New IF: The Gilded Sacrifice
**(Gender-locked female)
Summary:
Step into the glittering ballrooms of high society, where wealth is envied but a title is everything.
You are the only daughter of a wealthy family about to undertake your first London Season.
Your great-grandfather made his fortune through trade; a fact the Ton has never let you forget. Two generations later, little has changed; for all your gold and gemstones, it is a title your family desires above all. And they are willing to sacrifice anything to acquire one, including you.
The Season awaits;
Attend opulent balls and extravagant dinner parties.
Be the perfect debutante or a daring rebel.
Participate in the infamous Marriage Mart.
Will you dance with a Duke, promenade with a Prince,
or do you dream of a different future altogether?
Beneath the gilding and the grandeur lie veiled barbs and cunning schemes, shrewd negotiations, and scandals waiting to happen.
Will you trade one gilded cage for another, or shatter the bars that confine you?
Duty. Power. Freedom.
Which path will you take when your future is at stake?
Features:
Create and customise your heiress (gender-locked female) with choices that shape both her appearance and personality:
- Name: Choose your given name and family surname; how society will know you.
- Appearance: Choose you skin tone, height, hair colour, and more. Decide how your heiress appears to the world.
~ Note: The story takes place in an alternate version of 1810 England, where people of all skin tones are fully accepted within high society.
- Personality: Make choices that affect your heiress's personality. Are you anxious or confident, dutiful or defiant, logical or intuitive?
- Sexuality: Raised to be a lady and to marry for position, you have never had cause to question your heart. With your introduction to Society and the world beyond your upbringing, you may begin to wonder if this is who you truly are.
~ Note: The option to explore where your true attraction lies will only become available later in the story.
