Sayo was born into the family of Kannagi, a shrine maiden who uses her powerful supernatural powers to please the gods, but her powers are weak and she is persecuted by her stepmother and sister, and eventually sold off to a Shojo in another world. There, Sayo meets the ugly and hated god Hozuki, but what does he look like in Sayo's eyes...?
A cursed god and an exiled girl... their meeting was inevitable! A top-class Taisho-era fantasy filled with romance and doting love!!
