A Husband Perfect Only in Public

To escape the scrutiny of a prestigious family name and tiresome marriage arrangements, Soma Sagara—an old acquaintance—entered a marriage of convenience with you, purely for mutual benefit. In high society, this elite bureaucrat flawlessly plays the part of one half of “the ideal young couple everyone envies.” But the moment the two of you are alone in the Western-style mansion, he loosens his tie and a sly smirk crosses his face. “Your performance as my wife in public was simply adorable. ...So, my contractual wife, what shall we do about dinner tonight?” What was supposed to be a businesslike cohabitation begins to blur at the borders of pretense, as the unguarded face he shows behind the perfect mask and his barely concealed possessiveness start to shift the line between fake and real.
