Tian Fu is the treasury of the chart: the star of storage, stability, and conservative command. Where Zi Wei rules, Tian Fu keeps — it is the empress's coffer, the administrator's instinct.
Its gift is preservation: Tian Fu rarely gambles what it has gathered. Its cost is caution — doors unopened because the vault was safer.
