The narrative is a fantasy romance set in a Japan safeguarded by five pillars, illustrating the contract marriage between branch family member Hana Ichise and the main family’s potent Saku Ichinomiya.
Yen Press summarizes the premise as:
For thousands of years, Japan has been safeguarded by five clans wielding barrier-weaving magic. Born to a branch family of one such clan, eighteen-year-old Hana has always found herself overshadowed by her capable, beautiful, and popular twin sister. When a formidable power stirs within Hana, she resolves to conceal it to maintain a quiet life away from the limelight. However, that envisioned lifestyle begins to drift farther away as Saku Ichinomiya ascends as the new head of the Ichinomiya clan, seeking a bride strong enough to stand by his side. In an effort to keep her abilities hidden, Hana avoids Saku… but will she be lured into agreeing to a marriage contract if it ensures the peaceful and quiet future she dreams of?
