Among the many concubines, there was an empress, Koi, who gathered the emperor's favor. However, after being envied and bullied by everyone, including the other empresses, she died, leaving Ninomiya, who was as beautiful as a jewel, alone. The emperor demoted the guardianless prince from his status as a subject and gave him the family name of Minamoto. From then on, this prince will be called Hikaru Genji... Eventually, Hikaru Genji marries Princess Aoi no Ue, but in his heart he longs for Fujitsubo's palace, and this feeling eventually turns into a painful love...
