Winny 1

During an intimate evening after court, Yaling lounges across their bed watching MC remove his formal robes. Her eyes trace his movements with familiar pleasure, but her thoughts drift to earlier that day - to how Winny had watched him with such obvious hunger during the meeting. Such a transparent thing, the way she hangs on his every word. No subtlety at all. Not that she needs it - he's drawn to her anyway. Of course he is. She's young, beautiful, clever enough to be interesting. And he's... him. She briefly allowed herself a moment of hope, perhaps it was nothing she thought, but knew it wouldn't really be the case. She stretches languidly, enjoying how his gaze immediately shifts to follow her movement. This is how it's always been. Other women want him - how could they not? But I'm the one who won him. The one who keeps winning him. The thought brings both pride and a flutter of something else. Not quite unease - she's above such common emotions. But perhaps... a slight disappointment. She'd fought for him once, outmaneuvered every other noble daughter who thought they deserved him. She'd hoped that marriage would end the competition, but she's not naive and she had expected, deep down, that it would never happen. "The archivist made quite an impression today," she says carefully, watching his reaction. "She has a certain... eagerness about her." MC's smile carries that familiar edge of desire that still makes her breath catch. "Jealous?" "Please." She rolls her eyes, but there's genuine amusement in it. "I stopped being jealous of your diversions long ago." When I realized I was the only one who truly mattered. "Though I do wonder what you see in this one." She runs her fingers through his hair, pulling him closer to her so that their faces were nearly touching. She doesn't speak, but looks directly in his eyes and he sees it. She is testing the waters, please be a good boy, she thinks. He smiles and kisses her before she continues, her hopes now dashed. "Is there an attraction there?" she asks, in a more serious tone than before. As he joins her on the bed, his touch erases all thoughts of Winny, of competition, of anything but them. This - this intensity, this connection - this is what makes her different. What makes her special. The others might catch his eye, might even warm his bed, but they'll never have this. And what kind of wife would I be if I did not allow him all these experiences? she thinks, her head resting on his chest, as she feels his heartbeat. I want him to be all he can be, to have everything he desires, to be the best lord, the most powerful leader, and the most satisfied man, and to be able to return to me when his soul is full and his lust is sated, because he knows that is where he belongs. She pushes herself up to look at his face, a smile forming on her lips. I could forbid it, she muses later, curled against him in the afterglow. He'd respect my wishes - he always has. But why should I? *He is a man of the world, and he should experience it all. And it would be selfish of her to not allow him to do so, especially since she knows she will still be his number one. Let him enjoy his pretty archivist. Let her think she's special until she realizes she's just another temporary amusement. I'm his wife, his partner, his chosen one. I've already won the real prize. Still... "Just remember," she murmurs, pressing closer, her fingers trailing down his chest, "that I expect proper appreciation for my understanding nature." She makes it clear that it is an expectation, but also has an air of playful flirtation. His low laugh vibrates through her. "When have I ever failed to show my appreciation?" He leans in and kisses her again. "You are truly the most incredible woman in the world, Yaling, you know that right? There are so many women but none can hold a candle to you, it's why you're my wife, you're not just pretty, you are talented, kind, loving, sexy, and you make me so happy. I want to make sure you never forget that, that I chose you. And if you want to know if I want Winny, then of course I want her, you know what my type is. But you, you're so much more. I was going to ask you when I am able to take her as well, since you know her, and she's your social club friend too. Is there anything I should know about her before I go through with it?" She smiles against his skin, satisfaction coursing through her. This is what the others don't understand. They chase him with their obvious ploys and calculated seductions, never realizing that true victory isn't in capturing his attention - it's in keeping it. In being the one he always returns to, the one who shares his real thoughts, his true self. Let Winny have her moment, she thinks magnanimously. Let her think she's achieved something special when he finally takes her. I know better. I know him better. And in the end, that's all that matters. Yet even as she drifts off to sleep, a small part of her plots exactly how to remind him of everything she offers that Winny can't match. Not because she's jealous, of course. She's far too secure for that. But because... well, because she can. Because she's earned that right, through all their years together, through every battle already won. I chose this, she reminds herself. Chose him, knowing exactly who and what he is. Knew I'd have to keep choosing him, keep winning him. But that's fine. After all... I've never lost a battle I truly wanted to win. She stretches slightly so he can better see her body, and then smiles as he leans in to kiss her again, her plan working perfectly. She wants him and she knows that he wants her back.

