This old friend Aikawa is a Camel warrior whose family is not as good as Heizaemon. His daughter Ade also fell in love with Takasuke at first sight and named him not to marry.

​​On the other hand, Heizaemon and his wife Ajin have a flower-like only child named Alu, who is 20 years old and has not yet married. Father

thinks that the reason why this eldest lady hasn't married out yet is because the requirements for choosing a spouse are somewhat high, and she thinks so. The eldest lady

is not deeply involved in the world, and has a simple personality. She doesn't like the second and third sons of officials and officials. She fell in love with Ronin Shinsaburo who was visiting the book stand when the hydrangea was in full bloom.

However, Shin Saburo, a somewhat bookish ronin, is obviously not worthy of our eldest lady Alu in terms of family background. Coincidentally, Shin Saburo’s good friend happened to be Miss Alu’s private doctor, and because of his help, the two were able to meet again.

came and went, the young lady Alu and the ronin son Shinsaburo recognized each other.

Alu's mother, Hirazaemon's wife Ajin, had been frail and sickly, and died shortly after her husband came back from the city. Then, Aguo, her personal maid, had been ambitiously trying to become the new mistress of the Iijima family.

In order to achieve the goal of becoming the new hostess, A country designed to frame Alu. She was forced to move to Yanagishima, a separate hospital far away from Edo. She couldn't meet her sweetheart, so she died miserably because of lovesickness.

To be honest, the rhythm of the first episode was a bit slow, but the climax started from the second episode. After death, Alu became a ghost. Because she missed her sweetheart Shinsaburo very much, Ami, a maid with a peony lantern, would lead him to find him every night to comfort her suffering. Shinsaburo thinks that it was like this when he got along with Alu,

, but the picture his servant Banzo saw secretly was like this! The development of the plot behind

is bizarre and climaxes. The maid Aguo has become a villain in order to seize power, and Xiaosuke Xiaosuke embarks on a long road to chase the murderer in order to avenge the lord. What stories will happen between them?
