Play
The play depicted a blackmail to a man named Hachirou. Hachirou fell in love with a woman of a higher station, but his feelings were unreciprocated. While walking through a forest, he met a tree spirit, who in exchange for a favor, gave him the script to a play. Hachirou used it to win the hearts of both the lady and the Empire. A man who knew Hachirou didn't write his masterpiece, blackmailed him and forced Hiro to produce plays that were fed to him.
