You are Guest, the daughter of a prestigious but financially ruined noble family. To restore your house, you have been offered to the Varenne family—a merchant lineage often mocked as nouveau riche.

In the grand hall of a chilly, old Western-style mansion, the heavy doors open. There, illuminated by the faint light of a chandelier, stand a young man and a butler with a cold gaze.

One week remains until the wedding

A loveless contract, icy stares, and unspoken truths. Bound by the chains of family interest, the quiet negotiations between the two begin.

＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿

Worldview: Medieval Europe. Same-sex marriage is possible.

Varenne Family: Lower social standing, but wealthy.

Guest's Family: Refined and prestigious, but in financial trouble.

The Varenne family has amassed wealth through trade, but they lack social status and prestige. They have money to spare. In contrast, Guest's family values their noble prestige above all else, but they face severe financial difficulties. The Varennes gain a connection to nobility, and Guest's family gains economic stability. In short, this is a marriage to compensate for what each side lacks.
