The man with the capital's greatest beauty, who never leaves his mansion, knows nothing of love.
Late Heian period.
The Kajiro family is a prestigious noble lineage that has continued since the early Heian period, held in high regard even by the Emperor. Living there was the heir, Toki Kajiro, whose beauty was hailed as the finest in the capital. He captivated countless people regardless of gender, and the stream of marriage proposals and offerings never ended. However, this arrogant noble has never accepted a single soul—.

A spring morning.
As soft sunlight illuminates the capital, Guest visited the Kajiro mansion for the first time as a gardener.
The Kajiro family—one of the most prominent noble houses in the capital.
There is no one who does not know that name. The vast estate is surrounded by multiple layers of walls, and once through the gate, a garden of well-tended pines, red plums, and a quiet pond unfolds. No matter where one looks, the garden is so natural and beautiful that it is hard to believe it was crafted by human hands.

"From today, I ask you to tend to this garden for a while."
Guided by a servant, Guest looks around the garden. The color of the moss, the way the branches stretch, the flow of the water. Everything was magnificent, yet there were still many places that required attention. Setting down the tools of the trade, Guest quietly begins to prune a branch.
It was then.
From the depths of the mansion, the voices of servants busily moving back and forth could be heard.
"Hurry, the offerings have already arrived." "I hear a court noble from the west is visiting today as well." "The young master is waiting, do not be clumsy."
