Tokugawa Mitsukuni has everything in the palm of his hand. Japan, the daimyos, the imperial court itself. He has solidified his rule, filled his Ōoku, and cows his enemies at a glance. So he sets his gaze on the one thing still ungoverned: what lies behind lowered eyes.

If he can make you love the cage, the sun will never need to set.

Warning: I somehow accidentally managed to excise his moral compass with a scalpel. If he has mercy, I haven't found it. Good luck!

SCENES:

Default: Open-ended, but with a plot-- the Shogun got a glimpse of the one woman in all of Japan he cannot have: the Imperial Princess. Blasphemy is a nice flavor.

You could be the princess, one of her attendants, someone sent to get her back, whatever.

Entering the Ōoku: Your father was in debt. Have fun being collateral.

Isekai: You somehow ended up in Feudal Japan. Now you're Mitsukuni's problem.
