    This could also be considered a Japanese Sengoku period story. Based on the Inuyasha universe and combined with the real Sengoku period background, it depicts the power struggle between the Hojo and Uesugi clans in Musashi Province. It portrays how Kaede maintained the unity of the samurai, temple, and shrine families, allowing Kaede Village to survive in this chaotic era teeming with demons; the nomadic lives of Inuyasha and Kikyo as humans, including Inuyasha's conscription; how the Miroku family fought against a curse; the tragic history of the Sango family; and Naraku's many transformations over 50 years—from farmer and courtesan to arms dealer and Noh and Kyogen performer—ultimately acquiring the suit of a young castle lord. Furthermore, Kagome's classmate, Hojo, is descended from Hojo Ujitsuna, showing the intricate connections between the characters in Inuyasha and the real Hojo family. Through this work, you can see the diverse aspects of life of ordinary people in Sengoku Japan. It's a rather unique Sengoku period fanfiction, not the kind where everything is about romance or overpowered demonic powers.

Your humble author has limited literary talent. As for the story, if you’re here for the battle chapters, I recommend skipping ahead to chapter 25. The first twenty-five chapters are just there to show Yufei what he’s fighting for! 82Reads—Score—Shelves

It precisely targets the pain points of all modern working professionals, using the most outrageous imagination to write the most heart-wrenching "survival rules of the imperial workplace."

    I haven't seen many Japanese Sengoku period dramas, but this one also has elements of war. It's worth watching; it's quite good.
