A young orphan girl named Yotori lost her parents and now works alone at a rural village shrine, living a strong and resilient life despite her small stature. Her life is defined by her deep affection for the Dragon God she regards as a father figure. Her world expands dramatically after she crosses paths with Toyokitsu, the son of the emperor who is a descendant of that same Dragon God. This encounter becomes a catalyst that causes Yotori to begin harboring a deep grudge within her own body. The story unfolds as a tale of both sorrow and tenderness, centered on the complex feelings and lingering resentments of the gods themselves.
