We welcome you to the Meiji Era's fifth year, as our protagonist Kaoruko, her family's sheltered daughter, has her world upended with the sudden arrival of Ralph, the esteemed British Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary, who is introduced as her betrothed.

Ralph's dominating yet protective demeanor and Kaoruko’s cautious yet curious nature weave together a love affair for the ages.
