Synopsis:

Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century Japan's Taisho era, the story follows Haru Asagi, a young woman who takes employment as a maid to alleviate her family’s financial burdens. She finds herself within the opulent and intensely competitive household of the Miyanomori family, a powerful dynasty led by a retiring industrial magnate. His six sons, each shaped by varying degrees of ambition and resentment, are now locked in a struggle for control of their father's empire.

Haru navigates the complex dynamics between these brothers – ranging from weary resignation to ruthless pursuit – witnessing both their vulnerabilities and their darker impulses. As the succession battle intensifies, hints emerge of a larger threat looming over the family’s legacy. The narrative explores themes of familial duty, societal expectations, and the corrosive effects of unchecked power within a rapidly changing world. The atmosphere is steeped in a sense of restrained tension, examining the human cost behind immense wealth and influence.
