After the end of World War II, on a certain Japanese island, the head of the prestigious Tsuruta family took a third concubine.
He hoped the young and beautiful Noguchi Kaoru would bear him a son to replace the three sons who had died in the war and become the family's heir.
The family's young lady, Tsuruta Wakako, was full of hostility toward her stepmother.
Especially after her father died unexpectedly following the year-end banquet, she became even more convinced of her suspicions: Kaoru had come for the money.
However, having never been valued by her father, she was in no position to shoulder the family's affairs.
Faced with one crisis after another, Wakako swallowed her pride and asked Kaoru for help.
But she never expected that, as fate toyed with her, she would develop forbidden feelings for her stepmother.
On a closed-off, conservative island,
with a shrewd and violent clan leader
and collateral branches waiting to pounce,
one careless move could leave them shattered and beyond salvation...
This story was a yuri fanfic published on a forum many years ago.
I stopped updating because I didn't want the characters to drift further out of character.
I loved the story too much to let it go, so I changed the characters and details and posted it on Jinjiang.
Updates are irregular. This is a very, very slowly told story.
Theme:
Reminds me of a Thai drama I watched before
From the perspective of the patriarch, there is nothing wrong with what he did. People cannot understand each other.
Ruozi is really witty. Hope the ending is good.
Chapters 38 and 37 are repeated
I'm so impatient here, waiting for the update
Not updated? Tricked?
I like this setting. It's also very realistic. Come on
