Kiyoaki and Satoko are childhood sweethearts, and both come from noble families. However, young Kiyoaki's love for Satoko is pregnant with uneasiness. In the year when Satoko was 20 years old, Satoko was favored by the royal family Doin Palace and wanted to marry as his daughter-in-law and received the emperor's permission. Satoko did not wait for Kiyaki's promise and had no choice but to accept the emperor's order. When the decree was promulgated and the engagement ceremony was about to be held, Kiyoaki was awakened from the hesitation. He finally understood the love for Satoko in his heart when he was about to lose her. He desperately seeks to see Satoko and expresses his feelings. Satoko, who loved him deeply, resolutely accepted his feelings. In the short period before the engagement ceremony, Satoko did not hesitate to have a tryst with Kiyoaki as the future princess. In confusion, Satoko had a relationship with Qingxian and became pregnant with Qingxian's child. In the end, Qingxian died of depression, and Satoko became a nun. This is a contradiction between "elegant transgression" and "blasphemous joy" in pure love. In this contradiction, Mishima brought his romance, aesthetics and classicism to perfection.
