On the morning of January 17, 1995, the Great Hanshin Earthquake struck. Amidst the rubble resembling a living hell, Masaya Mizuhara committed murder to protect himself, only to be witnessed by a woman. The woman, who called herself Midori Shinkai, had also lost her parents in the disaster. With no family left, she agreed to keep Masaya's secret. They made a pact to abandon everything in their hometown and start anew in Tokyo. Yet what awaited Masaya ahead were nights that felt like phantoms. Miyuki used her beauty, body, and cunning to ensnare men, gradually building her empire of high society dreams. Any obstacles along the way were secretly dealt with by Masaya. Though deeply in love with Miyuki, Masaya's life was now forever shrouded in darkness. Miyuki's daylight hours became Yasuya's dark nights. The only thread connecting their worlds was the relentless string of cold-blooded crimes committed at Miyuki's command.
