if you don't know this anime then here is a summary of it(from wikipedia):
Overview- The story, which takes place in the fictional medieval empire of Saiunkoku, follows the adventures of Sh¨±rei K¨­, a descendant of a noble family that has fallen on hard times.

Her father works as a librarian in the Imperial palace, a post which offers prestige and respect, but little compensation. Sh¨±rei teaches in the temple school and works odd jobs to make ends meet, but her dream is to pass the imperial examinations and take a post in government, a path forbidden to women.

Sh¨±rei's plans come to an abrupt halt when the Emperor's Grand Advisor makes a startling offer, which is joining the imperial household for six months as the young Emperor's consort, and teach the Emperor to be a responsible ruler. If she succeeds, the financial reward will be great.

The story details Sh¨±rei's growing relationships with the Emperor and other members of the court, the intrigues that surround imperial politics, and her commitment to better herself and her country.


Setting- According to legend, Saiunkoku was once infested by demons who threw the country into turmoil and made the people miserable. A brave young warrior named S¨­ Gen gathered together the eight Enlightened Sages of Colour and drove away the demons.

S¨­ Gen then forged the nation of Saiunkoku and became its first emperor. After S¨­ Gen's death, the eight sages disappeared, but according to legend they still exist among the people. A beautiful shrine was built for the Eight Coloured Sages; it still stands within the Imperial City.

Saiunkoku had always been divided into eight distinct provinces named after colours of the rainbow. Six hundred years ago, the Emperor commanded that the ruling family of each province change their names to match the province they ruled. Commoners were forbidden to share the same family names as nobles.


Provinces and ruling families- Each province in Saiunkoku is ruled by a noble family of the same name. All eight provinces and families are named after colors.

Ran (Ë{, Ran?, Blue) ¡ª The most powerful clan in Saiunkoku, although they play a dormant role in the political issues of the country.
K¨­ (¼t, K¨­?, Red) ¡ª Equal power to that of the Ran clan. Along with the Ran clan, the K¨­ clan is known to be the 'highest of nobility'.
Heki (±Ì, Heki?, Green)
K¨­ (»Æ, K¨­/Ki?, Yellow) ¡ª Although pronounced the same as the 'Red' (¼t) clan, the kanji (»Æ) means 'yellow'.
Haku (°×, Haku ?, White)
Koku (ü\, Koku ?, Black)
Sa (²è, Sa?, Brown) ¡ª Known as the least distinguished clan in Saiunkoku, main estate in the Sa Province.
Shi (×Ï, Shi?, Purple) ¡ª The family of the Emperor
