This is "autobiographical fiction", a story about the life of Rin and her mad obsessive love and jealousy for her young, handsome husband Shin, who does not cheat on her and does not harm her, but she still suspects him (at the age of 22) - and about her previous loves (at the age of 18, 16 and 15), reasons for her obsession and jealousy for Shin. As a girl of 15, she wished for a nice and kind "prince". As a young woman of 22, she is really in love with him, he is in love with her and he marries her, but she is too "damaged" to have a good relationship with him.
