Viz Media publishes the manga in English, and it describes the story:

On the surface, Satoko has it all—she's beautiful, the daughter of a nobleman, and at a prime age for marriage. Unfortunately, she is also quite ill and only has a short time left to live. Before she can secure a marriage that will redeem her worth in her family's eyes, she finds herself the target of the mysterious assassin Shinpei, and her plans are put in jeopardy. In order to save herself, she makes a desperate proposal—of marriage! When it comes to love, however, Shinpei takes “until death do we part” seriously.

Tachibana launched the manga on Shogakukan's Manga ONE app in January 2023, and Shogakukan published the 13th compiled book volume on October 19.

The manga is also inspiring a live-action television adaptation that is slated to debut in 2027.
