    Synopsis:

    In a secluded village nestled amidst ancient landscapes, twin siblings Tatara and Sarasa are marked by prophecy. When a soothsayer designates Tatara as the key to liberating Japan from a despotic monarchy, fate takes a brutal turn. The Red King's swift and merciless action shatters this destiny, leaving Sarasa to inherit her brother's burden. Forced to assume his identity, she embarks on a perilous journey across a fractured nation.

    The series follows Sarasa as she navigates political intrigue and confronts the oppressive forces that hold Japan captive. It explores themes of duty versus personal will, sacrifice, and the complexities of legacy in a world grappling with tyranny. The narrative blends elements of folklore and political struggle, offering a character-driven exploration of resilience and the weight of expectation.
