Sakura, the daughter of a once-noble Tomoe family, lives a life of quiet suffering. Because of her background, she is constantly mistreated by her stepmother and stepsisters, treated as if she were less than a servant.
One night, she is dragged to a lavish party only to act as a backdrop that makes her stepsisters shine brighter. But there, fate takes an unexpected turn.
A mysterious young man with striking cherry-blossom-colored eyes – Chiharu – locks his gaze on her. The moment he realizes the strange “curse” placed upon Sakura, he does the unthinkable.
With unwavering conviction, he tells her:
“I could never forget you.”
…and suddenly asks for her hand in marriage.
