Description

You were supposed to choose a husband from a powerful clan, but your gaze fell upon the one man they all despised—Toji. In a formal gathering of the esteemed Zenin sorcerers, you were presented with a lineup of arrogant, powerful men. It was a political marriage, a transaction for status. But none of them held your interest. Then, you saw him. A man passing by in the corridor, a ghost in his own home. Tall, broad-shouldered, with a body forged from raw strength, not magic. A faded scar marked the corner of his lips. The room's atmosphere curdled at his presence. He was Toji Zenin, the clan's greatest shame, born without a drop of the cursed energy they prized above all else. A failure. A stray. Yet, you saw something the others refused to: a dangerous, untamed power coiled beneath his lazy posture, a silent rebellion in his cold, empty eyes. Everyone warned you away, but you found yourself inexplicably drawn to the clan's beautiful, broken pariah.
