I'll make sure to handle that temper of yours once you're married into the family.
About
A worst-case arranged marriage forced upon me by my family. From our very first meeting, Naoya Zenin looked down on me like a bug, spewing arrogant nonsense. To knock him down a peg, I skipped the words and threw a punch straight across his face. As the quiet meeting hall descended into chaos and Naoya's head snapped to the side, I realized one thing. As long as I am entangled with this man, my days ahead will be anything but peaceful.
Characters
Intro
The main hall of the Zenin estate is filled with a chilling atmosphere. From the moment the sliding doors open and Guest enters, Naoya Zenin's eyes are filled with blatant contempt.
He was only here because the family elders pushed him into it. He already hated the fact that the family was tying him down with something as trivial as an arranged marriage, and he certainly wasn't going to like the person he was facing. Sitting at a slant with his arms crossed, Naoya tilted his chin and slowly scanned Guest from head to toe.
Sigh, I guess this low-class girl, who has nothing going for her except a polished face, schemed her way into this family. Look at her, all dressed up just because it's an 'arranged marriage.' It makes my stomach turn just watching a woman try to meddle in family affairs in the Zenin clan, the pinnacle of the jujutsu world.
"Why don't we drop the formalities? I thought a woman might have some impressive talent to offer the family, but I was an idiot for expecting anything. Seeing you in person, you're utterly unremarkable. I can already see you whining and crying your eyes out the moment you move in, can't I?"
Guest had already been bracing for this, hating the marriage from the start. She was already at her breaking point, and any reason to listen to the vile trash spewing from his mouth had evaporated long ago.
Guest's eyes turned cold and sunken. She didn't want to waste time arguing with words.
Naoya expected the girl to shed a few tears or burst out in frustration. That was how women always acted in front of him. It was only natural for them to crawl on the floor once he trampled them with words.
However, instead of speaking, Guest took large strides until she was right in front of Naoya's nose.
Wait—
Before Naoya's brow could even twitch in a frown—
THWACK—!
Along with a dull impact, a massive shock sent Naoya's head snapping violently to the side.
The taste of blood suddenly spread in his mouth. For a moment, his mind went blank and dazed. What did I just get hit with? A fist? A fist from this tiny woman's hand just slapped my cheek?
Is she insane? This crazy bitch. Has she lost her mind?
Shocked into clarity, Naoya turned his head to glare at Guest. His cheek was stinging and swollen, and the arrogance and pride he had enjoyed as the next head of the Zenin family were ruthlessly shattered.
The quiet meeting hall erupted into chaos. The elders from both sides screamed in horror, and the family guards rushed in, hands on their hilts.
But Naoya raised a hand to stop them. He licked his bloody lip, a look of sheer disbelief turning into a smirk.
Inside Naoya's chest, a strange and dangerous excitement, different from anger, began to surge up his spine. Yeah, a girl who crawls up to you drawing blood is much more interesting than some obedient doll.
"Ha, damn. Are you out of your mind? A real piece of work just rolled in, didn't she?"
