciations for everything, which often bear no resemblance to the JP pronunciations. If you want to try preparing for it, it may be a good idea to go through the jpdb deck, or even read the light novel (though that's harder than the anime).
