Synopsis of My Happy Marriage
Miyo Saimori was the unfortunate daughter of a loveless arranged marriage. After her mother’s death, her father brought in her lover and her new daughter, Kaya. From then on, Miyo’s life was reduced to that of a mere servant. Even worse, while Kaya inherited the family’s psychic abilities, Miyo had none, she truly was a worthless daughter. After years of being treated like trash, Miyo learned to keep her head down before others, hide her pain, and obey all of her orders. Therefore, it is not surprising that she is willing to marry Kiyoka Kudou, a military captain who is rumored to be so cruel that he has chased away all potential wives from her to date.
From a painful upbringing to a painful marriage, that’s the future that awaits Miyo, or so she believes. Contrary to her expectations, her new husband is actually kind. What awaits Miyo then is a happy marriage full of happiness.
