Synopsis
Spurned heiress becomes top courtesan to exact revenge on childhood friend, facing rival Takao. Includes bonus story.
Eight years ago, Tsubaki, a daughter of a successful businessman, was reluctantly given to the Yoshiwara, the red light district of Tokyo, after a tragic fire burned down the entire family's wealth and belongings. Shin, a childhood friend of Tsubaki's, coldly turned his back on her now that she was poor. Furious, Tsubaki, threw herself into becoming a top oiran girl to beguile him with her looks and then reject him one day! But plans are never as easy as they seem. For one, the beautiful and cold-hearted Takao stands in her way. Included one-shot: Volume 4: Ginrou no Sakura (The Silver Wolf's Sakura)
