Imperial Attendant Jian Shuo, Empress He Lingsi and Grand Marshal He Jin
Three of the biggest opportunists in Emperor Ling's court and, by their good fortune and everyone else's misfortune, the most high-standing.
Something they remain oblivious of, however, is that however high you stand, the more you become a target.
Jian Shuo, once Cao Jie's protege, hopes to fill the spot his master made absent and finds himself woefully inefficient. Though not lacking in low cunning, he lacks the patience and forward-thinking of his master and the respect from his peers that came with it.
Empress He Lingsi is the latest and possibly the most obvious sign of the Emperor's lack of regard to tradition. A butcher's daughter elevated to the Empress's throne is, to many, the ultimate insult and she begins ruling the harem with an iron fist, clashing with the Emperor's mother and other concubines, far too eager to resort to bloodshed with the help of her brother...
He Jin, the butcher's boy turned Grand Marshal of Imperial Han. A hopeless incompetent with an indirectly proportioned ego and an utter unwillingness to accept how out of his depth he is protecting an empire from a nation-wide rebellion, he finds himself outplayed at every turn by his two most capable and ambitious lieutenants, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao.
Jian Shuo I've already illustrated once but briefly. He starts to come into his own later but unlike Cao Jie, he forgets how the game is played.
While based on Ancient Chinese headpieces and decor, there is meant to be some allusion to the monstrous Georgian wigs with He Lingsi, bunched up high and appearing taller than she is.

рани. Як необачно з вашої сторони.

It's so beautiful how TGCF approaches different types of love: a devotee's love; love of a god with humanity and with his most faithful devotee; love between friends; genuine love that had its end; love that wasn't enough. It's a shame that many people fail to appreciate this.
