Shiori Shimizu, a high school student in the 21st century who is obsessed with the history of Japan's Warring States Period, accidentally traveled to the Warring States Period at a Kyoto Shrine and became Kaede Amemori, the daughter of an important minister of the Asai family. She has all the predictions about the direction of history, but she is unable to change anyone's fate.
From the gentle years of Omi Otani Castle, to the ten years of watching with cold eyes at Azuchi Castle, to the world overturning in the Honnoji Incident, Kaede Ame, as a witness, personally experienced the most magnificent twenty years of the Warring States Period:
She watched Asai Nagamasa go to ruin, fell in love with Akechi Mitsuhide but was destined to be separated forever, became confidants in troubled times with bipa musician Watanabe Yamazawa, watched Oda Nobunaga burn the world, Toyotomi Hideyoshi cleverly conquered the country, and Tokugawa Ieyasu had the last laugh.
She has loved, suffered, and struggled. She is a silent witness in troubled times. The whole book uses the delicacy and tenacity of the female soul to write a historical tragedy about fate, regret and watchfulness.
Purpose: From the perspective of a female witness, examine the insignificance and tenacity of individuals in the torrent of history, and explore the meaning of love, loss and watching amid the irreversibility of fate.
