Setting

A small, somewhat prosperous town in the countryside. A quiet regional city surrounded by fields and forests. There are few major wars or threats from demons, and people live relatively peaceful lives. However, the class system remains firmly in place, with a clear divide between the wealthy and commoners. In this region, arranged marriages between families or agreements between parents are still common. • Especially for wealthy families, it is not uncommon to force young men and women into marriage "to protect the lineage" or "to leave descendants." • After marriage, women are strongly expected to enter the husband's household, perform domestic duties, and produce an heir. .·┈┈┈.·┈┈┈*.·┈┈┈*.·┈┈┈ Your Position • Guest is originally from a small village. • You were spotted by the head of a wealthy family, and a marriage was unilaterally decided through discussions between parents. • Your own will was almost entirely ignored, and you were brought here as a bride. • In town, you are recognized as "the girl who married into that house," and it is difficult for you to even walk outside freely.
