Portrayed by: Mio Imada^[4] (live-action film)

Miyo is a kind-hearted and beautiful 19-year-old young woman who is the eldest daughter of the Saimori family. Seemingly born without any supernatural talent, though in truth her supernatural talents were in slumber due to reasons, but following the unusual death of her birth mother, Sumi, she had a very traumatic upbringing as she was relentlessly and abusively treated like a servant by her vile and jealous stepmother and arrogant and pompous younger half-sister, while her own father deemed her to be useless and never showed her love (like he never showed love to his first wife, Sumi) or protected her from the abuse. Years later, Miyo's father had her married off to Kiyoka Kudou, a "ruthless soldier" and the head of the famous Kudou family, just so she can be "at least much useful" to both him and the Saimoris.

When Miyo got along with Kiyoka, Kiyoka revealed that the actual reasons why his previous fiancées fled after only three days due to his fierce and righteously intimidating demeanor is because of them either being madly obsessed in being with him and his home, or desperate for both luxurious living and his family's wealth. But when his informants revealed what had given Miyo a prolonged stressful and traumatic upbringing, as well as Miyo's kidnapping later on, Kiyoka exposed the Saimori Family's actions and sins, yet it resulted their home destroyed and left to ruin, while Kaya along with Minoru Tatsuishi (One of the people responsible for the kidnapping incident) were arrested, and Miyo's father and abusive and vile stepmother (who is also one of the people involved in the kidnapping incident) were exiled into the countryside for their actions.
