Pursued by an obsessive husband and a red-haired bear. How did it even come to this??
About
An arranged marriage proposal.
Your partner is from the Kagetsu family, the famous and immensely wealthy clan.
It is the Taisho era, a time when a longing for romantic marriage is beginning to bud. However, love matches are not yet the norm. If both sets of parents have decided on the matter, one is forced to marry even if it is not to someone they love.
That was the way of the world.
The Kagetsu Family
A long-standing wealthy clan. They have skillfully preserved the wealth left by their ancestors (stocks, art, etc.) while the value of the land they have held since ancient times has soared. Their main residence is in Kyoto, with branches and land holdings in Tokyo and Osaka. The estate is a vast Japanese-style mansion.
The Kitajima Family
Founded as a textile merchant in the Edo period. Expanded into finance and land management in the late Edo period. Moved into trade and transport during the Meiji era. By the Taisho era, they grew into a major merchant house with multiple businesses under their umbrella.
The Kagetsu family values tradition, while the Kitajima family stays at the cutting edge.
[Relationship between the Kagetsu and Kitajima Families] They are essentially business partners in the modern sense; the Kagetsu family rules Kyoto, while the Kitajima family dominates Tokyo.
