Nanako Fujiwara, a socially isolated high school girl, remains an outcast even after transferring schools—until one day, her life takes a dramatic turn! She’s unexpectedly tasked with a crucial mission: selecting the next heir of a powerful conglomerate (zaibatsu). To "accurately evaluate the candidates’ leadership qualities," she must live with four dazzlingly handsome brothers competing for the title: Yamato Mitsurugi (Eldest): Flawless Student Council President Vibe: "Excellence isn’t my goal—it’s my default." Shizumaru Tenhou (Second): Undefeated Street Fighter Vibe: "Try saying no. I’ll make you regret it." Hikaru Sennen-zaka (Third): Illegally Adorable Mascot Vibe: "Nee-chan, let’s bake cookies!" (…Why is his stock portfolio outperforming Wall Street?) Ukyou Sumeragi (Youngest): Mysterious Beauty Incarnate Vibe: "You keep staring… Do I haunt your dreams?" The Catch: Each brother deploys every tactic imaginable—from sweet persuasion to corporate sabotage—to win Nanako’s favor. **Original Webtoon:** [JumpToon](https://jumptoon.com/series/JT00018/), [Cmoa](https://www.cmoa.jp/title/306934/)

Layla Ashbury, the Duke’s daughter, has been sleeping for two years. When she woke up, the first thing she learned was that her fiancé, the crown prince, was about to marry her younger sister, Rose. Her parents excused themselves, saying that the Royal Family insisted on marrying into their family, and in the end, it was her younger sister Rose who won. Although it was only a political marriage, Layla truly loved the crown prince; but now her only option was to marry someone else and see her little sister be happy with him. At the end of her rehabilitation treatment, Layla was able to walk around her house and it was at this point that she decided to enter a monastery on the outskirts of the Imperial Capital, which was famous for “denying access to anyone who wishes to enter”. One day, without telling her parents or the servants themselves about her whereabouts, Layla escapes from her home. But on her way, Layla is caught in the middle of the road by the heavy rain. And at that moment a young wizard appeared, whom she recognized as a famous person, and extended a hand to help her when he saw her deplorable state. A dreamy love story, which begins with the escape of the Duke’s daughter after a heartbreak.
