On her seventeenth birthday, Riko Amano's life crumbled along with her father's debts. The enormous debt her father's company was burdened with came from the Midoji family, a vampire dynasty unknown to humans. In exchange for repayment, they demanded Riko's own life. On the stage of a masquerade ball, Riko was made to stand before a list of creditors and handed over to Midoji Ryo as the "bride of the contract." With all eyes in the venue on him, Ryo took Riko's hand and quietly said, "I'm sorry, but I can't have you dying." Riko would soon understand the meaning of those words. Ryo was under a curse. Once every hundred years, a woman he trusted would appear, and that woman would inevitably be murdered on her eighteenth birthday. This tragedy had already repeated itself three times. Riko was the fourth one. Trapped within the cage of her contract, Riko begins to notice the past memories sleeping within her—a strange sense of déjà vu, as if she has seen the same night as Ryo countless times. The time limit is the next birthday. The fate of death is approaching, and my heart is drawing closer. If I fall in love, it might only mean the same tragedy will repeat itself.
