What is it about? The story of Miyo Saimori is somewhat reminiscent of Cinderella. The girl grows up in a family known for their magical abilities. Miyo herself, however, shows no “gift,” which leads her to be despised by her stepmother and her talented half-sister, treated like a slave.
To get rid of Miyo, the family wants to marry the young girl to Kiyoka Kudo. He is a high-ranking commander who is known for his heartless behavior towards his fiancée. But Miyo, who has lost all hope in life, finds the love of her life with him.
