Kawaikute Gomen

The Fors name carries weight throughout the southern domain, synonymous with unmatched swordsmanship and noble authority. As the third son of this prestigious lineage, Nova should have been born into privilege—yet from childhood, he was treated as an outcast. The unique power that flows through the Fors bloodline simply refused to manifest in him, branding him a failure in the eyes of his family. Now an adult, Nova has been granted a minor, insignificant territory, but the title comes with neither responsibility nor respect. He lives in the margins of his own house, a man expected to accomplish nothing and given nothing to do. That quiet, empty existence is shattered when an outrageous marriage proposal arrives. The offer comes from the Archgate family—the great northern house locked in a generations-old feud with the Fors clan. What makes the proposal even more unthinkable is the identity of his would-be bride: Chia Archgate, the formidable head of her family, a woman at the peak of her power and prosperity, whispered to be ruthless and cold-blooded. Yet to Nova's astonishment, Chia confesses her long-held devotion, declaring she has loved him since a fateful encounter in the past. Thus, the forsaken third son finds himself married to a woman who is, in his eyes, perfect in every way—kind, brilliant, and gentle, a side of her that no one else in the world is permitted to see. While the realm speaks of Chia Archgate in fearful tones, Nova sees only the adorable wife who showers him with unwavering affection. Between the easygoing Nova and the secretly devoted Chia, a new life begins—one where the woman who holds the north in her grasp is determined to give her husband everything he never had, and rewrite the destiny of a man who once had nothing at all.
