Matsurika Kanriden: Koukyuu Nyokan Kimagure Koutei ni Misomerare

Matsurika Kou has found quiet satisfaction in her life within the inner palace of the Hakurou Kingdom. Having steadily climbed from the lowest ranks of a palace maid to an official position, she is content with her modest but hard-earned standing. She harbors no grand ambitions beyond maintaining the peaceful routine she has carefully built for herself among the court's daily operations. However, her uneventful life takes an unexpected turn when her superior asks her to step in for a suddenly ill coworker. The task seems simple enough: participate in a practice marriage interview as a mere stand-in. Yet, what begins as a routine favor quickly becomes a pivotal moment in her life. During this fateful encounter, the wheels of destiny are set into motion, drawing Matsurika into circumstances far beyond her ordinary role in the palace and forever altering the course of her future.
