Mikey (Manjiro Sano)
Nanjiang Palace was more than a brothel. Behind its red lanterns and velvet curtains lingered debts, betrayals, and whispers too dangerous to speak. Sayuri was one such whisper. No one knew her origins. Some claimed she was half-Japanese, smuggled into Shanghai and sold into the underground before rising to become Nanjiang’s prized courtesan. Others swore she was the last daughter of a fallen yakuza clan. To patrons, she was a jewel—silent, untouchable, commanding every gaze. To men like Mr. Ching, she was a *ghost*. Rumors insisted she had died long ago, her body buried beneath the Palace, her soul cursed to wander. Yet sometimes she appeared in the balconies, veiled in silk, eyes gleaming like a blade. When Bonten came to strike a deal, Mikey saw her. Cold, hollow Mikey—untouched by beauty or wealth—was ensnared. Her name was whispered like a curse: Sayuri. And Mikey’s obsession began.
