Summary
Sorcery has always been beyond scientific explanation. How the stars aligned to bring forth a new set of promising young sorcerers— all born on the cusp of a new era of sorcery— will forever mystify the elders who came before you.
As the first-born of the Koganei clan, your family held onto every hope that you would uphold their pride, as well as a silly little wish that the young heir of the Gojo clan would consider you a potential bride. Unfortunately for everyone, settling down was the last thing on his mind. The world was his oyster, after all.
Glimpses of your relationship with Gojo Satoru throughout the many years of your strange friendship.

Summary
With your father dead and your brother inheriting leadership of your clan, it was only right that you would fill the station of the Lady of the Koganei house until he finds a most appropriate bride for himself. (Oh, if only you knew how long it would take him to do so.)
You were introduced to Nanami Kento back in early 2006, when your childhood friend and his brave band of misfits gatecrashed your old man’s funeral in an attempt to lure you out of your family home. Something had taken root following that fated first meeting and who would have thought that you would remain mesmerised by his chiselled features and that cold, cold heart after all those years?
A glimpse of your situationship with Nanami Kento throughout the years.

Summary
"Since when did loving your wife become a weakness, Nao-sama?" You asked with a soft chuckle, your voice slick with both venom and honey and the confused look on his face simply delighted you. "You don’t have to believe what they told you. Loving your wife is a power move, one your ancestors refused to do."
It’s been a year since your marriage to Naoya, the scion of the Zenin Clan, heir to the seat of the ancient family’s leadership, your dearest childhood friend and a man after your own heart. After being told that he had grown soft following his marriage to you, his reaction only proved a single point.
Love runs through everything now. Naoya only had yet to realise that.

Summary
Satoru said that neither he nor you could bring back Suguru from the edge on which he stood. It didn’t matter now how precious you were to the wayward young man because Satoru was right. There was simply no stopping a man whose moral compass had been smashed by the very people he sought to protect, especially when they've been deemed unworthy of any form of protection or salvation.
Underneath all the chaos he had left in his wake, you still hoped he’d make an exception for you— and maybe he has, given how he still looked at you with the same eyes filled with the same kind of gentleness when you first met years ago.
You loved him, gods, you really did... But you weren't about to compromise your own principles for a criminal.
Glimpses of your relationship with Geto Suguru, from your first meeting to your last, and a look at what might have been.

Summary
The name he carried was ancient— sickening as well. The old texts described the last man who pinned that name to his person as a devil, and it made you wonder if the boy sitting right in front of you was the same. (Maybe he could have been, if he had let his resentment get the better of him.)
The Kamo Noritoshi you were set to marry once you both came of age was nothing like the devil of the old times, but something about him did make your blood run cold. Regardless, you know he would be a good husband, and you would make the most out of the responsibilities that tie the two of you together.
Glimpses of your relationship with Kamo Noritoshi throughout the many years of your engagement.

Summary
Right from the start, Megumi knew what giving into desire would lead to. Desiring was a luxury he was afforded every opportunity given the kind of childhood he had. But when he first saw you— the fabled and forbidden crimson fruit hanging from a tree in a garden he had no right to be in— he was tempted beyond compare. Unlike all the other girls who were introduced to him as of late, something about you unnerved him. It must be the storm in your eyes.
You stood there painted in the fierceness of blood-red, a glint of sharp grit in your eyes that didn't match the softness of your expression.
Unfortunately for the young Zenin boy, he was well beyond the point of wanting... And how dangerous was it to want someone who already belonged to someone else?

Summary
On the day of the crown prince's wedding, the archbishop and everyone else present on that momentous occasion were shocked that the binding vow had no effect at all. That smile on his face said everything. He had uttered those same sacred words twenty years ago— to a bright-eyed girl from his youth— and he meant every word he said back then. With his plot finally at play, nothing else tied him to the bride he hardly knew, but everything now tied him to you.
You could hardly paint the confused expressions on your parents' faces when they found the imperial prince and his personal retinue of guards all standing outside your door. There was a smile you've seen once in your life, one sunny afternoon twenty years ago after playing prince and princess with a neighbourhood kid you never saw again until today.
Well, well, well. If it isn't the consequences of your actions... or to put it more appropriately, your words.

