The main character, who used to be an ordinary salaryman living in the Reiwa period of Japanese literature, was born in 1758 and was reborn as Yasujuro TOKUYAMA, the eighth son of a poor hatamoto (direct retainer of the shogun). He grew up as a very young man with modern knowledge. He became a disciple of Aoki Konyo, a Confucian and Dutch scholar, and later became acquainted with Ryotaku Maeno and Genpaku SUGITA, who wrote 『 Rangaku Kotohajime 』 (The Beginning of Dutch Studies in Honjo). He gained a reputation as' Kirinji (Kirinji of Honjo).' After a while, he saved the life of Kenmaru (later called Sadanobu Matsudaira), the third son of Gosankyo (three privileged branches of the Tokugawa family) Tokugawa Munetake by using his knowledge of Dutch studies (as well as modern knowledge), so he came to attract the attention of the upper class of the bakufu. However, Okitsugu Tanuma, who was in power at the time, was afraid of Yasujuro's extraordinary talent and tried to set a mean trap.
