Satoko is bound by duty to marry a noble, but canโ€™t escape the assassin who has her in his sights.

Afflicted with a heart condition, Meiji-era noblewoman Satoko is determined to secure a marriage that will benefit her family before she dies. But before she can realize her goal, sheโ€™s targeted by a mysterious assassin named Shinpei. In a last-ditch effort to save her life, Satoko asks her would-be murderer to marry her. Her proposal isnโ€™t sincere, but unfortunately for her, Shinpei loves as intensely as he kills. Can Satoko find a way to break the engagement without losing her life?

Before she can secure a marriage that will redeem her worth in her familyโ€™s eyes, she finds herself the target of the mysterious assassin Shinpei, and her plans are put in jeopardy. In order to save herself, she makes a desperate proposalโ€”of marriage! When it comes to love, however, Shinpei takes โ€œuntil death do we partโ€ seriously.
