Lady Shogun and her 3,000 Male Imperial Concubines

the word ooku originated in the edo period of japan it was similar to the harem of ancient chinese empress a place where the women who served the generals lived the movie i'm going to share with you today takes place in a japanese fictional dynasty where the status of men and women are reversed the ladies shogun and her men let's see how the unique and calmly one-of-a-kind male version of imperial concubines conquered the handsome and indifferent queen of course my focus is definitely not on the handsome man in the harem at the beginning of the 18th century during the rule of the tokugawa shogunate a disease called red-faced herpes spread in japan and all the patients were male it was very difficult to treat and the number of males deaths continued to rise causing a serious gender imbalance in japan men were only a quarter of the population of women so women gradually replaced the original men's status from state officials to civilians who were carrying out heavy labor had become women women were responsible for making money to support their families while men who were delicate and rare were responsible for being beautiful and selling their seeds to having women pregnant in this era men were so rare that the daughters of many poor families cannot afford to marry men but the family line must continue therefore many families with sons would let their sons make money with their seeds so all the prostitutes of this era were men in the family of kimoto samurai mizuno even though they were living in poverty the mother never let his son unochin sell his body to make money therefore unochin was grateful and respectful to his mother from the bottom of his heart the 19 year old young samurai was handsome and calmly and was the mr mcdreamy sought after many women he was completely different from those men who like to play with perfumes and cosmetics he was one of the few real samurai who adored swanmanship genuinely in addition to being a talented person the most important reason for unochine's popularity was his kindness he often sold seeds for some older single and childless old women free of charge people called him child courier a grown-up girl should get married and an adult male should get a wife with regard to no shins being a volunteer his mother could turn a blind eye on him but he would not allow his son to mess around with his marriage unochin was so popular for his kind behaviors that a continuous stream of rich girls came to make marriage proposals but he refused them all because the person he liked was his childhood sweetheart onobu but onobu was the daughter of a wealthy businessman while unushing himself was just a poor and inferior samurai so even though the two admired each other we know she never dared to put his heart out on the line due to the large gap between the two families he didn't want to be troubled by the bitter love anymore and didn't want to be forced to marry neither so he decided to work at oaku on the one hand it could make onobu give upon him and on the other hand it could also relieve family financial pressure upon hearing the news onobo desperately prevented wunoshin from leaving after entering the oaku the relationship between the two would really be broken but we know she made up his mind not to be a burden on onobu he left a kiss to commemorate this unsuccessful love affair and then left onobu behind after arriving at the oaku uno shin officially became a member of the harem as a handyman it's not easy for a powerless poor man to become a concubine of valetti shogun as a newcomer we know she must start from the bottom where there are people there is struggle men intrigue and fight just as much as women do fortunately the current lady shogun was only seven years old so there would be no jealous contest in oaku for the time being but bullying newcomers was an ancient tradition regardless of dynasties and regions unoching who was too elegantly dressed was ridiculed by a group of [ __ ] men with his thick leg hair and ugly hairstyle a soldier could be killed but his hairstyle would never be messed up because of the sunrise elephant emblem was being insulted unoching quickly subdued them with a backhand grapple offended his peers he was targeted everywhere what's more someone thought he was pretty and gullible at night and wanted to vent their desires on him as the saying goes never judge a book by its cover unochin's sharp swordmanship was the opposite of his look he knocked back those people easily the next day a kind colleague told him that this kind of thing was very common at oaku the lady shogun was only seven years old and there were no women so everyone could only satisfy their needs internally if you are lucky enough to have a good relationship with a high-ranking male concubine you're likely to become a powerful man unochine was very angry when he heard this there were so many women in the idol city who worried about marrying a husband while so many men at oaku were willing to be inferior to others for the favor of the lady shogun the mansions burst with wine and meat the poor died frozen on the road this kind of behavior was such a waste of life isn't it good to save their energy to spare for women who need offspring one day when we know shin who cared about women in the world was cleaning heard the sound of fighting in the dojo next door through the crack in the door he saw a group of samurai competing born into a family of martial arts he couldn't help wielding a broom at this time a lord whose status was equal to a queen saw his extraordinary skill and liked him very much so he proposed to compete at the dojo the person competed with munozin was the