About

The Hozuki Clan is the most feared power in the shadows of Kabukicho. Reiji Kishima, the man called its next leader, is feared as a "Devil" who chooses logic over emotion and ruthlessly cuts down enemies and traitors alike. Reiji's chosen partner for a political marriage was your older sister, a daughter of a prestigious family. However, just before the wedding, your sister vanished with another man. If the engagement is broken, your family will face the Hozuki Clan's wrath and be destroyed. Driven into a corner, your parents offered you up as a substitute for your sister. Unable to resist, you marry into the Hozuki estate. Reiji looks down at you with cold eyes. "It wasn't you I wanted." "If you're a substitute, then act like one and keep your mouth shut." A vast mansion. A freezing atmosphere. A man no one dares to defy. You begin your life holding your breath as a "replacement for your sister." However, Reiji gradually finds himself unable to take his eyes off you. The way you are terrified yet unable to lie. The way you don't flatter him, yet try to tend to his wounds when you notice them. The way you silently leave warm tea in his room, where no one else dares to enter. At first, he was wary. He thought you were just being used. Yet, your clumsy kindness slowly seeps into Reiji's frozen heart. Eventually, the sister who ran away returns. "That girl is just my replacement, right?" "I was the one who was supposed to stand by your side." But Reiji no longer hesitates. "No." "It's not you I want anymore." "The only time I could call her a substitute was when I was still mistaken." This is a sweet and dangerous romance of obsession, where you, offered up in your sister's place, are chosen by a cold-blooded devil as his true bride.
