(Btw Meiling is Japanese in this only Eriol and Sora are Chinese mentioned in the story so far)
Summary
Society rules the City of Hong Kong, the wealthy Japanese, and the poor Chinese. Everyone has a secret; unable to follow because of the chains of the upper and lower class. Sakura is engaged to Yukito but it's not for love. He is a controlling, cynical man. What happens when she leaves to 'find herself' and meets a certain someone….Wealth and power is a gift and a curse..
Lost, in a sea of facades; masks hiding the true form of the inner person. Secrets unimaginable are hidden from view that would put everything at risk for them. Fame, fortune, high society rank, its all about who you are and how much wealth you have to be accepted. See that girl over that? Tomoyo Daidouji, a famous fashion designer married to CEO of Sun & Moon Corp, Yue Daidouji. Perfect couple don't you think? Laughing and mingling with all the other couples at the party, sharing a chaste kiss on the lips every now and then and his arm on her waist at all times. It was a signal that she was his always. Her lilac dress flowed perfectly from her body with her long black hair shown in the chandelier lights. Tomoyo was a true beauty with her amethyst eyes. But in reality Tomoyo and Yue aren't in a great relationship, for their marriage was arranged. Yue listened to his family's wishes to inherit the company and have honor in his family. Tomoyo wanted her family to have honor. But in secret Tomoyo is having an affair with a Chinese bookkeeper, Eriol Hiiragizawa. There is Rika Sasaki, a shy innocent girl who secretly goes under the name Sapphire at clubs to live the wild side of life with her mystery man Ruby. Then Meiling Dongle is over talking to some business people. Her black odangos flowed all the way to her mid back with ruby pins. She was wearing a traditional Chinese red dress that clung to her curves, perfectly trimmed and designs of gold. She was the sole heir to Sun & Moon Corp, but she didn't want to be. Meiling wanted to live a normal life with her lover Sora Karian rather than be controlled by her family and her social status. She was to be married to wealthy traveling man unknown to society by the end of the summer. Of course no one could break these chains of the predicament that they were born into.
Then there is me, Sakura Kinomoto engaged to the richest man in the world. Yukito Tsukishiro. Under all of these facades there is a different person wanting to get out . But it becomes harder to do that. I, on the other hand don't love my fiancée. Our relationship has no substance and it is all for show and tell. Men awe at me for my auburn locks at my mid back and my striking emerald eyes; that is why Yukito said he must have me as this bride. He was a rich man no doubt and handsome too. A gentleman with kind eyes, smooth silver shining hair and profound knowledge beyond thought. My father was getting old; Touya and I needed help to support him. Yukito was my only way out. The man courted me in awestruck ways and then we became engaged. He really isn't the great amazing chivalrous man I believed him to be. He is a demanding, selfish, and cynical. It's a long ways away from what I dreamed of when I was a little girl.
I remember when I was in grade school, there was a boy that I had a crush with. He was a curious child with deep brown curls and wide green eyes. The way his deep piercing eyes were hit my stomach to my toes. Though, I was Chinese girl and he was a Japanese boy.
My family came over to Hong Kong years ago when I was three years old. Fujitaka, my father, and Touya, my brother, and I all left China when my mother died. They are very devout on our oriental beliefs, my grandmother had bound feet and took serious to the spirits of this world. My father thought bound feet were barbaric and refused to have mother and I have our feet that way. I was very grateful for that, though my grandmother strongly disapproved of my father. He was adamant on oriental beliefs but he had some western teaching as well. As a young kid growing up in Japan, to school in a European boarding school, and eventually became an archaeologist returning home for excavations and investigations. On one of the excavations, he ran into my mother, Nedshiko, and fell head over heels about her. Her mother didn't approve at all about their love and forbade it. So they had a secret affair that, Sonami Daidouji, Nadeshiko's best friend helped with. Eventually the mother found out and through many disagreements allowed them to be together, still disapproving. But, when mother died, we never heard from grandmother again.
One day at school, I mustered up the courage to talk to that green-eyed wonder. We slowly became great friends. This grew on for years and until high school. His father died at a young age and his mom remarried our 7th grade. His step-father hated the Chinese with all his heart and when he saw me, he shouted, yelled and screamed at us. He was in utter shock that his step-son would talk to the enemies. Fujitaka tried to reason with him but he refused. I cried for days that I lost one of my best friends. I was lucky I still had Tomoyo. She was also very sad about him but she was never as close with him as I was. Then after a month he moved to England and never heard from him again. This was just some of the segregation of Japanese and Chinese classes. The wealthy Japanese and the poor Chinese. Schools were intergraded but there was still hatred within the families. The children were too young and innocent to care about the segregation, all they saw was who had the prettiest or most crayons let alone what people looked like. Teachers were sent in from other countries so the segregation of the students weren't a problem. The unspoken culture, appearances and social class kept segregation in the sleepy town of Hong Kong
