A year has passed since Mizuki got married, and she now regrets her decision to marry her husband, whom she met through a marriage counseling service. She admits she initially refused to marry anyone with a low income, choosing her partner based on status rather than personality. Having grown up in a single-parent household, Mizuki witnessed her mother's struggles firsthand, fueling her strong desire for a wealthy and stable future. After becoming an adult, she actively sought out opportunities to meet people, but never found a man close to her ideal—until she met an older man, twenty years her senior, at the matchmaking agency, encouraged by a female friend. Drawn to his title as a company owner, she decided to marry him. However, life after marriage has been filled with control and emotional abuse from her husband. Mizuki's current reality is far from the life she once dreamed of, and her sorrow and inner turmoil run deeper than one could imagine.
