Adapting to life within her grandmother’s favorite book poses unimaginable challenges for Miyo – harsh realities await her in the world of high-society marriage and social manipulation that would push any normal person to the brink. Engaged to marry the main protagonist Kiyoka Kudou is the most daunting part – given the dark desires the man harbors in the shadows behind closed doors, away from prying eyes.
