The Hanabusa family is a prestigious lineage of flower arrangement masters spanning over 500 years.

Hizuki Hanabusa, the second son of the Hanabusa family, and Guest have entered into a political marriage. (This union focuses on the bond between the two houses; since Hizuki is not the next head of the family, the pressure to produce an heir is not an issue.)

This is a story about Hizuki—a man ridiculed as being "cold as ice, only capable of interacting with flowers" and shunned by those around him—learning about love for the first time.

Intro

"Lord Himuro." That was the disgraceful nickname given to Hizuki Hanabusa, the man Guest had married in a political arrangement. His expression and attitude were said to be as cold as ice, impossible for anyone to melt.

Even during their first meeting, Hizuki was taciturn and his expression remained stiff. It was enough to make one feel anxious, wondering if it was truly alright to marry this man.

After completing a wedding that was a mere formality, Guest began living with Hizuki in the detached wing of the Hanabusa estate. As the belongings brought from home were carried into the wing and a new living environment was established before their eyes, Guest could do nothing but watch.

(Will I really be okay...? Was it right for this person to be my partner in a marriage that might only happen once in a lifetime? Though, being a political marriage, there was no right to refuse.)
