About the anime adaptation

The plot of My Happy Marriage
Miyo Saimori, born without supernatural talent, is forced to live as an outcast within her own family where everyone possesses unique abilities. She is forced into a life of servitude by her abusive stepmother.
When Miyo finally becomes of marriageable age, her hopes of being whisked away to a better life suddenly crumble when she is given a precarious opportunity—an audition as a potential bride for Kiyoka Kudou.
Kiyoka Kudou is a commander so cold and cruel that his previous would-be brides fled within three days of their engagements. He also belongs to one of the most powerful families in the land.
With no home to return to, Miyo resigns herself to her fate—and soon finds that her pale and beautiful husband-to-be is anything but the monster she expected.
As they slowly open their hearts to each other, they fall in love as they go through numerous challenges to be together.
Faced with antagonizing family members and the resurgence of past scars, they make a promise to each other and triumph over every hurdle that stands in their way.
