Summary of Koukyuu no Karasu

In the depths of the inner palace lives a special consort who, despite her position as consort, does not serve the Emperor. She is known as the Raven Consort. People who have seen her say she looks like an old woman while others say she looks like a young woman. The stories tell of his use of mysterious arts and how he can accept any request, be it killing curses or finding lost things. Koushun, the current emperor, visits the Crow Consort with this intention. Not realizing that their fateful encounter will become a taboo that will turn history upside down.
