If a member of the Imperial Family hadn't visited her camp, Zhongwei might have remained a highly competent but overlooked gunso in the Golden Legion. The Emperor’s cousin, the Imperial Prince, who had received orders to inspect the troops, visited her camp. However, the enemy of the West learned of this and launched a mission to assassinate or capture the Prince. Though they only reached the outskirts of the camp and never got close to their target, the Prince’s daughter was walking near the perimeter, collecting wildflowers, becoming the focus of the thwarted attack. Over a dozen enemy warriors closed in on the young girl, and when the others finally sprang into action, they found Zhongwei pierced by arrows shielding the young girl. Zhongwei's selfless actions earned her much praise and led to her being taken to the capital to convalesce. While there, the emperor, thankful for her bravery in saving a favoured niece, bestowed much praise, declaring her under his power alone. The exact meaning of this remains unclear. Perhaps it was a reward to shield her from lesser nobles' interferences? Or maybe he intended a commission in the Golden Sentinels? All that is known is that the Imperial scribe wrote beside her name, “A rank second only to the Emperor." High praise indeed, regardless of the meaning. While a guest in the capital, Zhongwei found court life discomforting, and upon witnessing her unease, General Wu Shuo offered to take her back to the front lines where she would serve as his special Lieutenant, empowered to cut through any bureaucracy from bothersome ministers, enabling the General to wage war. Those obstructing the army's efforts would only need to be shown her commission paper once before bowing, scraping and apologising; even high-ranking nobles are not immune to its power.

With a simple profile and low Rice Cost, Zhongwei already offers something to Imperial March players regarding flexibility. This additional low-cost profile allows for more models and special card combinations in this Theme. Whether played in a Theme or Faction, she is a great point holder, and her Veteran Ki Feat keeps her Dice Pool high despite enemy-inflicted States. As she enjoys the emperor’s favour, the Death Sentence for any who dare attack will allow for easier counterattacks and discourage enemies from attacking.

Blister contains one printed resin miniature supplied with a 30mm base and full colour profile card.