Summary
A companion piece to Up The Winding Stairs. Years before he became known as the young Emperor Satoru's Vicious Obsidian, chevalier candidate Suguru Geto once rescued a coveted reverse cursed technique user from a kidnapping. The doves of the empire always fetched a fantastic price, even more so a daughter of a minor Imperial noble family like you. Small as it was back then, a need was sparked in your heart. Your paths would cross again years after that fateful encounter, this time as an Imperial General and a baroness also serving as a part-time healer for the empire.
With his charge now married, Imperial General Suguru Geto has been tasked with something possibly more troublesome than looking after the Crown Prince— finding a wife for himself. Not that it was absolutely necessary, but he didn't want the imaginary sign that read the empire's most eligible bachelor on his back for long.

Summary
On one side of the coin of fate, Okkotsu Yuuta stopped wanting things ever since he lost one most precious to him, even though it was due to circumstances beyond his control. He decided against wanting anything ever again.
And on the other side… As a beloved daughter of an age-old sorcerer clan, you often got everything you wanted. That is why you were allowed to grace the stage of many of Tokyo's extravagant places of gathering as one of this generation's most popular idols. And upon meeting Yuuta for the first time, you resolved that this man would be no exception— that you would get him, too— no matter how hard he tried to evade you and your most curious gaze.
Though admittedly, he didn't try very hard.
Still reeling from an overseas mission, Special Grade Sorcerer and for-hire bodyguard Okkotsu Yuuta gets roped into a one-night stand with a retiring idol trying to evade an unwanted engagement arranged by her family— and the choice that changes the trajectory of both your lives.

Summary
On your first night of the impromptu trip, Satoru took it in his stride when you said you wanted to have greasy meat for dinner. When you wanted drinks, however, he started getting a little apprehensive. You knew he didn't drink much, after all. He still had one as opposed to your three beers, but he was more buzzed than you. When you arrived back at the unit and said you wanted to bathe first to get rid of the stench of smoke and barbecue on your skin, he obliged, but only because he was still trying to compose himself.
Satoru could hear his own pulse in his ears now, his senses all the more heightened as he tried to maintain a steady hold on his common sense. However, he was far too enamoured with you to even think about anything else.
And when you stepped out of the bathroom in a silk nightgown he hadn't seen you in before, your cheeks and palms still warm and balmy from the little soak you had mere moments ago, his common sense was flung out of the room.

Summary
The rising star of the Faculty of Law, Satoru Gojo, thrives in solid, ice-cold logic. His personal credo was the belief in evidence above all else. Speculations and estimations can help in cases, but only evidence tells the truth— in everything, even outside the courtroom. He believes a person's actions always speak louder than any spoken intentions.
Satoru thought he was good at reading people. That is, until he met you.

Summary
Komorebi (Sunlight filtering through leaves)
Satoru was often reminded of his obligations to his family— producing an heir was most paramount.
After having graduated from Tokyo Jujutsu High and now at the perfect age to learn about bedroom etiquette, his clan wouldn't permit just anyone into his quarters. For his first partner, they selected a faceless, nameless girl who had never been with a man, clean and virtuous— pretty, pleasant, and pliant— you, despite your pleas for mercy and reconsideration. This wasn't part of the deal, whatever it was…
You've stopped believing in gods the moment your family abandoned you to the hands of fate, nary a care about whatever future was in store for you. But on that fateful night, as you lay there a ripe offering, a "first fruit", you prayed to one— and here he was.

Summary
A failed marriage often hurts a man's ego more than they let on. That's why most of them hide the fact that they're divorced when asked about relationships.
What was once an amicable marriage turned sour when Naoya was disinherited by his own father, and it meant that your husband would be subservient to you, the heir of your clan. But his pride would never let him accept that.
As reparations for his threats against the younger, newer, and more competent head of the Zenin Clan, the disgraced former heir Naoya is pledged back into your clan's services — against your better judgment — and you're both once again reminded of the happiness you once shared, the risks you took to make your marriage work, and the pride that neither of you were willing to drop, as though it was worth more than the love you thought you had.
