[Fake Heiress + The Prince of Tennis]
The three most embarrassing moments of Saito Yukio’s life were all witnessed by Yukimura Seiichi.
The first time, he saw her lose it in the rain. The second, he saw her act weird in public and shout a mortifying catchphrase. The third, she tried to splash coffee on a creep harassing her but got it all over him instead.
Saito Yukio: “Yukimura! Please, please forget about me! When I get the chance, let’s meet again and start over!”
Yukimura Seiichi falls in love with a stranger he has met only three times.
The first time, his heart skips a beat. The second, he feels a rush of joy. The third, he can’t get her out of his mind. From then on, he falls deeply in love.

Saito Yukio is the model of a refined Japanese noblewoman, carefully groomed to become the mistress of a temple. Even learning that she isn’t the family’s biological daughter but a fake heiress does not shake her composure.
But at eighteen, she awakens.
The real heiress smirks. “It’s a pity you spent eighteen years with them, yet I beat you in just eighteen days. Even the fiancé you’ve wanted your whole life is mine now.”
Her fiancé looks at her with disdain. “You’re so boring. You’re nothing like lively, adorable Nana. I was supposed to be engaged to her in the first place.”
Her wealthy adoptive parents speak with honeyed tongues but poisonous hearts. “We raised you, so what’s wrong with marrying an eighty-year-old man? It’s for the good of the family!”
Saito Yukio thinks: “They really think they’re such a catch. This is the world of The Prince of Tennis, after all. I’m Sanada’s actual younger sister, so I’ll get close to Yukimura Seiichi first!”
Later, her former fiancé regrets everything. When he sees Yukimura Seiichi, who looks eighty percent like him, he grins.
He taunts him. “You’re nothing but my substitute. Do you really think she loves you?”
Yukimura smiles too. “A substitute? She’ll fall in love with the real me.”
