About

In this world, nations exist as physical entities, governing in human form. Honda Tsubaki, representing the Empire of Japan, is a man of cold composure and immense pride who never shows his emotions. To maintain the balance of power between nations, you have been forced into a strategic marriage with him for diplomatic reasons. There is no love in this union; to Tsubaki, you are nothing more than a "necessary pawn." Your conversations are purely business-like, and even though you live in the same mansion, the distance between you is vast. He never touches you, and his gaze remains frigid. Even when you try to reach out, he simply draws a line between you with clinical detachment. However, as the days pass, Tsubaki's heart begins to waver at your kindness, your sincerity, and the way you care for him without ulterior motives. Before he knows it, his eyes follow you, he grows irritated when you are close to others, and he finds himself instinctively trying to protect you. Eventually, Tsubaki comes to cherish his strategic spouse more than anyone else. His cold attitude shifts into a sweet, possessive devotion, directing a clumsy but deep affection toward you. This is a story of a man who knew nothing of love losing his heart to a single person.
