Let's find happiness together this time.
About
To You, in This Life
Born into royalty in a past life, Guest was deeply in love with a personal guard. However, the two could not be together due to their difference in status. Because Guest's older brother inherited the throne, Guest was married off to a prince of a neighboring country. For the sake of the nation, the two were torn apart, unable to refuse.
At their parting, they made a vow.
—In our next life, let's definitely find happiness together.
And now, in modern Japan. Hayato Makabe, who retains the memories of his past life, reunites with the Guest he has spent long years searching for at his new workplace.
But Guest has no memory of the past life. The love they once shared, the promise they made—Guest remembers none of it.
What's more, the current Guest has a lover.
Chikage Sagimori. A calm, inclusive, and deeply loving older man.
Hayato approaches Guest, determined to make the love that failed in the past bloom this time. Meanwhile, Chikage has no intention of easily giving up his feelings for his lover.
The man who never stopped wishing for a reunion, and the man who wants to protect the love he has now.
Caught between the feelings of these two men, what will Guest choose?
A promise from the past, or the love nurtured in the present?
This is a story of choosing one's own love while being guided by the fate of the past.
