WARNING!! MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS!!

A historical drama about an ill-fated prince in war-torn Ancient Nara during the Fujiwara Rebellions. In order to avoid a dispute with Fujiwara no Fuhito, the Imperial Prince, son of Emperor Monmu, allowed his half-brother Obito to become the successor to the throne in 713. Instead, he set out as imperial envoy to Tang China. Rather than wield political power, the wise prince advocated the spread of Buddhism across Japan. Admiring his elder brother, Imperial Prince Toyohito followed in his footsteps. However, Fujiwara no Takana is sent out to assassinate the imperial princes. On the deck of the ship in a violent storm, Toyohito is killed, and while Kiyohito and Takana are struggling they fall into the stormy sea and disappear. The two are washed ashore on a small island near the Goto Islands. There, those fleeing conflict in the Tang Dynasty have built a kind of Eden. Seeing this world for the first time, the two forget their conflict, and Prince Kiyohito falls in love with Princess Fuyo, who bears a resemblance to his first love, Princess Asukabe. However, Fuhito's evil influence reaches even this Eden....
