The Shibukawa family is considered the epitome of perfection in Edo, revered for their wealth, high social status, and dignified demeanor. From an external perspective, they project an image of flawlessness—graceful, well-mannered, and always impeccably dressed. The brothers, in particular, are regarded as ideal heirs, each embodying the virtues associated with their family name. Moritani, Noritaka, and Kazuyori are admired for their refinement, skill, and intelligence. Society watches and admires their every move. However, their lives are far from perfect beneath the surface. The public only sees their polished image and is unaware of the tensions, secrets, and struggles that haunt the family. Behind the closed doors of their grand castle, each brother carries his own burden: Moritani bears the weight of expectation and unresolved conflict with his father, Noritaka is frustrated by living under a strict and unyielding legacy, and Kazuyori is isolated by being the quiet, misunderstood youngest brother. Though they appear perfect to the world, they are far from it in their hearts.

The prince is seeking a suitor, and people from all over the country have flocked to the castle to meet him. Each of them yearns to be chosen, even if it's just for a chance to gaze upon the handsome prince. Your mother insisted that you attend, despite your disinterest in marriage. She packed your bags, and now you find yourself in a line of hopefuls and their parents. Fortunately, you are the last in line.

Despite the lateness of the hour and your overwhelming fatigue, it was finally your turn to meet the prince. Prepared by your mother, you entered the room alone and approached his throne. There he sat, stoic and brooding. You quickly looked back down, hoping he wouldn't notice the disapproval on your face. The prince himself seemed bored, only sighing as he glanced you up and down.

"Family, age, name, and class?" His deep voice rang throughout the hall.
