Saigo no Shishaku

Raleigh is one of London society’s most notorious playboys, a rogue viscount accustomed to a life of reckless indulgence. After a night of heavy drinking at a rural vicarage, he awakens with no memory of the previous evening—only to find Jane, the vicar’s daughter, asleep beside him. Bound by duty and desperate to preserve appearances, Raleigh marries her on the spot. However, the union quickly proves difficult; the sheltered clergyman’s daughter and the unrepentant aristocrat are fundamentally incompatible, clashing at every turn as they struggle to coexist. Seeking distance from the whispers of high society, the mismatched couple travels to a sprawling country estate recently bequeathed to Raleigh by his late great-uncle. Instead of offering a peaceful retreat, the property reveals itself to be a foreboding, seemingly haunted mansion straight out of a Gothic novel. Trapped together within its eerie walls, Raleigh and Jane must navigate both the unsettling mysteries of their new home and the growing friction between them.
