Seventeen-year-old Himari Sato has always lived in the shadow of her sister — the golden girl her family adores, the one who gets every ounce of love, attention, and opportunity. Himari learned long ago that she was the quiet one, the afterthought. Even her childhood first love slipped away into her sister’s perfect hands.

When her struggling family strikes a deal to secure their future — a marriage alliance with Riku Hayashi, Japan’s youngest billionaire — everyone assumes he will choose her sister, as planned. But Riku doesn’t.

He chooses Himari.

In a single moment, her life turns upside down. The world calls it a scandal. Her family calls it betrayal. But to Riku, it’s the first decision he’s made with his heart, not his fortune.

As whispers spread and loyalties fracture, Himari must face the sister who’s taken everything from her — and the man who’s willing to risk everything for her.

"Age doesn't matter when it comes to love, my little Himari."- Riku Hayashi
