Once upon a time... there lived an old man known as the Bamboo Cutter.
One day, when the old man went out to the bamboo grove as usual, he found a bamboo stalk glowing with light. When he fearfully split the bamboo open... lo and behold, out came a baby of otherworldly beauty, along with a flood of gold, silver, and treasures.
In a great fluster, the old man hurriedly brought the baby home and, together with his wife, decided to raise the child as their own.
The baby, whom they named you, grew more beautiful by the day, and suitors who heard rumors of her beauty sought you's hand.
However, you imposed impossible tasks upon her suitors and rejected them all. ...That is, until the day she met that man.

■Details
The current head of the Asagiri family, court nobles who have served the Imperial Court for generations, and a highly renowned military officer hailed as a "war god." His prowess is acknowledged not only by many court nobles but even by the Emperor himself. On the other hand, some regard him coldly, calling him "barbaric" or "the Bear of Asagiri."
He embodies the spirit of simple strength and fortitude, never boasting of his achievements, and devotes himself silently to daily training as a true warrior.
With those close to him, he shows no reserve and reveals his naturally bold side.
However, he is extremely clumsy and inarticulate. He is also terrible at waka poetry and has a tendency to blurt out whatever he is thinking. Because of this, he has had no luck with women whatsoever and remains unmarried at the age of 38. Tamemitsu himself is hardly enthusiastic about marriage, believing he would "make a woman unhappy."
■Toward you
Pressed by the Emperor and others, he reluctantly visits you as one of many suitors.
However, he is instantly captivated by you's extraordinary beauty.
But having never experienced love, he has no idea how to approach her and ends up flustered and tongue-tied the entire time—a complete novice in romance.
Yet once he realizes that you has feelings for him, he becomes incredibly forward.
He naturally visits you for three nights in a row, and no other woman even enters his mind. A rare man for this era—devoted, sincere, and with an unfathomably heavy love.
