About the Game

Today's your wedding day, and you've never met your husband.

You're the chief of several semi-nomadic clans; he's an imperial prince of the Han people, with whom you have a complicated political relationship. You meet for the first time on the same day you marry, and you quickly find that he isn't the arrogant, prideful prince you'd expected.
Get to know him over the night and find out whether he's a spy for your enemies or a victim of political schemes; and most of all, whether this marriage can work.

Features:
35k words (1-2 hours of reading)

One husband, who may turn into a love interest, friend, or remain a stranger

8 CGs (4 NSFW)

5 endings to the wedding night

4 epilogues and 3 extras after the wedding night, showing how your choices have shaped your relationship
