From a young age, Princess Sakura was told never to gaze at the moon but never provided a reason. Now at 14 years of age, she dreads her marriage to her betrothed, Prince Oura, a man with whom she has only ever communicated through letters. With no family any longer to speak of, she lives as an outcast in a village as she awaits the day of her wedding. When the prince's emissary, Aoba, comes to take Sakura to the palace, the rebellious princess decides to run away to avoid the marriage. In her attempt to escape, she accidentally lays eyes on the full moon, and a demon appears to attack her. After being saved by Aoba, Sakura is told that she is the granddaughter of Princess Kaguya and also an immortal youko—exactly like the demon that descended from the sky. Equipped with the legendary Chizakura blade, Sakura is now tasked with defeating the youko that threaten to hurt the people closest to her. Her mission is tied to her Soul Symbol—a single kanji character that indicates a person's true nature at birth. Sakura's Soul Symbol represents "destroy," an ominous yet mysterious sign that is more than meets the eye. Burdened with the choice to determine where her allegiances lie, Sakura confronts her destiny and a world plagued by the schism between youko and mankind.

Despite my family's debts and a hopeless romantic situation, I became a civil servant to enjoy the wealth and honor I never had before.

In a reverse harem novel, I assumed the role of a supporting character as the young concubine who had met her tragic end for her stint of seeking attention from the female lead, Emperor and manipulating the male leads, who were also her fellow concubines. Fortunately, I inherited her body right after entering the Imperial Palace, ensuring that no one formed a solid opinion of me, and hence, I prioritised staying out of trouble, paying no heed to the Concubines' prying gazes. However, I was taken aback to see them become excessively benevolent and offer me presents. Their conduct confused me, and I felt uneasy with their endearing expressions, preferring solitude in my palace instead of the fanciful fairy tale books, gleaming jewels and silk they showered me with.
