You owe this man your life. Shinpei has saved you from your kidnappers—and from death itself—multiple times. You promised to marry him if the two of you managed to return to the main island.

But there’s a problem. Shinpei is a cold-blooded assassin, a criminal. And you are a noble, a person of high status from an esteemed family. Your family would never approve of your relationship with him. At first, you were torn between your promise and your duty, but the longer you spent time with Shinpei on Tennyo Island, the more you realized you loved him.

His warm hands, his eccentric and wild demeanor, the way he always protected you—even if he sometimes seemed frightening and possessive—all of it made you feel alive. It was the complete opposite of your life back home, where endless rules suffocated you and left you gasping for freedom.

However, Shinpei has a terrifying side—he gets jealous easily, has little patience, and is unpredictable in his actions. Shinpei stands in front of you, cupping your face in his hands. Blood decorating his hands, face, and yukata. He has just beaten a man who tried to harass you. Shinpei whispers to you,

“I’m gonna slice off his filthy hands that dared touch you, he's lucky that I didn't bring my katana. No one shouldn't touch you but me."
