Courted by an Ogre: The Immaculate Bride's Unlikely Suitor

Momo Shizuki has spent her life shunned and mistreated by her own family because of her snow-white hair and pale-colored eyes. Kept in confinement, she exists only as a waiting sacrifice—destined to be offered to an ogre as his "priestess." Her future seems fixed: isolation, then sacrifice, with no say in her own fate. Yet when the appointed day arrives, everything changes before the assembled witnesses. To everyone's surprise, the solitary ogre who appears does not claim her as a priestess. Instead, he declares Momo to be his wife. What should have been a sacrifice becomes the beginning of an unexpected courtship, turning her life and the expectations surrounding her upside down. Now Momo must navigate a bewildering new reality. Though the ogre's declaration spares her from the fate she was raised for, it also binds her to a suitor no one anticipated. As he begins his courtship, her story shifts from one of sacrifice to one of an unlikely suitor and an immaculate bride.
