Madam Atobe's Love Diary

Another story in the same series as the works in my column. The longer story is coming soon, so come on in!

Blurb:

"You think this is a transaction, but I've already fallen for you."

A lofty, untouchable heir to a financial conglomerate x a calculating heiress from a family of tea masters

Fujiwara Yukie, the only daughter of a Kyoto tea ceremony family, was born with a gentle face, but hid the sharpest of needles within.

To save her family from ruin and take revenge, she married Atobe Keigo, the business world’s famed "emperor of the new elite."

Everyone said this marriage was the first step in the Atobe Group's takeover of the Fujiwara family.

Until one day

At a press conference, someone asked provocatively, "Is Miss Fujiwara merely a victim of a business alliance?"

Before Yukie could answer, Atobe suddenly snatched up the microphone beside her. "Please call her Mrs. Atobe."

Their marriage was supposed to be a contractual arrangement, with each getting what they wanted. But he crossed the line, pulling her into his arms on a rainy night and whispering against her burning ear:

"The tea ceremony values 'one time, one meeting,' but what I want is to be with you for all eternity."

Reading Guide:

1. Both leads are each other's first love, happy ending

2. A powerful couple. The heroine is a tea ceremony master, sweet on the outside but dark within

Theme: Even in the ruins of hatred and self-interest, a flower called love can still bloom.
