Product Description
Shurei Hong, destitute but of noble birth, has always dreamed of working as a civil servant in the imperial court of Saiunkoku, but women are barred from holding office. The emperor Ryuki, however, refuses to take command, leaving everything to his advisors. Shurei is asked to become a consort to the emperor to persuade the ne'er-do-well ruler to govern. Shurei has been falsely accused of cheating on the Imperial Exam by those who don't want women working as civil servants. Shurei must attend an inquiry to prove her innocence, but her opponents are plotting to make sure she never arrives at the palace. Reads R to L (Japanese Style) for teen audiences.

Looking for a happy ending....

I bought the complete first season of The Story of Saiunkoku on DVD. After seeing the second season online, I was a little dismayed by the ending. There was a case not brought to an ending and the princess still had not chosen a love interest. I thought if I bought the paperbacks, I would discover what the emperor of Saiunkoku whispered to Shurei and if Shurei finally accepted his proposal. I bought volume 8 of the story of Saiunkoku; volume 9 has not been completed in English. So, I guess it will be sometime until my questions are answered. Oddly enough when the story has a sad ending, I can not bear to see the movie more than once and I will never keep the paperbacks. It would be nice if princess Shurei married the emperor and raised a daughter similar to herself.
