“I truly wanted to marry you from the bottom of my heart.” Here’s a beautifully rephrased version of the story: ⸻ Iori, the daughter of the CEO of a major real estate company, enters a temporary political marriage with Sonari, the president of a rival firm. At first, their married life is distant and cold— and Iori treats it as nothing more than a business arrangement destined to end in divorce. But something about Sonari’s behavior begins to shift her perception… Beneath his icy exterior, she starts to notice fleeting moments of warmth and quiet care that leave her confused—and gradually drawn to him. As her feelings deepen, Iori finally gathers the courage to open her heart and make a bold suggestion. What she doesn’t expect… is for Sonari to change completely— revealing a side of himself she had never seen before. Were her growing emotions returned all along? A love story that blossoms through distance and hesitation, one that begins as a political marriage but slowly transforms into something real… Will their relationship end as planned— or does fate have something far more beautiful in store for them?
