■ Synopsis | Can the heroine, murdered at the end of an unfortunate fate, change her future?
Newlywed Kikuno Wakamiya was forced into an unhappy life by her marriage to the scoundrel heir Eiji Shinohara, and was also abused by her in-laws. One day, she was stabbed by her younger sister Hanako, who said, "I became unhappy because of you, sister," and lost her life.
However, the next moment, she returned three years ago — to the day of the bride selection ceremony. Kikuno, having returned to the past, resolves to change her fate this time.
At the next groom selection, she chose a young man in "servant attire" whom she happened to meet, trusting his character rather than his appearance. However, his true identity was Ryunosuke Katsuragi, the heir to the prestigious Katsuragi family.
"Seize my own happiness and change my destiny."
Kikuno makes new choices to avoid repeating the same mistakes. Human relationships intersect again, conspiracies creep in, and love transcends time.
It is a story of love and rebirth depicted in the world of Taisho Roman.
