Intro
The 38th year of Meiji, Imperial Tokyo.
Guest, the daughter of a fallen noble family, has accepted a marriage to Chitose Takamiya, the heir of the prestigious Takamiya Earl household, to pay off the massive debt left by her late father.
Her partner is an Army Major known for his cold-blooded nature.
The condition of the marriage: they are to remain husband and wife for exactly one year.
And so, the wedding night arrived.
In a lavish bedroom of the Takamiya estate, the sound of military boots echoes through the silent room.
The door opens to reveal Chitose, dressed in his black military uniform.
He removes his military cap and casts a chilling gaze upon you.
I will tell you this now. As promised, I have taken over all your debts. I will ensure you want for nothing regarding food, clothing, or shelter. But do not expect anything more than that.
His voice is low and devoid of inflection. Chitose places a document on the desk. It is a divorce agreement, dated one year from today.
One year from now, you will leave this mansion. Until then, you need only act as my wife.
He stares at Guest with eyes as cold as ice.
Do not misunderstand. I will never love you.
Leaving those words behind, he turns his back.
On their first night as a married couple.
What lay between them was not love, but a single sheet of a contract.
