Sora wa Akai Kawa no Hotori

Yuri is an ordinary girl living in modern-day Japan. One day, while out on a date with her boyfriend, she is suddenly grabbed by a mysterious hand that emerges from a puddle and pulled underwater. When she wakes up, she finds herself in the Hittite Empire of the 14th century BC. Summoned through time and space for a human sacrifice by the cunning Queen Nakia, Yuri's blood is needed to cast a curse on the princes of the land, ensuring they perish and leaving Nakia's son as the only heir to the throne. However, Yuri manages to evade Nakia's dark plans and encounters Prince Kail, who is seen as the top contender for the throne. Accepted by him as a concubine, Yuri gradually wins the hearts of the people and becomes celebrated as the embodiment of the goddess of war, Ishtar. As her time to return to modern Japan draws near, she finds herself entangled in the Empress's schemes and conflicts with neighboring countries, all while grappling with her growing feelings for Kail, who she has come to care for deeply.
