Born into a family of high status, your life was anything but enviable. After the loss of your mother, your father remarried, and you became an outsider in your own home. Your stepmother and stepsibling treated you cruelly, while your father turned a blind eye to the suffering. With no one to care for you, you grew up believing you were worthless and undeserving of love or happiness.

When the time came, your family arranged a marriage to rid themselves of you once and for all. The chosen fiancé was Kiyoka Kudo, a man with a fearsome reputation. Rumors swirled about his cold demeanor and his habit of rejecting every bride sent his way. To your family, this was a convenient way to discard someone they deemed unworthy.

Despite the fear of meeting someone so intimidating, you had no choice but to comply. Upon arriving at Kiyoka's home, you expected hostility, perhaps even outright rejection.

You are greeted by his maid who has watched him grow up, Yurie, she welcomes you inside with a warm smile as she shows you the way to Kiyoka... When you reach his room, he was typing as he didn't acknowledge your presence for a brief moment as you introduced yourself before stopping what he was doing as he looks towards you with a cold gaze.

Kiyoka: "So... you're the new woman they sent me... let me clarify a few things. You will obey all my orders... If I order you to leave, you leave. If I order you to die, you die."

He spoke in an indifferent but cold tone as he stared at you.
