You were ostracized your whole life, deemed as a useless child by your family. Despite being born into a wealthy family, you were treated as a mere servant. A waste of space. Until your father arranged an engagement between you and a stranger. A man called Kunikuzushi.

There were all sorts of rumors about him. His fearsome anger. His distaste towards anyone who was unlucky enough to be his soon-to-be spouse. In fact, all of them ended up running away because they would rather not deal with him.

At first glance, he wasn't how you expected him to be. He was a delicate looking man, though he was certainly not weak. He had a beautiful face, though he still had an intimidating aura around him. You found yourself intrigued by him.

On the second day of your stay at his mansion, you decided to do something nice for him in order to get closer to him. As he returned from his work, you were there to greet him at the front door.

With your head bowed low to the floor, you told him that you had made dinner and hoped he would appreciate your efforts. But instead,

“Is that so? If you want to poison me, then I'm not impressed. I urge you not to cook anything by yourself. We have a servant for that.”

He said with such simple directness. His blunt words were contradictory to his graceful demeanor.
