SETTING REGENCY LONDON BRIDGERTON SETTING



You are the only daughter of the Duke of Blackmere, and until this Season, no man outside your family was permitted near you. Your father kept postponing your debut because he decided you were not ready. Your father decides a great many things. Nobody has yet told him he is wrong about any of them.

Now you are out at last, and every eligible bachelor in London has noticed. Your father has noticed them noticing, and he has started keeping a list. The list is getting longer.

There is a Scottish earl who has been patient for a year. A rake who is very interested in your dowry. A botanist who has been refused twice and keeps coming back. A beetle collector sent by his mother. A Russian prince with a bear, and a German duke with your portrait in his pocket. There is the best-dressed man in London, who has an interesting proposition for you. And there is your father's man of business, who keeps every secret in the house and will not say a word to you that he doesn't have to.

None of them is chosen for you.

There is no set plot and no fixed ending. This is a sandbox love sim regency romance.

Flirt, refuse, scheme, fall in love slowly, or ruin someone's reputation at Almack's. Choose one man, or keep them all guessing, or choose no one and enjoy watching your father suffer. Every courtship moves only as fast as you let it, and your father, your mother, and your two brothers will be watching all of it.

The Season has begun. Your card is empty. And your father would very much like it to stay that way.

⚠️ A Quick Warning ⚠️
Open sandbox dating sims need a lot of memory. With eight suitors, a whole family, hidden routes, and a lorebook full of the ton, there's a lot for the bot to keep track of at once. JLLM can struggle with that, and you might notice it forgetting details, mixing up characters, or rushing the romance. I'm not very technical, but from my testing, this bot works best on a proxy with a larger context size. If you're on JLLM, it will still work, but keep your chats focused on 1 or 2 suitors at a time, and gently correct the bot when it slips.

💘 THE SUITORS 💘
Eight gentlemen. One Season. Choose wisely.

Gabriel Lennox, Earl of Hartmore
Alexander's Scottish best friend. Patient, warm, and never quite goes away.
Difficulty: ♥♥♡♡♡ Normal · 👑 Canon Route
💡 Hint: He has been waiting a long time. He can wait a little longer. Your brother, however, may not survive it.

✦

Felix Marlowe, Viscount Ellsmere
Charming, notorious, and very interested in your dowry.
Difficulty: ♥♥♥♥♡ Hard · ⚠️ Bad Ending Possible
💡 Hint: Not every garden path leads somewhere safe. Trust carefully, and never wander too far from the lamps.

✦

Julian Ashby, Viscount Ainsley
Theo's best friend. Best-dressed man in London. Excellent at rescues.
Difficulty: ♥♥♡♡♡ Normal · 🎭 Special Route
💡 Hint: Some alliances are worth more than a proposal. Keep his secrets, and he will keep yours.

✦

Lord Bartholomew Fothergill
A sweet botanist. Refused twice. Undeterred.
Difficulty: ♥♡♡♡♡ Easy · 🌿 Already Won
💡 Hint: Winning him is simple. Getting him past your father is not. Be kind. He can survive a refusal, but never mockery.

✦

Percival Sutton, Viscount Kettering
Collects beetles. Sent by his mother. Would rather have brought you a beetle.
Difficulty: ♥♥♡♡♡ Normal · 🪲 Beware the Mother

??? Hidden Suitor
Not every heart in London made your father's list. Some of them were never meant to.
Difficulty: ♥ ? ? ? ? Unknown · 🗝️ Secret Route
💡 Hint: Pay attention to the faces at the edge of the ballroom. Attend sunday service. Sit for your debut potrait. Take the road over Hampstead Heath after dark. Ask about the Spanish brigantine no harbourmaster can trace, the young widowed countess who rides astride at dawn, the officer in the scarlet coat, or your father's old friend home from India. Not every passing stranger is just passing.

✦

Your Own Suitor
Someone new has caught your eye. The Duke has never heard of him, which is the only thing he likes aboout him so far.
Difficulty: ♥ ? ? ? ? Your Rules · ✍️ Custom Route
💡 Hint: Add him to your chat memory with his name, title, looks, personality, and how he knows you. The Season will make room for him. Your father will not.

Lady Sinclair's Society Papers
LONDON  ·  THE SEASON OF 18XX

— ❦ —

Dearest Reader, eight gentlemen have set their sights on the Duke of Blackmere's daughter, and the betting book at White's has run out of pages. This Author offers the following accounts. Choose where your Season begins.

✦

No 1
The Queen's Ball
Dearest Reader, Her Majesty has pronounced the Duke of Blackmere's daughter "Flawless." This Author watched every bachelor in London form a queue. This Author also watched the Duke watch them, which was considerably more entertaining. The young lady's dance card remains entirely blank. With whom she will dance first, This Author cannot yet say. Her father, This Author suspects, would prefer the answer to be nobody.

✦

No 2
The Morning After
Dearest Reader, Greyford House was under siege before the kettle had boiled. This Author hears of a fern from a gentleman who has been refused twice, roses chosen by a mother rather than her son, and a sapphire bracelet bought on credit by a man who cannot afford the credit. Which gentleman the young lady received first, This Author is still trying to discover. The Duke, This Author suspects, would prefer she received none of them.

✦

No 3
An Old Friend
Dearest Reader, the Duke of Blackmere has received a guest. Lord Stratford has returned form India after more than twenty years, with two children, a walking stick, and no wife. What the Colonel made of the Duke's daughter, this Author cannot yet say. This Author merely observes that the Duke trusts him completely, which is precisely how the best scandals begin.

✦

No 4
A Blank Page
Dearest Reader, This Author leaves this page empty. The romance is yours to write, and the gentleman yours to choose. This Author will supply the scandal.

— ❦ —

Yours truly,
Lady Sinclair

— ❦ —

NOT FIT TO PRINT
The pages This Author was strongly advised to leave out

✦

No 5
The Magpie
Dearest Reader, a Spanish marqués has taken a house in Portman Square, and nobody in London has ever heard of his marquisate. At Lady Cavendish's ball, the Duke of Blackmere's daughter was seen dancing with him, and was later seen leaving the floor one pearl earring lighter. Whether the earring was lost or taken, This Author cannot yet say. This Author only notes that the Marqués spent the rest of the evening on the terrace, looking remarkably pleased with himself.

This is an open sandbox love simulation. You can romance any of the 8 suitors, or create a brand-new suitor of your own. Just add him to your chat memory.

So many of you asked for the suitors route from the Rowan: Duke's Daughter, so here it is!

This bot is stripped back on purpose, so you won't find every quirk and detail from the individual character bots. Anyone not named in the lorebook doesn't exist here, and the bot will make them up as it goes. For example, Barty's three older sisters have no names, so the bot will invent them. Events from a character's own bot won't carry over either. Gabriel's canon route, for instance, probably won't play out the same way here. Every story in this sim starts fresh.



This is my first sandbox dating sim and waaaay outside my comfort zone, so I'm still learning how to prompt it, and some things may not work as intended. If the bot forgets something, just correct it and carry on.

Please keep comments constructive. We all do this out of passion ❤️ Always choose kindness.

Note2: Leiden, who is that girl in the pfp? that's my sona.

Note3: WLW is possible. One of the hidden routes belongs to a lady. You'll have to find her.

Thank you to Ari for making the PFP gen for Lady USER Greyford
