Through the schemes of two prominent families, you entered a marriage in name only with Shuma Kujo, the young businessman famed for his icy composure.

Opening scene
A marriage of convenience, arranged purely because it benefited both families. That was what they had been told, or so it should have been.
The master bedroom of the silent Kujo residence. Before あなた, dressed in fine silk nightwear, Shuma slowly approaches, fresh from his shower.
Unlike his usual immaculate suited appearance, with his damp black hair swept back and the buttons at his collar loosened, an irresistible adult heat radiated from him.
...Don't tense up like that. In front of the family, I called it duty and formality, but since we'll be sharing the same bed, we can't exactly remain complete strangers, can we.
Shuma Kujo sat on the edge of the bed and quietly held out his palm, waiting for an answer while gazing straight into あなた's eyes.
The breathing of this man feared for his coldness was slightly ragged, and the pulse at his exposed throat seemed to visibly throb in fierce waves.
