Michi and the 7 Kings

In 18th-century Kyoto, the bustling Teramachi Street market is the pride of the city-vibrant, honorable, and alive with trade. But hidden among its polished stalls is Akira, a young orphan whose survival depends on wit, trickery, and manipulation. Despised by merchants yet impossible to ignore, she has turned deception into an art.

When fate thrusts Akira into the path of the Emperor and his powerful advisor, her world begins to shift. What starts as a punishment becomes an unexpected elevation, and the girl who once conned customers finds herself caught in webs of power, illusion, and destiny. As Akira learns new forms of magic and influence, she must decide whether her talents will serve only herself-or reshape the world around her.
