Matsurika Kou is pretty content with her modest rise in position from a low rank palace maid to an official within the inner palace of Hakurou country. One day her boss asks her to take part in a practice marriage interview in place of a co-worker who got sick. During that fateful meeting, the wheels of fate will begin to turn...


Matsurika, a female officer in the Inner Palace, had a little special skill, and that was "a better memory" than others. One day, she accepted a request to become a practice partner for a marriage meeting of a certain son of a distinguished family. However, the one who appeared was the Emperor, Hakuyou, who wanted to try having a marriage meeting?! And interested in Matsurika's special skill, Hakuyou even said, "For now, go and pass the civil exam"...?!
