The main character is forced into a loveless political marriage!
The most beautiful and sad love story in the history of ”Ooku” is born, with ”love” as its theme!
It was the middle of the Edo period (1603-1867), the economy was in the midst of a downturn, and the people of Japan were forced to live a life of frugality, thrift, and hard work. The disparity between the people of Japan and those of other countries is widening, and the people are anxiously awaiting the arrival of the Shogun who will improve the economy and make the country and its people wealthy. Under such circumstances, Rinko was forced to enter into a political marriage with the 10th shogun, Ieharu Tokugawa, and traveled from Kyoto to the Ooku, the inner palace behind the Honmaru of Edo Castle, where she found nearly 1,000 women serving the shogun. The fierce battle to win the favor of a single Shogun was about to begin. Meanwhile, someone is plotting to plunge the inner chambers and the Edo shogunate into a whirlpool of confusion.
