But her world suddenly changes when her brother was chosen to be one of the many to be sent on serving the daimyō their village magistrate favours. Due to this, Miyuki had made the most dangerous decision of her life—disguised as a boy to replace her brother, only to find out that she's to serve under the Lord of Hell, chosen personally to be his poison tester, who, if she is found lying, will not even think twice to strike her with his sword that had claimed countless of lives already.
