Mio Imada is a popular Japanese model/actress who starred in the live-action version of My Happy Marriage based on a popular manga series of the same name. The film takes place in an alternative reality where spirits and magic are real, but in decline, Miyo (Imada) is born without supernatural talent and is forced into an existence of servitude by her abusive stepmother. When Miyo finally comes of marriageable age, her hopes of being whisked away to a better life crumble after she discovers her fiancé is Kiyoka Kudou (Ren Meguro), 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 handsome 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.

Imada’s other credits include the Japanese series Boys Over Flowers, Trillion Game, and the upcoming film, The Swan and the Bat.
