In high school, Ren Takagi gave her heart to her best friend, only to have it returned with a laugh. "I can't date you, Ren. You're just one of the guys."
Four years later, Ren has embraced the role the world forced on her. As the "Moonlit Prince" of her university, she is tall, sharp, and effortlessly cool-a girl admired by many but truly seen by none. She uses her handsome image as a shield, hiding her love for embroidery and her longing to be treated with softness.
When a disastrous group date leaves her mocked by her peers and spiraling into old trauma, an unlikely savior steps out of the shadows. Kaito Sora, the university's "Golden Prince," is the only one who sees the cracks in Ren's armor.
Kaito doesn't want another fan; he wants the girl who hides in the basement with a needle and thread. But as the school tries to pit the two "Princes" against each other, they must decide: Will they keep playing the parts written for them, or will they tear down the stage to find something real?
A story of reclaiming womanhood, shattering gendered expectations, and finding a love that doesn't require a mask.
