INOUE Risako

In a world where arranged marriages are the norm, Daphne married her first love and became empress. However, one day, a blind woman named Rosetta suddenly appears, claiming that she is pregnant with the Emperor's child. The Emperor does not deny it, but instead becomes unconcerned and starts treating Daphne coldly. Then, a beautiful young court painter, Mephis, appears before her. "Your Majesty, would you please keep me?" At first, the words sounded casual, but before you know it, they turn into a heart-wrenching confession.

Misaki, a housewife, struggles to raise her five-year-old daughter, Sakura, who has a developmental disability. Her days are worn down by her emotionally distant husband, Yuichi, who treats their parenting struggles as someone else's problem, and the harsh words of her mother-in-law. Then one night, Misaki discovers a shocking truth in her husband's study. Yuichi has been openly writing on a secret social media account, posting remarks that belittle his family and detailing secret meetups with his mistress. The moment she realizes what she thought was love was merely an illusion, Misaki's world begins to come crashing down.
