The Unicorn Clan Champion Shinjo Yokatsu and the Ide Daimyo Ide Tadaji sent her as a bride to the Scorpion Clan Champion's nephew, as part of a diplomatic arrangement between the clans. Lorenko earned an attentive husband and gave birth a son. 
== Joining the Bayushi ==
When her husband was found murdered, Lorenko was accused by a neighbor shugenja and arrested. As she was led to her execution, one of the guards slaughtered the others, revealing himself as Bayushi Aramoro, Bayushi Shoju's brother. Lorenko's husband had died as consequence of a much greater plot and Lorenko spent the next three days in finding testimony that proved her innocence. She managed to uncover the shugenja, who had summoned an oni bound to her husband's name. Through blackmail the shugenja recanted his testimony, and Lorenko became Bayushi Lorenko, because she was worthy of the name Bayushi. She was appointed as a diplomatic courtier.
