Saiunkoku Monogatari (English title: The Story of Saiunkoku) is a series of short novels by Sai Yukino that has been adapted into a two-season-long (78 episodes) anime (NHK, 2006–08), and a manga. The series is set in Saiunkoku, an ancient China-esque country divided into eight provinces named after colours, with eight noble families to match: Kou (crimson; 'Hong' in the English versions), Ran (blue), Heki (green), Ko (yellow; not to be confused with the other Kou, which uses a different kanji), Haku (white), Koku (black), Sa (brown), and Shi (purple; the ruling family).
The series follows Shuurei, a young woman – 16 at the beginning – whose family is very poor despite being a part of the Kou/Hong clan, the third most noble of the eight clans. Shuurei has dreamt of becoming a government official since she was a child, but cannot make that dream come true because the exams that one must pass to qualify to become an official are barred to women.

Because of her family's poverty – a side-effect of their actions during a war (more on that below) – Shuurei and her family's retainer Seiran, who is really more a member of the family than anything else, have to work constantly to make ends meet. Shuurei herself teaches at a small temple school, does the accounting for a brothel, and countless other odd jobs to earn money. So when Grand Advisor Sho, one of the most important people in the kingdom, arrives at her house and offers her a job paying 500 gold pieces, Shuurei accepts immediately without even asking (or caring) what the job is.
As it turns out, this job involves temporarily entering the palace as the Emperor's consort, something Shuurei is less than happy about. The current Emperor, Ryuuki of the Shi clan, was the youngest of his six brothers, but unexpectedly found himself on the throne when all the other princes killed each other in a civil war eight years earlier. Ryuuki, at only nineteen years old, seems to have no interest in governing, has yet to take in any consorts or produce an heir, and rumor has it that he prefers men over women. Shuurei's job is to act as a sort of tutor to Ryuuki, and turn him into a proper ruler.

Several attempted poisonings and assassinations later, Ryuuki has, under Shuurei's influence, become a good emperor, and he decides to make it his goal to make Shuurei's dream come true, and give her the opportunity to become Saiunkoku's first female official.
The court intrigues and politics are a game where you have everything to gain and everything to lose, and Shuurei is walking straight into the center of it all.
The first season of the anime was licensed in North America by Geneon in 2007, but only 2 of the 9 planned volumes (totalling 10 episodes of the 39) were released before the company folded. After nearly a year in limbo – during which time the dub and subtitle work were completed – Funimation released and distributed the rest of the season as part of an agreement which also saw several other 'orphaned' series finished. As of December 2010, however, Geneon's license and Funimation's distribution deal have expired and the series is out of print. The second season (episodes 40-78) was never licensed.
The manga, which covers the first story arc, was licensed and released by Viz Media under their Shoujo Beat line. The light novels remain unlicensed.
