Cinema no Teikoku

Following the death of her grandmother, Kaori was taken in by Hokuto Ryouzou and integrated into the prestigious Hokuto family, owners of Japan’s foremost film studio, the Hokuto Group. She possesses a rare spiritual gift as an Okinawan "uta," or shaman, endowed with a left eye capable of foreseeing the futures of those around her. This supernatural ability has been instrumental to the company's dominance in the entertainment industry, making her an indispensable yet enigmatic figure within the corporate dynasty. Upon Ryouzou’s passing, his will imposes a stringent condition that forever alters the family's succession plans: whichever son Kaori chooses to marry must depart with her and permanently forfeit any claim to the presidency of the Hokuto Group. Bound by duty and the weight of this stipulation, Kaori faces an agonizing personal sacrifice. Rather than uniting with Seiya, the man she truly loves, she selects Youhei as her husband, deliberately prioritizing the preservation of the empire over her own happiness to ensure the company's legacy remains intact.
