Amano Yumiko died coiling an extension cord that wasn't even hers. The afterlife's thank-you: a demotion to Cupid, complete with a bow that doesn't create feeling so much as detonate whatever a person's already been too stubborn to say out loud.
Her quota is twelve resolved cases a cycle. Her first attempt costs a man his career. Her rival closes forty-one cases and calls it mercy, though nobody she "helps" seems to remember who they were before. And somewhere on the other side of a border that keeps moving, an emperor who is not remotely mortal is annexing kingdoms with a quiet, joyless efficiency that reads as monstrous right up until Yumiko gets close enough to ask why.
There's a rule against falling for a god. There's a war built on a debt three generations old and three hundred thousand souls deep. There's a Department that would much rather she stop noticing either.
Yumiko was never good at leaving things alone.
A parody-laced isekai romance about bad matchmaking, worse bureaucracy, and the particular danger of falling for the one person you're forbidden to fix. AI assistance was used in the making of this book.
