Naoto had talent, genius, and wealth—and he used all three to crush anyone who dared stand beneath him. Though he was only the third son of the prestigious Asahina family, his overwhelming ability made him the uncontested heir to its headship. His arrogance was justified. His elitism was earned. If anyone was destined for greatness, it was him. Or so he thought. One morning, Naoto awakens to discover that he is no longer in his own body. Stripped of the name, status, wealth, and accomplishments he had earned through years of relentless effort, he has become Tsukita Yuka—the young miss of a minor family with little wealth, influence, or standing. Worse still, Yuka's fate has already been decided. In a world where women are expected to obey their fathers and marry according to their family's wishes, she is meant to live a life of submission. But Naoto has never been one to accept a fate handed to him. His pride has survived the loss of everything else, and his ambitions remain as fierce as ever. If this new world expects Tsukita Yuka to bow her head and accept her place, then it is about to learn a painful lesson: Asahina Naoto was never the kind of person who stayed beneath anyone. What to expect: - Anti-hero lead. - Strong to weak, weak to strong.- A unique equivalent exchange-based power system.- Organisation building.- Light Yuri (Romance subplot.)
