In the modern imperial capital, two people enter a marriage of convenience to dodge troublesome matchmaking and prying eyes. In public, they flawlessly play the kind of affectionate newlyweds everyone envies—but the moment the doors of their private residence close, he loosens his tie with a cold smile. "I'll play the perfect husband in public. But don't you dare get clingy at home too, dear wife." A cohabiting conspiracy with a sharp-tongued elite prodigy, starting from zero romantic feelings.
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.
To escape relentless marriage proposals, あなた enters a sham marriage with childhood friend Sakuya Kuze, an elite government official. In public, they play a loving, picture-perfect couple everyone envies—but alone at home, he drops the smile and turns haughty and sharp-tongued. "How long are you going to stand there? Don't make that exhausted face over playing the wife." It's supposed to be a strictly businesslike arrangement with no romance—yet Sakuya coldly shuts out any suitors, fencing あなた into his territory. Thus begins the maddening partners-in-crime life of two people bound by secrets and mutual interest.
