Shurei Hong, destitute but of noble birth, has always dreamed of working as a civil servant in the imperial court of Saiunkoku, but women are barred from holding office. The emperor Ryuki, however, refuses to take command, leaving everything to his advisors. Shurei is asked to become a consort to the emperor to persuade the ne’er-do-well ruler to govern.
Shurei enters the palace as Ryuki’s consort, but he has yet to seek her out. It is rumored that men, not women, share the emperor’s bedchamber. Shurei must think of a way to stop the emperor from shirking his responsibilities, but she has to find him first!
I didn't know what to expect when I first picked up this manga. I was very happily surprised with the results. I loved the art work and the story has gained my interest. I already plan to buy every book in this series, that's how great this first volume was. I also now want to buy the anime. I highly recommend this for anyone who is a fan of shojo manga.

I Also Recommend:
The story is wonderful and always changing as they introduce new characters, and it's awesome in that they never just introduce a character and leave him/her they always are relevent to the story. Then add the romantic center to the whole story, one is always wondering who Shuurei is going to end up with... who will she choose??
