The adaptation of the novel of the same name by Matsutarō Kawaguchi, serialized in "Weekly Bunshun," by Fujin Hachihiro, known for "The Young Boy's Change: Duel at the Dragon Cape." Directed by Issei Mori, known for "Tales of Horror: The Mosquito-Eating Bird," and photographed by Shōzō Honda, this is a court drama. The Kiritsubo, who was the sole recipient of the Emperor's favor, passed away shortly after giving birth to Hikaru Genji. Hikaru Genji became the object of admiration for the women of the court, and he was set to take Aoi no Ue, the daughter of the powerful minister, as his lawful wife, with a bright future ahead. However, Fujitsubo, who looked just like his mother, appeared before Genji. Despite knowing she was the Emperor's favorite, Genji's heart was aflame. Realizing this, his attendant, Kōkō, incited the royal consort connected to Fujitsubo to sneak Genji into Fujitsubo's chambers. Fujitsubo, lost in Genji's sweet embrace, struggled with guilt and shame. Annoyed at having her status overshadowed by Fujitsubo, Kōkiden no Emon took action along with her brother, the Right Minister, to bring about Fujitsubo's downfall. This scheme was overheard by the soon-to-be-consort of the crown prince, Oborozukiyo. Oborozukiyo, noticing Genji sneaking into Fujitsubo's mansion, forcibly drew him into the chambers and, generously offering her soft body, advised him not to approach Fujitsubo. Eventually, Fujitsubo gave birth to a prince as precious as a jewel. Watching the Emperor rejoice in ignorance brought darkness to Genji's heart. Seeking to clear his sorrows through outdoor revelry, Genji met the lovely princess Matsukura from Hitachi and momentarily found solace in her feminine hospitality. During this time, Aoi no Ue was expecting, waiting for her delivery. On the day of the Aoi Festival, Aoi no Ue's ox cart collided with the cart of the lady of Rokujō, breaking the shaft. In frustration and anger, the lady of Rokujō became a vengeful spirit and attacked Aoi no Ue. Aoi no Ue died giving birth to a son. Overcome with grief, Genji faced yet another loss when the Emperor passed away and the Suzaku Emperor ascended the throne. Genji began to find comfort in the growth of his daughter, Murasaki, and spent his days in solace. Now she had become the new Emperor's consort. Oborozukiyo could not forget her night with Genji. Boldly, she spotted Genji sneaking into Fujitsubo's mansion, whispered to him that approaching Fujitsubo would lead to his ruin, and drew him into the curtains. The Empress of Kōkiden discovered this liaison. Upon learning of it from the Empress, the Suzaku Emperor was enraged. Genji received notice from the new Emperor that he was to be relocated to Suma.
