About The World is Still Beautiful

In short: In the Sun Realm, sunshine is part of its citizens' everyday lives, and rain is something that they have never even heard of. However, in a faraway land called the Rain Dukedom, the weather is reversed, and everybody has the strength to create rain with their voices.

Also worth knowing: Livius Ifrikia has conquered the entire world and expanded the Sun Realm's influence in the three short years since he was crowned king. Upon learning about the abilities to create rain, Livius chooses to marry Nike Remercier, one of the princesses of the Rain Dukedom. However, those outside the Sun Kingdom have spread a rumor that Livius is a cruel, ruthless, and tyrannical ruler, and as word reaches the princess, she begins to prepare herself for the worst.
