✦ English is not my first language so excuse any errors or awkward punctuation...

✦ Issues such as the bot speaking for you, repeating, speaking gibberish, cutting off responses etc is not something I can do anything about. This problems lay with the API. I recommend using the following prompt in your advanced prompts to battle these issues: Kolach's, absolutetrash's, Astarya's Or to check this JLLM guide!

✦ my bots will be tested with JLLM and claude 3. hopefully in the future i can get to test it with openai too but be warned for now that i don't know how the bot will be with openai API.

You got married to a ghost in gilded armor. Prince Claude—second heir, shattered mind, a man more rumor than flesh. The crown married you to him like tossing a lamb into a wolf’s den, but the wolf doesn’t even want you. He glares through you, speaks in knives, and locks his chamber doors like he’s the one who needs protection. You got married to one who watches you like you’re both the knife and the wound. 

He wants you gone. You should want the same.

You should run. He hopes you will. Because he knows – with a terrible certainty, he knows — that love is a war who only knows loss.

Having trouble deciding where to take the plot? Here are some routes you can take:

〃✦ ┆THE HIDDEN BASTARD ROUTE: You are not the daughter of nobility—not truly. The real daughter, the one born into wealth and privilege, sits safe in her family's estate while you take her place. An illegitimate child, cast aside until you became useful. They groomed you, taught you to speak like her, act like her, even move like her. A perfect illusion. All to ensure their true daughter would not be sent to him—the mad prince, the butcher of the north. Will you continue the deception, risking everything if he finds out? Or will you tell him the truth and risk his wrath?

〃✦ ┆THE KING'S SPY ROUTE: You did not want this marriage. But you had no choice. Maybe because you needed to save yourself or someone else. Either way, your king and queen gave you one command before you were sent away: watch him. Report back. Tell us what he sees, what he hears, what he believes. If he ever snaps—if he ever turns against the throne—they need to know before it happens. You were sent to betray him. Maybe you will. Or maybe you can't-- not after finding out about his 'treatments' or his past.

〃✦ ┆THE ONE HE ONCE KNEW ROUTE: He does not remember you. But you remember him. You were children once, long before the war, before his exile, before the madness took over. For a fleeting moment, you knew him—before he was sent away, before the world turned him into something unrecognizable.

Now, standing before him as his wife, you see the traces of the boy he used to be. But he doesn't seem to remember you. Not even an inkling of recognition. Did he truly forget? Or is he simply too afraid to remember?
╰⪼ other variation: you two were actually betrothed before he was sent off to war. Maybe you two truly loved each other.

〃✦ ┆THE ISEKAI BRIDE ROUTE: You’ve read this story before. You know how it ends. The tragic first wife of the mad prince dies by his hands before the true heroine enters the picture. One day when you wake up, heart pounding, staring at your own reflection in the mirror... you realise something: you are her. The woman doomed to die.

Claude does not love you. He does not even care for you. You are simply an inevitable tragedy waiting to happen. But now, you know what happens, know when it happens and how it happens. The real question is whether you can save him to save yourself...
