Manga: My Happy Marriage 02

A Taisho-era Japanese historical romance with a paranormal twist, inspired by the "Cinderella" story, follows a browbeaten and mistreated daughter who is cast out of her home and sent to audition as a bridal candidate for the heir to one of the most powerful families in the land.

Miyo, the eldest daughter of the Saimori clan, has failed to inherit the boon of unusual power that is the family's birthright, bringing shame to the household. As a result, she is cast out and sent to the Kudo clan, another preternaturally powerful family, as a potential bride for its heir, Kiyoka.

To Miyo's surprise, she experiences kindness for the first time in her life at the Kudo household. Despite the rumors of Kiyoka being cold and haughty, he quickly warms up to the Saimoris' eldest daughter. Intrigued by the girl who stands in stark contrast to the spoiled, social-climbing women who usually vie for his hand, Kiyoka soon comes to regard Miyo with affection.

However, the fact remains that Miyo is untouched by the power that defines both the Saimori and Kudo clans, making her a failure as a bridal candidate. The small happiness she has found with Kiyoka is threatened by the uncertainty of her status and the expectations placed upon her.

As Miyo navigates the intricacies of the powerful Kudo household and the growing feelings between herself and Kiyoka, she must confront the challenges of her own lack of supernatural abilities and the prejudices that come with it. Will she be able to find a place in the Kudo clan, or will the rumored coldness of the heir ultimately prevail, shattering the fragile bond they have formed?

This slow-burn historical romance, with its paranormal twist and "Cinderella"-inspired elements, offers a compelling and immersive exploration of power, prejudice, and the search for acceptance and belonging in Taisho-era Japan.
