In the heart of feudal Japan, amid the opulent beauty of Kyoto, there is a geisha named Yuki who, despite her stunning elegance and grace, secretly longs for something more than the life of a courtesan. She yearns for true love, for freedom, and for a life that exists beyond the confines of her okiya. When she catches the eye of Lord Renjiro, a man of noble birth bound by honor and familial duty, the two embark on a dangerous and forbidden journey that could destroy them both.
As their love blooms in secret, the barriers of class and duty close in around them. Renjiro is forced to choose between his ancestral honor and the woman who has captured his heart. Meanwhile, Yuki?s world unravels when she becomes the subject of vicious gossip, and the elders of the geisha world cast her out. With no one left but each other, Yuki and Renjiro must escape Kyoto and face the harsh realities of their forbidden love, where even the gods seem to frown upon their bond.
Trapped between the darkness of their pasts and the painful sacrifices they must make, Yuki and Renjiro?s story is one of passion, rebellion, and ultimately, the choices that define them. But when the gods intervene in ways neither of them expect, they must decide if they can truly outrun the weight of the world. Can love transcend honor and power, or will they both be consumed by the forces that seek to tear them apart?
