Anime Description: Fushigi Yûgi - The Mysterious Play

Fifteen year old Yuuki Miaka with her friend Hongo Yui finds an old Chinese novel in a hidden section of the library. The girls are sucked into the book, "Shijin Tenchishou" (The Universe of the Four Gods), and find themselves in a world much like ancient China. Soon, Yui returns to the real world, and begins to read the book. What she is reading is what happens to Miaka Yúki!

Miaka Yúki finds her way to the palace of Konan, and the Emperor, Hotohori, asks her to become the Priestess of Suzaku [Suzaku no Miko]. Miaka Yúki agrees, and her quest is to find the Seven Seishi of Suzaku. If she succeeds, not only will she save the land, a wish will be granted to her. Incidentally, this same wish will be bestowed to whoever can read the book through to its entirity, but from the moment one starts reading, like Miaka Yúki, that person becomes a part of the story.

Eventually Yui is also sucked in, and Miaka Yúki's brother Keisuke reads the story. Yui becomes the Seiryuu no Miko at the request of Kutou's emperor and one of the Seiryuu Seishi, Nakago. Miaka Yúki falls in love with Suzaku Seishi Tamahome, but their relationship is constantly interrupted throughout the series. Yui also loves Tamahome, which creates some confusion...
