Raven of the Inner Palace - S01

In the royal court, one figure is both feared and respected: the Raven Consort Ryuu Jusetsu. She lives in her jet-black palace, apart from the emperor, and rumors about her never stop. People say she has mystic powers and will take on any request, from finding lost items to casting curses. Some call her an immortal sage, while others think she is a terrifying revenant. But none of that bothers Jusetsu, who would rather spend her days in quiet solitude. That is, until the emperor, Ka Koushun, barges into her court and asks for her help with a mysterious case. The young emperor's request forces Jusetsu to leave her palace for the first time. Even though Ka Koushun's constant visits annoy her endlessly, she cannot bring herself to turn him away. Her predecessor's teachings echo in her ears: the Raven Consort is destined to remain forever alone and never desire anything. Yet Jusetsu finds herself forming the first of several bonds when she asks Jiujiu, an innocently curious court girl, to be her only attendant. Together, they begin handling requests from the people of the palace. But unknown dangers lurk in the outside world, and drawing attention to herself may bring Jusetsu face-to-face with a past better left undisturbed.
