Wanted

Just came to mind right now. I forgot the title, not even sure if genre is bl but the setting was like edo Japan? At least the characters I can remember were 1 guy who works as a cop, 2 beauties ( black haired, blonde) that are brothers tho not blood-related; they are somehow part of a gang or at least connected with the underworld of that society.

The storyline consists of crime stories of why such crimes or events happened and gradually integrates with the storyline of the characters I mentioned. If I’m not mistaken, I think those two brothers are assassins.

One story I could remember from this series is (SPOILER ALERT) that a famous flower arranger willingly chose to be hurt (in this case, lose the ability to walk) because her husband gets off on being depended on. They stayed together, albeit it’s rather uncomfortable personally.

At the time when flower arranger was gradually getting her fame and recognition, husband was seen with a young girl who’s pregnant I think or had a child, I forgot. I think it was because of this that our main characters, the cop (assisted by the black haired beauty at this time) was called to investigate potential cheating. Nah, it’s not cheating per se because husband sees struggling girl in dire straits so he “helped” (giving money, words of comfort, etc) her but did nothing else that connotes anything sexual.

It’s similar to one purposely getting someone sick so they could take care of them. In this case, husband just wants to be depended on, in a rather twisted sense. In fact, if I’m not mistaken, he married his wife because the wife heavily relied on him- she had no business, she wasn’t well-known as well as her school, she was in a tough spot. That mofo might have helped her but it wasn’t out of the goodness of his heart in my opinion.

I think title starts with A but I’m not sure. I remember pairing the cop and the black haired kimono clad beauty because the latter wanted a normal life, and he feels that with the cop or at least being with the cop.
