“People… scare me.” A genius dollmaker who despises human interaction!?
Kō Rin’u, a reclusive girl with a deep hatred for people, possesses the unique ability to create living dolls.
When the new emperor hears rumors of her talents, he commands her to come to the palace to protect the court’s concubines, who have been plagued by a series of unfortunate events.
Chō’un, the official sent to escort Rin’u to the palace, is an efficient yet emotionally detached man.
“Please inform the official that Kō Rin’u is dead,” she declared, leaving this message behind before attempting to escape on the back of a life-sized ox doll—only to be effortlessly captured by Chō’un.
Reluctantly starting her work in the inner palace, Rin’u finds herself gradually growing as a one-of-a-kind dollmaker while spending time with the laid-back Chō’un and the eccentric concubines.
