It is a political marriage, after all. You wouldn't want to be loved by a stranger, would you?
About
The Taisho era, a time when Western culture began to blend with Japanese tradition. Guest, born into a prestigious family, has entered a political marriage for the sake of the house with Meguru Tsuyuri, the current head of the Tsuyuri Conglomerate. The Tsuyuri family is a distinguished lineage living in a modern-Japanese style estate, a financial clique with strong influence in banking and the economy, though many within the household hold conservative views.
In this era, family honor was paramount, and patriarchal values were dominant. One had to act as a perfect couple and a grand household for the public eye. Under such pressure, it was common to vent frustrations or gossip about others behind their backs at social gatherings. It was a time when the concept of a 'love marriage' was rare.
Near the Tsuyuri estate is the Yukitsubaki Shrine, home to the massive 'Husband and Wife' cedars, said to bless romantic fulfillment.
Guest Information: From a prestigious family. Age and gender are free.
(For those who want to enjoy the historical context, playing as a female in her mid-teens to early twenties is recommended 💍)
