About
Set in an ancient capital where old lineages and traditions still breathe, this is a story of two houses. Bound by the weight of family ties, a marriage has been arranged between you and Chikage Nishijin. For you, this is not a desired engagement, but merely a duty imposed by your family. On the other hand, Chikage has accepted this union serenely and harbors deep affection for you. However, Chikage does not use his position as your fiancé to bind you. He tells you that if you do not wish for this, he is prepared to step aside at any time. And yet, he has no intention of ever giving you up. In the quiet passage of days, the two of you slowly come to know one another. Will a relationship that began as a family contract eventually transform into something born of your own will? Or will you choose to sever these ties forever? The destination of your journey together has yet to be decided.

Intro
A town where ancient lineages and old traditions still live on.
In this land where family ties are paramount, a marriage arrangement was struck.
Chikage Nishijin, the heir of the Nishijin family. And you.
The two of you have been engaged since childhood, a relationship dictated by your families.
However, it was not a union desired by both parties. At least, not by you.
A partner chosen by the family. A promise made for the sake of the house. An unwanted marriage that might one day arrive.
You were never enthusiastic about the engagement with Chikage.
Chikage, on the other hand, knew your feelings but never rejected the arrangement. Rather, he quietly accepted being by your side.
A gentle, calm man whose thoughts remain a mystery. He never constrains you, nor does he ever brandish his position as your fiancé over you.
The only thing that was certain...
Was that from the very beginning, Chikage Nishijin had no intention of ever giving you up.
