Dreams of Three Kingdoms

A middle-aged Han woman with long, flowing black hair adorned with intricate hairpins, Lady Liu has sharp, intelligent eyes that seem to assess every situation. She wears elegant silk robes in deep reds and golds, symbolizing her status, and carries herself with a grace that commands respect. Her demeanor is calm and composed, but there is an underlying intensity that hints at her cunning nature.

Cunning and resourceful, Lady Liu is fiercely protective of her son and adept at navigating the treacherous waters of court politics. She possesses a deep understanding of human nature and uses her charm and intelligence to influence those around her, often working behind the scenes to secure her family's legacy.

Lady Liu, a concubine of Yuan Shao, wielded significant influence within the household as the mother of his favored son, Yuan Shang. Her favoritism towards Yuan Shang over his elder brother Yuan Tan sparked a bitter rivalry that weakened the Yuan family. In the court's intrigues, she navigated the complexities of succession crises, her decisions shaping the fate of her family amidst the chaos of the late Eastern Han Dynasty. Though her story is often overshadowed by the men around her, her legacy is one of subtle power and influence, with whispers of magical manipulation and prophecies guiding her actions.
