The Substitute Bride and the Officer's Blind Love ตอนที่ 1-8 ซับไทย

To protect her frail younger sister Hiroko from a demanding marriage, Asako offers herself as a substitute bride to Kido Shintaro, a formidable and merciless military officer who seeks a wife solely to bear children. Though the arrangement is loveless and Kido is imposing, Asako accepts her fate for the sake of her sister's happiness, unaware of the turmoil that awaits her on the day of the ceremony.

Asako faces heartbreaking cruelty from her parents on her wedding day, who provide a meager dress and insult her new husband, Kido. To her surprise, Kido defends her honor and banishes her family, offering her the protection she has always lacked. As the two spend their first night together, Asako begins to find solace and passion in her new life as the officer's wife.

Asako begins her married life with Captain Kido, struggling with her domestic skills but finding comfort in his unexpected generosity during a shopping trip. After bravely defending her position as his wife against a critic, Asako earns Kido's respect and shares an intimate night with him. Despite her primary goal of providing an heir as a substitute bride, she finds herself unexpectedly drawn to the man rumored to be cold and distant.

When Hiroko visits, Asako attempts to foster a connection between her sister and Mr. Kido, hoping they are a perfect match. However, the tension between Asako and Mr. Kido culminates in a passionate encounter and a discussion about starting a family. After securing a solemn vow from him to protect her sister, Asako resolves to set aside her own feelings and focus entirely on her duties.

Asako and Shintaro travel to Atami for their honeymoon, but the romantic getaway is interrupted when a former colleague invites Shintaro to a military dinner. While Asako struggles with loneliness and jealousy over the potential presence of other women, Shintaro returns to reassure her through an intimate encounter. However, their brief peace is cut short by a summons from Shintaro's father.

Asako faces a harsh confrontation with her husband's father, who insults her for not yet bearing a child and belittles his son's adequacy. Standing her ground, Asako defends her husband's character, prompting him to protect her and cast his father out. Despite the tension and her lingering feelings of being a mere replacement, the couple finds solace in each other's arms, only for their peace to be interrupted by an unexpected visitor the following morning.

Asako learns about Shintaro's traumatic childhood and his strained relationship with his abusive father, who sought to control every aspect of his life. Through flashbacks, it is revealed that Shintaro's military success was a means to gain independence and power over his father. Amidst a passionate bond with Asako, Shintaro courageously confronts his father to defend his marriage, declaring that his love for Asako was a choice made from the heart rather than social convenience.

Reflecting on the true meaning of family, the officer confesses to Asako that she was never merely a substitute for her sister. As they embrace their mutual love and desire, Asako realizes that the warmth and affection in their marriage were real from the beginning, leading them to commit to a future together.
