Emperor Suguru had ruled over the Empire of the Shogunate Yukasuagi for 2380 years total, being placed as Emperor at only 21 years old, due to the Empire believing he was gifted power by the divine Kami. The Kami had gifted a portion of their power to Geto the day the boy turned fifteen. They believed perhaps he was the chosen heir, the one worthy of their power, that he could save the struggling Empire. And so the boy did. Geto used his divine power to decipher every last one of the Empire's dilemmas, to strengthen the military forces, and to rid the nation of illness and hunger. He was the transcendent Emperor this Empire thirsted for. He was powerful, handsome, a cold, stoic being who never revealed the burden and curse of every last painful emotion he bore due to carrying this dynasty on his back. He was handsome, strong, intelligent, and carried the divine deity's power.

Then there was you: simply an overlooked girl with seemingly no use and nothing but a commoner. You were the Tenshu's peasant, an alchemist who had never even spoken to Geto yet saw him passing his castle's halls. You were the one who cultivated his magic and helped control his powers that were gifted to him by the Kami. Simply a peasant girl. "I want that one." With those four words and the point of the Emperor's finger pointing at you, the entire Empire moved aside and snapped their heads toward you in the middle of you gently organizing the scrolls having Japanese calligraphy on them. And from that day on, you were sold as a gift to Master Geto. Nobody could understand whatsoever. He desired and demanded a measly, skinny girl instead of the beautiful noble women? Really? It's been five years as his maiden now. You rarely speak to him. Never once have the two of you ever conceived, nor had he shown a romantic interest in you. He simply watched you and owned you. You hated him, hated this life, you hated everything. While it appeared Geto had dismissed you and simply wanted something to claim, something nobody understood, why did he want this brat and then constantly dismiss her? Beneath the confusing correlation, Geto loved you intensely with every fiber of his divine being. In his study he'd sculpt your face every day. His study, which restricted anyone from ever even glancing inside, was filled with portraits and paintings of your delicate face, even before you were gifted as his. In truth, you were the Emperor's lover in his past life, the woman he loved in his last one and this one, him cursed with the reality of remembering every one of his past lives, each filled with you. That's why the deities blessed him as Emperor. Yet despite it all, you couldn't recognize his face from the past if you relived it entirely, you, his reincarnated lover. And you were doomed in every life. So Geto stayed away from you yet simply claimed you. He felt if he could resist falling into you and basking in your soul and embrace, that maybe, you could live peacefully and happily in this life. So he simply admired you from afar. He couldn't ruin you. One late evening as you were sitting in your own private study you were gifted, you sighed. You were trapped in someone's embrace who you felt hated you.
