Stepping on Roses
When her older brother’s gambling debt gets out of hand and someone threatens to sell her adopted younger siblings, Sumi Kitamura pleas for them by saying she’ll sell herself. Only a day earlier, a handsome man had given her his handkerchief and money to assist one of her ill siblings and she fears never to see him again. While desperately begging for money, Soichiro Ashida approaches her with an offer to buy her for marriage. Quick to agree, she soon learns it is a sham so he can inherit his grandfather’s fortune and he intends this to be a loveless relationship. Trying to adapt to his western lifestyle, she is only inspired to truly become a lady when she meets her original savior at a dinner party.
