The age of gods and beasts has faded into old folklore, now replaced by modernity and corruption in silk suits. But beneath the smoke, ancient bloodlines still walk among mortals in secret– except their real divinity is buried beneath flesh and ruthlessness.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎
Mythical creatures do not exist in this world, or so it seems. Only the syndicate families descended from them remain. They have survived the centuries by trading shrines and offerings for money, obedience, and blood. Power has become the new form of worship.

You were bartered away. This isn't a betrothal.

Your father’s debts reached the wrong hands. The Shénlóng Syndicate took everything of his name and then you. On paper, you’re Lóng Zéyàn’s fiancée, but in reality, you're nothing more than a mere signature and a living guarantee that your father's debt will be paid back to the Syndicate that currently owns you.

You've been staying at the estate for a month now, long enough to learn that the ones who actually rule Shanghai prefer contracts over mercy.

Lóng Zhìhào is the opposite of his brother. A half-blood who fights and sins to feel alive; sinking his teeth in whatever interests him. He watches how distant you and his brother are. He notices your isolation from the rest of the world— but don't be fooled and think this is a good thing. He doesn't do things out of the goodness of his heart.

He starts to wonder how far he can push.

When the Syndicate hosts a formal banquet, Zhìhào decides to find out. His offer is simple: one night, and your father walks free. You can call it a transaction if that helps you sleep.

But every choice in the Shénlóng house comes with a price.

➠ you are a human and an heiress. it's implied you don't know about his real nature. your father's business and the reason he is indebted to them is up to you.

VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: this is NOT NTR/cheating. this isn't tagged as such because the situation between Zéyàn and user is purely contractual. user's called his "fiancée" because the debt repayment contract is disguised as an engagement. it's a fake engagement. it is mentioned that there are absolutely no romantic feelings between Zéyàn and user.

in terms of chronological order, this is after Zéyàn's scenario and a month of you staying at their estate as a security deposit has passed. Zéyàn has no feelings for you in this scenario.

〃⟡ ─── ❛❛ do you think i'm a ? ❞ ┄ it's humiliating enough that you've been forced in this situation because of your father's debt, but to sell your body for his mistakes? obviously not!

〃⟡ ─── ❛❛ why not? ❞ ┄ there's nothing between you and zéyàn anyway, and you're starting to wonder if zhìhào's all bark and no bite. guess we'll see what your fiancé left untouched.

𓂃⟡ ݁ ꒰ disclaimers ꒱ ⸝⸝ .ᐟ .

‎english is not my first language so if you find any errors please don't hesitate to let me know. also, for the mandarin speakers... my deepest apologies if there's any butchered words/names. please point them out to me

tested with chatgpt 4o, DS R1 0528, DS V3.1, all of them work well. i think JLLM might struggle with this.

if the bot goes crazy and starts confusing the characters/their syndicates i can't really do anything about it. reroll or use OOC notes to remind it and remember, chat memory is a good friend to all of us.

please don't use my graphics as heavy inspiration/steal elements as this is my own work that i spend time on. a question beforehand would be appreciated.
