| Summary | Kiyoko, the elegant and revered wife of Minister Harue Imo, seemingly possesses a life of unblemished prestige and affection. Yet beneath her serene exterior, subtle anxieties stir, whispers of a past carefully kept hidden. Her world shatters when a cryptic summons leads her to a remote Kyoto village, and to the ailing biological father she barely remembers. There, Kiyoko unearths a devastating truth: her origins are tied to the "New Commoners," a marginalized group scorned by society. Now, caught between filial duty and the crushing weight of her secret, Kiyoko faces an impossible choice. How can she reconcile her privileged present with a heritage deemed impure, knowing its exposure could dismantle her husband's career and condemn her to indelible shame? Will she sacrifice everything to embrace her true self, or become a casualty of a society obsessed with status and superficiality? |
