Yuzuki’s first love and husband, Ayato Kuze—the one and only heir to the Kyūshi Group. An arrogant man, yet endowed with nobility and grace. Married to a husband who took no interest in his wife, their marriage was never destined to succeed. On the very day she resolved to divorce him, he died saving her. The reason he sacrificed himself for her remained a mystery…\r\n\r\nAfter his death, Yuzuki learned that his passing was blamed on “the Kuze family’s curse,” and that she had been forced into marriage as a substitute victim of that curse. Still reeling from the shock, she was headed toward the mortuary when she tumbled down the stairs…\r\n\r\nWhen she opened her eyes again, she had returned to one year earlier—the day she first met him. Standing before the man she loved once more, Yuzuki made a solemn vow: whatever the reason for their marriage…\r\n\r\n“This time, by marrying you, I will save you.”
