The novel follows Kiyoaki Matsugae, a young aristocrat struggling between his emotions and the rigid expectations of his social class. He shares a complicated relationship with Satoko Ayakura, a noblewoman he has known since childhood.
As their feelings slowly evolve into love, societal constraints, pride, and misunderstanding stand in their way. What begins as emotional distance turns into a passionate but doomed romance, leading to consequences that neither can escape.
