Prologue

At the moment she entered, the whole room held their breath.

It was like a painting came alive. Her flowing black hair, her long and thick eyelashes, her white porcelain skin – everything about them were whispering something unreal. But the most mesmerizing feature of her was the way she held herself; graceful and full of pride like a queen, yet sweet and innocent like a newly blossomed flower.

She strolled across the room, paying no attention to all of the adoring looks, and only focused on one man: a tall samurai with golden locks and enchanting blue eyes, standing at the other side of the room.

Her true love.

He was looking at her, too, with an almost-worshipping look. Finally, she reached him - as he pulled her towards him.

"You look beautiful, Nadeshiko."
