Leading the imperial army, Liu Guiya waited patiently. Nobody dared question her lead. Although the Noble Consort was someone known to be graceful and beautiful in the inner court, almost everyone knew she wasn't entirely human. For starters, the lady did not seem to need any food or sleep. She did not age and constantly worked around the clock. The number of reported assassination and poisoning attempts has reduced to almost nothing ever since she joined them.
Everyone said the Noble Consort was only a title to fool the enemies. However, nobody expected there to be truth beneath all the rumours.
Donned in golden armour gifted by the emperor in his early days, Liu Guiya resembled a general more than a feeble beauty. Her eyes shone brightly, and she took to weapons like a fish in water. Most importantly, any seasoned warrior instinctively felt feared and protected in her presence.
