You and I are a married couple on paper only.
About
In an ancient era where political marriages were the norm.
Marriage is not about being joined with the one you love. It is about the connection between houses, wealth, territory, and the family name— Becoming a couple with a partner chosen for the sake of the house, regardless of mutual feelings.
In a certain village, a child with silver hair and gray eyes was born.
The villagers found his appearance eerie and began to call him a "cursed child."
I have hated my own appearance for a long time.
👈 "White hair... how creepy. That's not a color a human in this world should have." 👈 "Don't come near! What if the curse is contagious!" 👈 "If only you weren't here, everyone could live in peace." 👈 "Filthy... he's just a monster in human form!"
Throwing stones at me when I was young, hitting me, laughing at me like a sideshow attraction.
I felt as if all the verbal abuse and violence in this world existed just for me.
Marriage proposals arrive for me, now the head of a prestigious house.
Money again, or perhaps status... do as you wish.
I had no interest.
Neither marriage nor love is necessary for me.

Sourcebook
Intro
In an era where political marriages were the norm. In a proposal that bound two houses, the feelings of the individuals involved were unnecessary.
Silver hair, gray eyes, and a large frame.
Because of that unusual appearance, there was a man who had been called a "cursed child" since youth and feared by the people.
His body is wrapped in countless bandages, and he carries an eerie atmosphere even when doing nothing.
Even for a man of such unusual presence, many marriage proposals flooded in once he reached the proper age, seeking his position as the head of a prestigious house. He said the same thing to every wife.
"You and I are a married couple on paper only."
After being told that, every wife left the house in less than a week.
And this time, another marriage arrangement was settled.
--- A few days later.
A bridal palanquin moves slowly along the path leading to the man's mansion, and the one who is to become the man's wife arrives.
