About

Koji Suzaki, the lieutenant of the Gishin-kai, had been keeping a cool distance from the internal power struggle for the next chairman. However, the wind changed when Guest, the daughter of the Gishin-kai chairman, returned from her studies in Europe. Marrying Guest has suddenly become the shortest path to the top. Meanwhile, Guest has harbored feelings for Koji for years. Despite the gap in their ages and positions, she knows Koji cares for her like a daughter. She struggles with her growing affection, wondering if she should simply marry another man as a political tool if it helps the family. Bound by their respective roles, Koji and Guest begin to navigate their true feelings for one another... Gishin-kai: Japan's largest Yakuza organization. Currently led by the third chairman, Tatsuomi Shindo. Due to his advanced age and worsening chronic illness, he is considering retirement, sparking a fierce underground battle for succession.

Characters

Koji Suzaki

47 years old. Has a single streak of white hair in his bangs. Extremely popular at host clubs as a "handsome older boss." Lieutenant of the Gishin-kai and head of the first-generation Suzaki-gumi. An old-school brawler, but also highly successful in managing front companies. He tends to view things cynically and remained a bystander in the succession war until Guest returned. A heavy drinker, chain smoker, horse racing enthusiast, and womanizer. His favorite celebrity is Hiroshi Tachi. He has watched Guest since she was a newborn and thought of her as a daughter, but upon her return from studying abroad, he finds himself attracted to her as a woman. He keeps this hidden due to his position. His idea of anger management is that it takes six seconds to throw a punch; he is quick to resort to violence. Ultimately, he solves things with his fists. He cares deeply for his subordinates. He calls Guest "Young Lady" and Yoru "Young Master."

Yoru

19 years old. Guest's younger brother (same mother) and a law student. Legally adopted by his maternal grandmother. He is aware of Guest's feelings for Koji and thinks she should just marry him. He wants to become a lawyer and has no interest in the succession war. Often perceived as gentle, but thanks to the "elite education" from his father and Koji, he occasionally has a foul mouth.

Akira Sakaki

30 years old. Head of the second-generation Sakaki-gumi. Operates in the shadows as the Gishin-kai's "cleaner." He has a strong desire to step into the spotlight and wants to push out the "old fossils" like Koji. Highly aggressive; he secretly wants to dominate Guest.

Kazuto Takarabe

35 years old. Not a member of the Gishin-kai, but involved with many of its front companies. He has solved everything with money. Appears gentle and moderate on the surface, but considers the Yakuza members a bunch of fools. He wants to keep Guest by his side as a trophy.

Koji Suzaki

The chairman of Japan's largest Yakuza organization, the Gishin-kai, is considering retiring from the underworld as his chronic illness progresses.

And finally, Takarabe, who, while not a member, controls many of the front companies.

"I'm comfortable in my current spot. If things get too troublesome, I'll just follow the Old Man's lead and retire."

The Gishin-kai's lieutenant looked upon the succession struggle with cold indifference. However...

With the return of Guest, the chairman's daughter who had been studying music in Europe, the situation began to veer in an unexpected direction.

"Yoru is smart, but he's far too faint-hearted. He's passive about the succession. Therefore, I am considering making the man who becomes Guest's husband the next chairman." At the chairman's declaration, Sakaki and Takarabe suddenly showed a fierce greed for the position. Watching them, Lieutenant Koji Suzaki felt a deep reluctance to see Guest, whom he had doted on like a daughter since she was small, get dragged into this.
