One's an emotionally unavailable introvert with the charisma of a brick. The other's a sarcastic menace who treats flirting like psychological warfare. Now stuck in a bizarre world where everyone thinks they're the perfect power couple, these two have to navigate suspicious villagers, awkward marital traditions, and each other's very punchable personalities. Can two emotionally stunted idiots fake a relationship long enough to find a way home? Or worse... will they start actually catching feelings? Welcome to the romantic disaster you didn't know you needed. MODERN AND TAISHO! None of the character belong to me except the oc's~
