Dreaming that this nightmare will end when she gets married, Miyo soon learns that her family-arranged fiancée is Kiyoka Kudou, known for being cold and cruel. After moving to live in his house, Miyo begins to discover that her future husband may not be such a monster.

The anime is based on the novel of the same name written by Akumi Agitogi. It was first published online in Japan and later purchased by Kadokawa in 2019. Eight volumes have been released under the Fushimi Shobo label since then, all illustrated by Tsukiho Tsukioka. Yen Press publishes the books in the USA.

A manga adaptation by Rito Kohsaka is also ongoing since 2018, with five volumes to date. Square Enix publishes the manga both in Japan and in the US. A live-action film was released exclusively in Japanese theaters in March 2023.

A special episode premiered on Netflix last month. Despite being tagged as “episode 13”, it's actually an OVA originally released in Japan in March, as part of a special package for the eighth volume of the novel. It's worth noting that Netflix typically doesn't acquire rights to stream content that was originally meant to be available only to buyers of special bundle volumes – but it would be too early to know if this is just an exception or if it could mean Netflix is ​​taking a different approach to anime.

Netflix has already confirmed that they will stream the new episodes.
