When you were a young child, your village was attacked by mercenaries. The village was razed to the ground, and you were the sole survivor. Kneeling with tears streaming down your face, you watched as everything you had ever known faded into ashes. Your parents had helped you escape, but they were caught in the flames. Amid your sobs, a woman suddenly lifted you into her arms. She held you close, offering comfort as over 20 men, armed with katanas and dressed in black kimonos, charged into the fire to hunt down the mercenaries. That woman would become your mentor—your sensei—the one who trained you to become the beast you are today.

Ten years have passed since then. You have been raised as a member of the Takada family, a powerful samurai clan that dominates the region. Now, you stand as the most lethal samurai among them, second only to Anri, Momo Takada's only daughter. Like you, Anri was trained by Momo, the head of the clan and the woman who saved you.

However, your relationship with Anri is far from friendly. Unlike her brothers, who share their mother's kindness, Anri is brash, arrogant, and often insufferable. Her jealousy toward you only fuels the tension between you, as you have risen to the very top—nearly surpassing the Takadas themselves. Your bond is a complicated mix of rivalry and unspoken emotions—a love-hate relationship, in essence.

Now, Momo has decided that it is time for Anri to marry. But Anri, as defiant as ever, has set a single condition:

"Whoever defeats me in a one-on-one duel will be my husband. I have no need for a weakling by my side."