strongest in martial arts at oaku everyone thought that unochine would definitely lose but he who grew up studying martial arts as a child easily saw rival's flaws and one with one blow after this battle unoching gained a lot of fame and a lot of fans however his rival was despised by the lord and found unochine to fight again for honor but he lost once again he was so arrogant that he actually committed suicide on the spot in the beginning unochine just wanted to exchange martial arts skills with people who had the same hobby he had no intention of striving for the lord's favor and killing anyone this incident made him be aware of the darkness of oaku if someone as beautiful and capable as his rival ended up so miserably what would happen to him soon the seven-year-old lady shogun died and the post of shogun was succeeded by the resolute and vigorous yoshimune tokugawa she made every effort to govern the country and never be extravagant so she did not disband the former shogun's owaku but inherited it the upright lady shogun was as uncomfortable with the dirty scenes at oaku as unoshi she first dismissed the extravagant and ostentatious female officials to demonstrate her royal pristage then she made a private visit to fill the sentiments of the people she found that men were still living under dire circumstances pretty men had to sell his body in the brothels while the sick man could only wait to die after returning to the palace the shogun thought that the country was in need of reform but the female officials around her urged her to make love with her concubines as soon as possible because air was also a part of the political affairs at the same time because of onoshin's outstanding performance the lord decided to upgrade him to a concubine to participate in the service for the new shogun on the day of the lady shogun's arrival at oaku all the concubines in the harem were all dressed up beautifully all kinds of handsome men were dressed up with colorful and beautiful clothes the oil could suddenly turn into a beautiful and prosperous garden a folk saying goes you have to get covered in rouge if you want to get pretty those fancy men had no masculinity but were rather repulsive so unochine dressed in elegant black clothes quickly won the lady shogun's favor but it was all actually a conspiracy of the lord there was a reason why he as a queen gave newcomers the chance to go to bed with the shogun for the first time the current lady shogun was still a virgin as usual the man who took the lady shogun's virginity was a hero who helped her enlighten herself but he was also a criminal who hurt the lady shogun after the first night this man would be executed secretly now that the lady shogun had ordered him to sleep with her we know she had no way out fortunately after his death his family would receive a large amount of pension which could be regarded as a comfort to him before going to bed he bathed and changed his clothes cleaned his face and put on makeup a touch of crimson smeared the corner of his eyes which reaped the elegance by glancing up who would be willing to kill such a beautiful man after a night of joy of course the lady shogun wouldn't as well in fact she didn't know such a rule before she selected him because she had a good impression of unoshin when the two met in order to alleviate to the weird atmosphere she took the initiative to tell unoshin that her nickname was onobu it was onobu maybe it was god's pity for him that before he died he could still have a beautiful night with a lady shogun of the same name as his beloved unochin felt he had no regrets in his life so he went effortlessly in bed on that night the lady shogun was pleased as well one night later unochie was dragged to the execution ground and was going to be beheaded his families were very sad when they learned about his death one day onobu paid homage to her beloved at unochin's tomb when she was holding back her tears unochine suddenly appeared behind her it turned out that the lady shogun was soft-hearted at the critical moment that day she ordered someone to save unoshin but still declared that he was dead and then released him out of the oaku to live in another identity the young couple who had gone through ups and downs finally let go of their scruples and lived happily together and the lady shogun had long been unaccustomed to the darkness and extravagance of the oaku in order to reduce the financial crisis and govern the country well she departed all the handsome men from oaku instead of wasting time at oaku it is better for them to go out and live a free and happy life the movie ends right here have you all fallen under the valiant demeanor of the lady shogun just like me whether it's a masculine vibe or the feminine charm the actor shibasaki yuki have performed very well no extra movements or expressions were seen in her performance she was calm and courageous neat and nimble you can feel the imperial spirit with just one glance and she always had the people in her mind not to be tempted by beauty it seems that people who are devoted to their careers whether they're men or women are very attractive unexpectedly i was originally looking forward to watching a film filled with pretty boys but was attracted by the lady shogun in the end generally speaking the overall setting of this movie is attractive and the costumes and props are also very delicate and beautiful it not only inherits the exquisite production of japanese movies but also has novel settings and a variety of unique beautiful men it is a movie that is very suitable for girls to watch before going to bed that's all for our movie sharing today i'm langjang please follow johnson see you next time
