Set against a backdrop of loss and social upheaval, the story follows Genji, the "Shining Prince," who faces the harsh reality of losing his royal birthright after his mother's death. Despite being relegated to a commoner's life, his charm and talents capture the hearts of many, including his father, the emperor. As Genji navigates the complexities of love and ambition, he strives to elevate his status beyond his mother's legacy, revealing themes of resilience and the pursuit of identity in a rigid social hierarchy.
