Agitogi and Tsukioka launched the novel series in January 2019. The novels' fifth volume shipped in July 2021. Yen Press licensed the light novels, and it describes the story:
Born to a noble family, Miyo is raised by her abusive stepmother and married off to Kiyoka, a soldier so heartless his prior fiancées fled within three days into their engagement. With no home to return to, Miyo slowly starts to open her heart to her cold and pale husband-to-be, despite their rocky introduction... This might just be her chance at finding true love and happiness.
The manga debuted on Square Enix's Gangan Online website in December 2018. The manga's third compiled book volume shipped in Japan on October 12. Square Enix Manga & Books licensed Agitogi, Tsukioka, and Rito Kohsaka's My Happy Marriage manga adaptation of the light novel series, and it will launch it physically and digitally on June 21.
