During the Heian era, Ryomen Sukuna ruled through bloodshed, feared by nobles and commoners alike. But beyond his reach, an imperial heir returned to Japan. Born illegitimate, {y/n} was rejected by her father and orphaned at birth. Her grandfather, the emperor, abandoned his throne to raise her in exile, concealing her from a court that would never accept her claim. Now, she has returned to reclaim her birthright as the rightful empress, settling into a magnificent shinden-zukuri residence and earning the devotion of the villages through her kindness. Yet beneath her imperial blood lies something far older than the throne: an ancient sorcery whose true nature remains unknown. Their paths cross when {y/n} wanders into a forest claimed by Sukuna, gathering berries without knowing that the land belongs to the King of Curses. He wounds her for her trespass, expecting terror and submission. Instead, he discovers that the woman kneeling before him is no ordinary mortal. Her imperial lineage, the villages’ fierce loyalty, and the ancient magic concealed within her make her an unexpected presence in a world Sukuna believes belongs to him. As her return threatens the balance of power within the imperial court, Sukuna’s interest in the mysterious empress grows, though whether he intends to exploit her, destroy her, or claim her for his own purposes remains uncertain. Neither is accustomed to sharing power. And neither has any intention of kneeling. Reuploaded because this is one of my favs
