The Story of Saiunkoku (2006)

Saiunkoku Monogatari / 彩雲国物語

Information

Synopsis

“Long ago, in an era ravaged by war, a young man rose against evil, strengthened by the will of the people. Known by many names, he attained the mysterious powers of the Eight Sages. His name was Sougen, and he became the first emperor of the Saiun Empire. After his death, the Sages disappeared, but rumour has it that they still live among the people.”

This is what Shuurei Kou tells the children she teaches. Shuurei is a young noblewoman in Saiunkoku, who lives with her father, a librarian, in the palace, and Seiran, a man she saved 13 years ago, who serves her faithfully. The family home is falling into disrepair, and Shuurei has to take on various jobs to make ends meet. She dreams of becoming a politician, but women are not allowed to take the exam.

One day, a palace advisor appears with a proposal: the family should move into the palace for 500 gold coins. Seiran becomes the temporary captain of the guard, and Shuurei is to become the empress. The young emperor is unpopular and leaves the affairs of state to his advisors. Rumour has it that he has no desire for women. Shuurei’s task will be to help him rule the country – a challenge, especially since she must first learn how the empire works.
