      The Probability I Can Kill My Wife Without Found Being Out Synopsis:
      “I may kill you and take all the money you’ve to inherit for myself. Even so, are you alright with me?”

      When we were done with the marriage, those words I nonchalantly tossed at her. For a moment, she made a face of surprise, before smiling as she assented.

      “That’s fine. It’s only a matter if I can get you to fall before that, right?”

      Her challenging words somehow made her out as a gallant warrior, making me open my eyes wide for a second. And within the day, I had inputted, ‘the probability I can kill my wife without being found out,’ into my glasses. After entering that simple question, the wearable terminal took in various affairs, computed to a precise value of them, and output a probability.

      ‘The Probability I Can Kill My Wife Without Being Found Out’

      ‘0.061%’

      A Game to Make Fall Synopsis:
      Born to a house where women were only seen as tools to birth children, I was already in my twenties. I was standing on the crossroads of life.

      At my fingertips were close to fifty photos of different men. They were the marriage partner candidates my father had prepared.

      Those who took the initiative and volunteered because they wanted his company, and those that were recommended to strengthen our ties with other companies. There were various reasons, but I was to marry one, and build up a child.

      That was my reason for existence in this house.

      I don’t think I can love another.

      I wonder how everyone believes in something so shapeless as love. It was only a marvel to me.

      That I couldn’t do something any standard person could must be because I was a person who was never properly loved.

      I put a break on the countless unanswered questions I held since my birth, and stared down at the photos around me.

      That I chose him was truly a coincidence.

      Why:
      The two stories are alternating perspectives of an arranged marriage between a husband who wants to kill his wife and a wife who bets that she could make her husband fall in love. Very short stories that invokes both heartwarming and tearjerking feels. Completed Series. I believe it was an either a combined novel or two very short volumes.

      Plus, it's one of the earlier works from the author of Cross-Dressing Villainess Cecilia Sylivie so others who are interested in her work would definitely check this out.

          @rmkelly The volume is a collection of short stories framed around the same prediction system used in the original short short story, 'The Probability I Can Kill My Wife Without Being Found Out'. Essentially, it's a device that can calculate the probability of anything. The short story is only the first 40 pages.

          The table of contents is as follows:
          The Probability I can Kill My Wife Without Being Found Out
          The Probability that Girl Will Get on the Same Train as Me
          The Probability the World Will End Tomorrow
          The Probability He Will Leave His Wife
          The Probability that a Girl Will Fall from the Sky
          The Probability that my Daughter Will Get a Boyfriend
          The Probability that I will be Alone Forever
          Picture of TOC
          Book Cover

          I'm holding the book in my hands, but I haven't read it in a while. I don't remember if 'A Game to Make Him Fall' is included under a different title, but I don't think so. It definitely doesn't have 'Sakura-Colored Antimony'.

            @Roy-Nukia Oh, that's neat. I didn't know that. So I should be recommending the volume collection then.

              @rmkelly Nah, it's just one book as far as I'm aware. Never became a series, just a short story collection.
