Characters

Fuki was born into an impoverished family and in her early childhood she was often teased a lot by the other children in her town due to her parents being known as "vagabonds," but despite this she grew up in a loving home. However, that changed drastically after the death of her mother; with her grief-stricken father no longer able to take care of her, on the recommendation of her teacher, she went to Tokyo to work for an affluent family as a housemaid. Despite all that had happened to her in her hometown she remained kind, lively, and hardworking.

Yugo was born to the affluent Tachibana family. Fuki, who worked in his family's manor, became fond of her as they were often playmates. He later moved in with his uncle in Hokkaido at age twelve for middle school and returned to his family at age eighteen to study at the First Imperial University. Upon his return he was reunited with Fuki. With Yugo's good looks, great academic performance, and calm and collected personality, he was a highly sought-after son-in-law even after his marriage to Fuki.
