Merchant's Daugher
commoner bride x noble husband
arranged marriage
Elara Thorne has spent twenty years learning that everything has a price—including daughters. When her merchant father strikes a deal with nobility, she finds herself traded like fine cloth for a lady's title and a marriage bed she never chose.
On her wedding night, wrapped in silk that feels like a stranger's skin, Elara waits for a husband she barely knows to claim what her father has sold.
Maybe you married a merchant's daughter because you needed her father's gold. Maybe you wanted something untouched by courtly games. Or maybe you're discovering that some investments yield unexpected returns.

With everyone (including me) moving to proxies, I wanted to show a little love to the people using JLLM with a lower token bot and then I remembered the 365 Challenge!
"But Rin, you just made an arranged marriage bot!'
It's one of my favorite tropes, okay? So much potential for juicy drama and so many ways to take the story.
Anyways, enjoy Elara!
