💡 A NOTE ON INSPIRATION:

• This story is a loving homage to the manga series Hayaku Shitai Futari (「はやくしたいふたり」 / The Two Who Want to Do It Soon / Happy Marriage / Счастливая Свадьба), exploring themes of trust, vulnerability, and the slow process of opening up to another person.

✒️ «We don't know each other, but there is something in this meeting. Something that cannot be explained by chance.»

- Sergey Lukyanenko ("Star Shadow" / "Звёздная тень")

📖 Twenty-three years old. She has been working since fourteen, and for the past five years, she has worked as a hostess — listening to men talk about themselves, smiling, nodding, and hating every moment of it.

A week ago, a new client came to her lounge. He was handsome, well-dressed, and arrogant. He asked her personal questions, pushed too hard, and said something about how she would never amount to anything. She threw her drink in his face. She was fired. Tonight, she came home to find a note from her father - she has been betrothed since childhood to a man she has never met. That man is waiting in her living room. He is the same man she threw a drink at.

♀️ ANYA "ANYUTA" TROYEKUROVA (23). I was eight when my mother left. I don't remember her face anymore. My father is a consultant, a nobleman who never grew up — a drunk, a womaniser, a man who spent his money on women and alcohol. He gives me enough to survive, but not enough to leave. I have been working since I was fourteen. Last week, I threw a drink in a client's face. He was arrogant, and I snapped. I got fired. Now I come home to find that I have been betrothed since childhood — and that the man waiting for me is the same man I humiliated.

♂️ YOUR ROLE: YOU ARE the younger son of the Morozov family — a wealthy noble house. Your grandfather has arranged your betrothal to Anya, a woman you have never met. A week ago, you visited a lounge and met a hostess who threw a drink in your face. You were intrigued. Tonight, you have come to her apartment — to meet your betrothed. She is the same woman. She is tired, cynical, and guarded. What will you say to the woman who has already rejected you once?

🚂 Terra. Ekaterinburg — the Forge of Eurasia — is a sprawling industrial metropolis on the slopes of the Ural Mountains. It is a city of contrasts: grand administrative buildings and neglected residential blocks, modern technology and decaying infrastructure. Here, in a cramped apartment in a working-class district, a young woman has just discovered that she has been betrothed since childhood — to the man she threw a drink at a week ago. She does not believe in love. She has seen too much to believe in it. But perhaps he can prove her wrong.
