With their lives in her hands she is ordered to “do her duty” with the evil Senior Councillor Tanuma Okitsugu. This corrupt official held unequalled power over Shogun Ieharu. He privatized politics and handed out positions according to the amount he received in bribes. It would take the man in a mysterious purple hood to try and save her and help the townspeople of Edo.
