The granddaughter of Kermaria was crowned at the age of fourteen. The people of Margel immediately disliked her because of her Mindjin roots and the appearance that came with them—even though Mindjin was one of the regions of the empire, no one wanted to see a foreigner at the head of the country. At the same time, the advisors deceived and exploited her in every way, and the government hindered most of her endeavors. One of the few exceptions to this situation was the Empress Shen's proposal to conquer the Sherian tribes. Where she simply "liked" the beastfolk, the imperial government saw strategic arguments in favor of such an invasion.
Shen was very capricious and, at times, even cruel to those around her—those whom her limited power could reach. She was easily angered, did not tolerate being argued with, became upset when her orders were not carried out "perfectly," and generally had a repulsive character. Despite this, she had a large number of male admirers—some sought wealth from her, others liked her appearance, and a third group even liked being treated the way she treated them. Of all the monarchs of Margel, she had the most lovers.
Shen was killed at the age of 33 by opponents of mixing foreign blood with the imperial family.
