Colourcloud Palace

Welcome to the official website for Colourcloud Palace with exclusive videos, show information, episodic guides, and photos.

Saiunkoku is a kingdom in the Orient, formed by eight houses named after a different colour.

Kou Shuurei, the poor daughter of an eminent but impoverished family, plays the erhu to help her family get by. Frustrated with the poverty around her, Shuurei wants to become a court official so she can help the poor. Unfortunately, being a girl, she is not allowed to sit for the imperial examinations.

However, Shuurei gets her break when she is invited to the palace to be the consort and tutor to the young Emperor, Shi Ryuuki, a weak ruler who is uninterested in courtly affairs and has a reputation for his love affairs with beautiful men.

But even with her beauty and brains, can Shuurei survive the scheming and politicking around her to turn Shi into a responsible ruler? Moreover, will she finally realise her dream of becoming a court official?

Colorcloud Palace is a romance period drama based on Sai YUKINO’s best-selling light novel series (2.8million copies sold to date), set in a fantasy world reminiscent of ancient China.
