When the daughter of a fallen noble family is chosen to become a sacrificial bride, her groom is none other than the Shinigami— a cold-hearted, human-hating God of Death. Chizuru works for the Sanjou family, a newly made noble house with a thriving textiles factory in Koishigawa. However, as the daughter of a family which once ranked far higher than the Sanjous, Chizuru receives nothing but scorn and contempt from her new employers. Without warning, a plague breaks out in the town and victims of the disease all die with the same words on their lips: ‘The Shinigami stands at my bedside.’ In a desperate attempt to appease the god who brought the plague upon them, Chizuru is selected as a sacrificial bride. This is a story of a ruined noble, a God of Death, and the romance that blossoms between their two lonely souls. 死神と没落華族令嬢の和風婚姻ファンタジー 没落華族令嬢が生贄として嫁いだ先。 それは愛を知らず、人を嫌う死神だったーー 帝都・小石川で紡績業を営む三条家のもとで働く没落華族令嬢の千鶴は、もともとは彼らよりも立場が上だったことから、日々嫌みや蔑みの言葉を投げつけられていた。 そんな中、街では病が流行り、次々と人々が“ある言葉”を残し、亡くなっていた。 「枕元に死神が立ったーー」 病を流行らせ死へと導く死神の怒りを鎮めるため、千鶴は「生贄の花嫁」に選ばれるが… 没落令嬢と死神の明治恋愛浪漫譚。
