UPDATES EVERY SATURDAY. #116 in feminism DISCLAIMER: This is a work of fiction. Any similarity to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events, is purely coincidental. Independence. Knowledge. Love. It was a progressive imperial world of June 1892 when the latter is what ladies aim. But, this goal does not apply to a nineteen-year-old Japanese woman, Ayako Yamaguchi. Believing that she will make her father proud, she leaves her home country intending to study in Great Britain. There, she is under the care of the Steinfeld family. On the dangerous hand, secrets do not stay forever. Being independent is Ayako's true reason to leave with the help of Yui Tanaka, a former diplomat, and personal mentor. A golden rule of royal marriage that the wife's free-will remove in this full-fledged ceremony pushes her to run and hide from the hideous Imperial Prince Takahito Yokohama. Although Ayako is seeking this major goal, her own definition changes when she becomes a tutor of a half-Japanese boy, Hiroto Kujo. With her knowledge, she spares him ideas of culture and language for his upcoming political career. Yet with mindful conceptions and lingering past from this man, she doesn't expect that there was a story before everything. EXPECTED NUMBER OF WORDS: 70,000-90,000
