A Substitute Marriage With an Admirable Husband

Sometimes, a single twist of fate is all it takes to discover true happiness. Miya has always lived in the shadow of her older sister, Mirei, who is elegant, refined, and cherished by their family as their greatest pride. In contrast, Miya is frequently criticized for her childish behavior, outdated kimonos, and lack of proper etiquette. Despite their differences, Miya deeply admires her sister, especially because Mirei is set to marry Kenichiro Hirose—the man Miya has secretly loved her entire life. However, as the wedding day approaches, Mirei vanishes without a trace. With the ceremony in jeopardy and no bride to be found, Miya seizes an unexpected opportunity and volunteers to take her sister’s place at the altar. Will this impulsive decision lead to the happily ever after she has always dreamed of? In a separate story, Ayako endures relentless bullying at work due to her timid nature and slow speech, eventually being driven to resign over a mistake that was never her fault. Tired of constantly apologizing and hating her own meekness, she embarks on a trip to Europe, where she crosses paths with Hal, a dazzling and charismatic individual. This encounter inspires Ayako to build newfound confidence and shed her fragile exterior. As Hal brings a refreshing change into her world, Ayako begins to wonder if there might be even more ways he can transform her life. This volume also includes five additional chapters.
