A Thousand Years of Truth

Chitose Mari has always known her place in the world.

Or at least, that is what the Gojo Clan wants her to believe.

Born into a powerful family and bound to Gojo Satoru through a marriage arranged by the clan, Mari was never meant to live an ordinary life. Unlike her husband, she possesses no cursed technique, no supernatural strength, and no way to see the world of curses that surrounds him.

What she does possess is intelligence.

As the head of the Gojo clan's financial empire, Mari becomes a force the clan elders cannot easily control. Behind her glasses and perfectly composed exterior is a woman who has survived loss, manipulation, and years of political games while quietly protecting the people she loves.

Especially Satoru.

To the world, Gojo Satoru is the strongest. To Mari, he is the reckless, infuriating man who destroys property, wastes money, disappears without warning-and somehow always manages to find his way back to her.

Their marriage may have begun as nothing more than a contract, but beneath the arguments and indifference lies something neither of them is prepared to confront.

Because Mari has spent years hiding the truth about what she feels for him.

And Satoru has spent years failing to see it.

As the secrets surrounding the Gojo Clan begin to unravel, Mari is forced to confront the man responsible for destroying her family, while Satoru finds himself drawn closer to the woman he once treated as nothing more than an obligation.

Between clan politics, old wounds, dangerous enemies, and a world where strength determines who gets to survive, Mari must decide how much she is willing to sacrifice to protect the people she loves.

And Satoru must finally ask himself a question he has spent years avoiding:

What happens when the strongest man in the world realizes that the one person he should have protected was the woman standing beside him all along?

He can see through every illusion.

But can he finally see the truth?
