My Happy Marriage

Synopsis

The days of two lovely people are like a spring dream of cherry blossoms dancing fleetingly but beautifully. The sparkling lights resemble a kaleidoscope that changes colour one after another, and will make the viewer question what "happiness" is. The story takes place in a fictional era reminiscent of the Meiji and Taisho eras, a time of great romanticism where Japan's ancient sense of beauty and the fashions of Western civilisation are interwoven. Born talentless to a noble family famous for their supernatural abilities, Miyo Saimori is forced into an existence of servitude by her abusive stepmother. When Miyo finally comes of marriageable age, though, her hopes of being whisked away to a better life crumble after she discovers her fiancé’s identity: Kiyoka Kudou, a commander apparently so cold and cruel that his previous would-be brides all fled within three days of their engagements. With no home to return to, Miyo resigns herself to her fate—and soon finds that her pale and beautiful husband-to-be is anything but the monster she expected. As they slowly open their hearts to each other, both realize the other may be their chance at finding true love and happiness.
