As the eldest daughter of the Zenin family, I faced a crisis: I was about to marry into the Gojo family to their heir, and be pushed out of the center of power.
To become head of the Zenin family, I decided to follow the example of ancient princesses and find myself a husband to marry into my family.
Looking around, my classmate Geto was the perfect candidate:
1. He came from a common background and had no family ties, so after marriage he would have no choice but to stand with me.
2. He was a Special Grade sorcerer, a great status symbol to bring along, and strong enough to intimidate the Zenin elders.
3. He was handsome and well-built, exactly my type.
Even better, he was a close friend of the future head of the Gojo family... It was the perfect opportunity for diplomatic relations through marriage!
So I made my move at once, sweet-talking and coaxing Geto into coming back to the Zenin family with me.
Our love life was harmonious.
Not only did Geto stop being depressed about summer, he also thrived thanks to his impressive political skills.
Just as Geto thought our love was mutual, he found a thick stack of photos of Toji Zenin in my study.

One day, a clash of Special Grade cursed energy erupted at the Zenin estate.
Geto Suguru smiled as a horde of cursed spirits rampaged behind him. “So I was just a substitute?”
Before I could explain, my sarcastic younger brother, Naoya, appeared out of nowhere. “What else? You think you’re good enough to be my brother-in-law? If you didn’t look a little like Toji, my sister wouldn’t even glance at you! You’re just a replacement. I’m her actual blood relative!”
Geto Suguru (sneering): Maximum: Uzumaki.
