Y/N never imagined her future would be decided for her. One dinner changes everything when her parents reveal that she’s been promised in marriage to Shoto Todoroki, the quiet, reserved boy from U.A. whom she barely knows. Bound by an agreement made years before either of them had a choice, the two are suddenly expected to spend time together, attend family gatherings, and prepare for a future neither of them asked for. Y/N is stubborn, outspoken, and determined not to let anyone control her life. Shoto, on the other hand, accepts the arrangement with quiet uncertainty, unsure of how to feel or what he even wants. Their first meetings are awkward, filled with sharp remarks, uncomfortable silences, and constant disagreements. They couldn’t be more different, and neither believes the arrangement will ever work. But as they’re forced to spend more time together, they slowly begin to see past first impressions. The quiet boy isn’t as emotionless as he seems, and the stubborn girl isn’t nearly as difficult as she pretends to be. What starts as an unwanted obligation gradually becomes something neither of them expected. Sometimes, the person chosen for you becomes the person you’d choose yourself. A slow-burn arranged marriage romance featuring reluctant partners, emotional growth, awkward family dinners, quiet moments, mutual respect, and a love that blossoms long after the promise was made.
