The Ogre's Bride

In a world where humans and ayakashi—supernatural beings of extraordinary power and breathtaking beauty—coexist in harmony, it is customary for these mystical entities to choose human women as their brides. In return for bringing prosperity to their chosen partner's life, the ayakashi offers absolute devotion. Yuzu, however, has never experienced such grace. Constantly overshadowed by her sister, who was selected as the bride of a demon fox, Yuzu endures daily resentment and mistreatment from her own family. Driven to her breaking point by this relentless cruelty, Yuzu wanders onto a bridge one fateful day, where she encounters a man of unparalleled beauty. To her astonishment, this stranger declares that she is the bride he has been searching for all along. He is no ordinary man, but the most powerful and notoriously cold-hearted ayakashi in existence. Yet beneath his icy exterior, he reveals an overwhelming tenderness, urging her to simply be still and let him hold her. For the first time in her life, Yuzu finds herself at the center of an all-consuming supernatural romance, cherished by a being who promises to pour his entire heart into loving her.
