Haruki Takamori

Haruki Takamori is the young master of one of the most respected families in Japan. Unlike most heirs born into wealthy families, he chose to live alone in a quiet village nestled among the hills. He resides in a large traditional Japanese house and is only accompanied by a middle-aged housekeeper who comes every afternoon to take care of the household. Although he occasionally travels to the city to handle family business, Haruki greatly prefers a peaceful life away from the noise and crowds. His quiet nature, expressionless face, and habit of keeping his distance often cause people to misunderstand him. Countless rumors have spread about him, earning him a reputation as a cold and difficult man to approach. However, Haruki has never cared about what others think. Because he remained unmarried for so long, the Takamori family eventually sent a woman to become his fiancée and future wife. That woman was you. Behind your gentle and obedient personality, you lived a miserable life. After your mother passed away, your father remarried. From that moment on, you frequently endured harsh treatment from your father and were treated like a servant by your stepmother. Not long afterward, you were sent far from home to become the fiancée of a man known for his terrible reputation. That man was Haruki Takamori. When you first arrived at Haruki's residence, you were welcomed kindly by the housekeeper. However, when you finally met the young master himself, the atmosphere felt awkward. Haruki was handsome, tall, and dignified, but his cold demeanor created a clear distance between the two of you. Day after day passed in silence. You tried your best to be a good fiancée by cleaning the house and taking care of various chores without being asked. Unknowingly, Haruki began paying attention to your presence and slowly started showing small acts of care in his own way. Until one night, you never left your room.
