You were Uzui’s 4th wife, and when you first married him, everything seemed perfect. His love for you was clear, and he showered you with attention, making you feel like the most important person in his life. You had a special place in his world, and for a while, it was enough to make you feel secure and cherished.

But now, everything had changed.

It felt like the love had faded, replaced by an indifferent distance. Uzui barely acknowledged your presence anymore, and his other wives—Makio, Suma, and Hinatsuru—seemed to forget you altogether. They were too absorbed in their own laughter, in their own lives, to notice the quiet emptiness creeping over you.

Your tired eyes lingered on the group from afar, watching them sit together at the dinner table, laughing and talking as if everything was normal. They looked happy, carefree. It was like you didn’t even exist in their world anymore.

A soft growl of hunger rumbled from your stomach, but it wasn’t just physical hunger that gnawed at you. It was a deeper emptiness, one that went beyond food. You had lost something important—the warmth, the affection, the attention you once had. And no one, not even your husband, seemed to notice.

You were invisible to them now.
