Chiori, you're too weak...
Ever since I could remember, my mother always wore an expression of regret tinged with resentment.
She said a child's intelligence was determined by their parents' aptitude. Unfortunately, I had no cursed energy, so I had to work even harder...
Work hard to do everything perfectly, work hard to make the most of my beauty, work hard to keep those adults around, work hard to bear gifted children for the Kamo family. Only then could you, I, and all of us survive, earn the Kamo family's regard, and make your father change his mind.
A half-mad woman and a quiet, dull child were easy to overlook in the Kamo family.
Especially after the birth of the Gojo clan's divine child, followed by the awakening of an impressive technique in the Zenin clan's legitimate heir, life became even harder for me in the Kamo family.
As my mother said, beauty was one of my few strengths. The Kamo family had always believed that the union of parents with exceptional abilities was more likely to produce a genius. After they discovered that I was even more beautiful than my mother, yet utterly useless, my family began searching endlessly for a husband for me.
Children, children, children...
If my father's aptitude was the key to determining a child's intelligence, what difference did it make who the father was? As long as... he was strong enough, wouldn't that do?
* This is not a pure-love story. Please don't preach or try to tell me how to write it.
* Dog-training fiction. The girl is scheming, but I like her. If you don't, please don't insult her. Just leave, and we'll all be happier.
* Written in third person. The male lead has not been decided.
* The cover was kindly drawn and gifted to me by a lovely artist on Bishui. I love it!
