Description
[Machine Translation] The time is the Heian period. A radiantly beautiful prince was born. Soon after, the boy was removed from the imperial family to avoid a power struggle, and was given the family name of Minamoto and called "Hikaru Genji". Hikaru Genji fell in love with his stepmother, Fujikajinomiya, who resembled his mother's early death. However, this was an unforgivable love affair, and he ended up marrying Aoi no Ue while putting aside his feelings for the Fujijikinomiya. His relationship with Aoi no Ue did not work out, and Genji was in love with a number of women. He eventually met Wakamurasaki (later Murasaki no Ue), a girl who resembled Fujinoko-no Miya, and took her in, raised her, and adopted her as his wife. Still unable to forget her, Genji had an illicit affair with her, and continued to have relations with various women while being at the mercy of the political world. Finally, when Murasaki no Mikami died of heartache, Genji decided to leave the priesthood. After Hikaru Genji's death, his grandson Saginomiya and his son Kaoru-no-kimi, ostensibly the second son of Genji, rose to prominence; the two fell in love with the Uji sisters and then fell in love with their sister Ukifune, with whom they had a falling-out over Ukifune. Ukifune, who had lost her life, drifted away to the foot of Mount Hiei. What kind of decision will Ukifune make?
