My Happy Marriage

Miyo Saimori has known little but hardship. After her mother dies, she is pushed aside within her own household—her father remarries, her half-sister Kaya is favored, and Miyo is reduced to the role of a servant. Unable to resist the constant mistreatment, she gradually abandons any hope that her circumstances will ever change.

That fragile routine is upended when her father announces an arranged marriage to Kiyoka Kudou, the head of the respected Kudou family. Though his status is unquestioned, Kiyoka’s reputation is far colder: he is said to be ruthless, and previous fiancées have been driven away. Expecting more cruelty when she arrives at the Kudou estate, Miyo instead finds unexpected gentleness—offering her a rare chance to step out of her family’s shadow and discover what a quieter, happier life could look like.
