Escape from Grace

Shizuka is the beautiful and highly respected daughter of the prestigious Nishizono household. Recently, her father’s company has begun to experience financial difficulties, prompting him to seek a solution common among the elite. Determined to stabilize and expand his business, he plans to arrange a marriage between Shizuka and either a prominent young professional or the heir to another powerful family. As a devoted daughter who deeply loves and respects her father, Shizuka understands the weight of his expectations and the pressures facing their family's legacy. Despite her affection for him, Shizuka absolutely despises having her personal freedom restricted. Her father’s relentless pushiness regarding these arranged suitors has driven her to develop a unique coping mechanism. Whenever a marriage meeting seems imminent, she habitually runs away from the family estate to escape the pressure. This cycle of devotion and rebellion defines her daily life, as she struggles to balance her love for her father with her desperate need to maintain her independence against the rigid demands of high society.
