In a world of royal power, political alliances, and hidden agendas, Yuki Sakusa bears the weight of a legacy she never asked for.
As the eldest child and adoptive daughter of Crown Prince Atsumu and Emperor Kiyoomi, Yuki's duty is clear: protect the Empire at all costs. When she uncovers a sinister plot by her estranged grandfather to overthrow the Empire, Yuki must take drastic measures. Her solution? An unexpected, secret contractual marriage to Kaeto, the cold and calculating son of Emperor Daichi and his husband, Suga.
Yuki despises Kaeto, having clashed with him throughout their time at Alpha school, but she's willing to sacrifice her personal feelings to safeguard her family's legacy. Meanwhile, her younger siblings-Haruki, Aoi, and Hari-face their own battles as they grapple with the demands of their lineage. As tension builds and secrets unravel, Yuki and Kaeto must navigate the fine line between pretense and truth, all while keeping the Empire from falling into enemy hands. In this modern tale of duty and deception, loyalty is tested, alliances are forged, and love emerges in the most unlikely of places.
