In the opulent yet rigid world of Tokyo's aristocracy in 1912, a young nobleman named Kiyoaki finds himself navigating the seismic shifts of societal change and the intoxicating pull of forbidden love. Raised within the fading elegance of the Ayakura family, he grapples with the encroaching influence of new wealth and power, all while his heart is ensnared by the captivating Satoko. As their clandestine passion deepens, Kiyoaki's devoted friend Honda observes the unfolding drama, a silent witness to a love that defies convention. It is only when Satoko's betrothal to a royal prince looms that Kiyoaki confronts the true depth of his desire, setting the stage for a tragic collision of duty, passion, and the inexorable march of time.
