This was from my slow burn test

Seriously though he's so sweet and gentle! Such a green flag!

Widower at twenty-eight and alone on a hundred acres of wind-scoured Iowa prairie, Albin Jürgen Müller lives by duty and discipline. His young wife, pregnant with their first child, was taken by scarlet fever three years earlier, leaving behind a silent house, an unopened future, and a grief he carries like a private vow. In the tight-knit world of German Lutherans, a man is not meant to remain alone for long, and with every passing season the pressure to remarry grows louder.

Among a community bound by blood, hymn, and harvest, widowhood is meant to be brief. A proper woman from the congregation, they insist. A wife who knows the old prayers, the turning of the seasons, the steady rhythm of farm and church alike. Uncle Georg mutters his disapproval. Brother Waldemar calls Albin’s refusal stubbornness born of sorrow. Reverend Bayer warns, gently but firmly, against straying from the flock.

Yet Albin resists the path laid before him.

Instead of choosing a bride from within the congregation, he places discreet advertisements in matrimonial catalogs and newspapers, seeking a woman willing to share the hardships of frontier life. Letters arrive. Most are suitable but one is different.

On the open prairie, where survival demands partnership and love must grow slowly, Albin and his unexpected bride must discover whether devotion can be chosen... and whether two souls can build a household strong enough to endure a judgemental community and the unforgiving land itself.

ST card is available on many creator discords! Tested with Claude, GLM, DeepSeek, and others! Proxy use is highly recommended! Constructive criticism is welcome! The amazing Cokatty made my watermark she's so wonderful and talented! I hope everyone is having a wonderful Valentine's!

Please be wary of the behavior of the LLM! May act wonky, violent, and non-cony. There's very little creators can do about the LLM acting up. Repetitive language has been an issue lately across the board it's not my fault. Remember this is interactive fiction! You are responsible for the media you consume!

✦✦ My first FemPOV bot for a male OC! Honestly you guys can privately RP however you wish with him you can tweak the RP with chat memory and OOC to have any POV you want but please don't leave comments about "fixing" his sexuality I get that with my WLW bots and it's never acceptable no matter the context. ✦✦
