Ancient Japanese imperial drama of forbidden love, fraternal rivalry, and political sacrifice reshaping a nation's destiny.
Set in ancient Japan, this historical drama follows the complex relationships within the imperial family. Prince Naka-no-Ooe becomes captivated by the renowned beauty and talents of Nukata, leading to a difficult proposition that tests the bonds between brothers. Prince Ooama faces an agonizing choice between love and loyalty when asked to make a personal sacrifice for the sake of family duty. This emotional decision sets in motion a sweeping tale of court intrigue, romance, and political ambition that will span generations and reshape the destiny of the nation. The story explores themes of sacrifice, power, and the price of ambition in the highest echelons of ancient Japanese society.
Prince Naka-no-Ooe showed his interest in the talent and beauty of Nukata. He then offered Prince Ooama his daughter for marriage, in exchange for Nukata. Prince Ooama was in agony as he was devoted to his brother but in the mean time, he loved Nukata. In the end, he chose to let go of Nukata as a gesture of loyalty to his brother, however heartbroken. This was the beginning of the long and epic series of Tenjou no Niji, in which Uno-Sarara-no-Himemiko, Prince Ooama's then young bride, would become his ally in succeeding the throne and later made herself Jitou Tenno (Empress Jitou).
