Currency needs a wife. He has to get married. And it just so happens that his organization's accountant is in debt to them for a lot of money. The man offers his daughter, Koi, as a sacrificial lamb and Currency wants to accept. But what about what Koi wants?

So I love a crime family arranged marriage. It gives me mob movie vibes and those are my favorites. So I went into this feeling pretty positive about it. I felt for Koi's situation. Her dad made me angry. I like the way Currency was determined to make his marriage mutually satisfying and sought to keep Koi happy. Currency was a pretty good character, stood on business about his wife and her happiness. Watching them grow together was pretty good, even though Koi was so young it was hard for me to not feel weird about her being taken advantage of the way she was, whether Currency was a good guy or not. The family names got a little corny after a while, but she does say in the afterword that her son came up with them, so I guess. There were a lot of errors and some inconsistencies in the writing, and that took away from it a bit. Overall, entertaining enough.
