The original My Happy Marriage light novels are written by Akumi Agitogi, illustrated by Tsukiho Tsukioka, and published in Japan by Fujimi Shobo under their Fujimi L Bunko imprint. An English language version of the series is also available from Yen Press, who describe the story as follows:

 

IS THIS MARRIAGE A BLESSING? OR A CURSE?

 

​Born talentless to a noble family famous for their supernatural abilities, Miyo Saimori is forced into an existence of servitude by her abusive stepmother. When Miyo finally comes of marriageable age, though, her hopes of being whisked away to a better life crumble after she discovers her fiancé’s identity: Kiyoka Kudou, a commander apparently so cold and cruel that his previous would-be brides all fled within three days of their engagements. With no home to return to, Miyo resigns herself to her fate—and soon finds that her pale and beautiful husband-to-be is anything but the monster she expected. As they slowly open their hearts to each other, both realize the other may be their chance at finding true love and happiness.

Kiyoka wears a long winter coat, while Miyo wears a cloak and scarf over her kimono and carrys a red paper parasol. In the snow-covered background, street lamps, trees, and the gates to a palatial estate are visible.
