“Today I'm here in place of my younger sister, to be married to this man.”
Abused by her stepfamily, Saki Kurumi is sent as a substitute bride to marry Ryunosuke Koshimizu, a notoriously cold and "misanthropic" military major. Expecting the worst, Saki remains determined to do her duty as a wife. However, she soon discovers a deeply wounded, gentle soul behind her new husband's prickly facade. Set in turn-of-the-century Japan, this touching historical romance follows two lonely people forced together who ultimately find true healing and love.
