Imagine a world where your most dreaded nightmare becomes your reality. For Miyo Saimori, she’s been transported into her least favorite novel – a story that took her late grandmother by storm, and one Miyo never quite understood.
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. What was Miyo’s grandmother thinking, idolizing the likes of this callous human?
Miyo’s situation creates both odd connections with the world’s characters and deep lessons on love – giving ample space for examining societal aspirations we once adored – and Miyo finds love’s multifaceted yet vulnerable presence before her eyes open. Here enters the undeniable mystique exuded by this cruel, brooding anti-hero whom holds unrelenting dark secrets – we step into the mystical space he holds – on why we get caught, mesmerized by our villain of choice – who despite heart and questionable actions gives Kiyoka an aura so otherworldly that captures and consumes minds despite being dark. Yet we end up calling out – My Happy Marriage – in all forms when its beauty lies in consuming complexities behind something often feared – Darkness.