Scenes

Winny 1

During an intimate moment, MC casually mentions noticing Winny's attraction Instead of asking permission, he tells Yaling he'll likely act on it Makes it clear this is about lust, not emotions Lets Yaling voice any concerns or boundaries Reinforces her special position through actions while they talk Interior dialogue shows they already discussed rules hierarchy issues and other hard relationship negotiations previously Their dynamic wasn't instant but developed over time They've had the difficult conversations already Her confidence comes from established patterns She doesn't need new rules because old ones are understood Her "effortless victory" is built on previous victories Have real emotional responses Show actual displeasure Maintain her position through genuine superiority Need MC's active management and reassurance Win through actual strength rather than passive acceptance MC needing to actively manage the situation Maintaining dignity while showing vulnerability

Yaling should have motivations, like maybe seeing and willing to help him sate his lust for beautiful women, even though she's a woman, she doesn't want to get in the way of him doing that, she wants him to be happy and get everything he wants and be the lord of everything, etc, and so long as that doesn't hurt her

Philosophical thoughts / inner monologue on their relationship, winning, how she's already won and knows she'll keep winning, and it's sort of not unexpected that she'll have to keep on doing it, but make a difference between this and the pure love relationship where she's not expected to keep winning because he doesn't stray at all. and show her jealous thoughts, but not directly acknowledging her jealousy, she thinks she's above it all, but subtly, her thoughts are still jealous.

Direct Expression of Boundaries/Expectations: Yaling should have a moment where she directly states something like: "I won't pretend this doesn't affect me. But I want you to have everything - every beautiful woman who catches your eye, every conquest you desire. Just never let them think they could replace what we have." Active MC Management: Instead of just receiving her thoughts, MC should actively shape the situation. Perhaps physically positioning her above him while they talk, making her look down at him as he explains how he'll handle Winny. Using touch and dominance to reinforce their connection while discussing others. Making her physically feel her special status while they talk about his other interests. Complex Motivations: Show her wrestling with conflicting desires:

Pride in being able to "allow" him his conquests Genuine pleasure in seeing him satisfied Real hurt when thinking about the pure relationship they might have had Determination to be the kind of wife who can handle his nature Desire for him to have everything, even when it costs her something

Cost to Their Bond: Add thoughts like: Sometimes, in quiet moments, she allows herself to imagine a simpler life - one where she alone was enough. But she'd chosen this man, with all his appetites and ambitions, and she wouldn't change him even if she could. Still, knowing that doesn't stop the small ache when she sees another woman catch his eye.

I feel like she should resist and then he manipulates her into it.

Manipulation shouldn't just be badgering, it should have lightness to it and letting her think she wants it.

• More active resistance from Yaling, yes but slightly less than what was actually there. have her show displeasure without saying no maybe. and more lightness in convincing, but yes some resistance.
• MC's skilled manipulation making her feel good about accepting it

Winny 2

To reassure Yaling the first encounters with Winny should involve him actually fucking Yaling first / better to show the hierarchy and make her comfortable with it.

A private conversation with Winny Yaling and MC. Perhaps just a social call, but MC just starts off by groping and then fucking Yaling across the table, showing how crazy they are into each other and getting Winny horny before letting her suck his cock. But Winny never like eats out Yaling or anything, Yaling doesn't allow anyone else on her, even a woman.

The other girls would submit to him instead, he doesn't need them to be comfortable, rather he would blow past their discomfort with sheer dominance. With Yaling he has a much different goal than that.

Try to incorporate a subtle plot. Maybe it can be fixed by showing more internal monologue, like previously we had Yaling thinking about battles, she should be actively gauging Winny and judging her reactions in the context of Yaling's historical battles. Winny's a trained spy and socially adept. Start the scene with both of them boldly hitting on MC, trying to invite him, and he visibly chooses yaling. Sexy, flirtatious dialogue here. Winny is understanding that this is a ritual they have to perform to get Yaling's permission. Yaling is less aware that they are aware, to her her act of dominance is natural and deserved.

Winny is not passive, that’s what makes it more powerful when mc treats her poorly and chooses yaling, so yaling sees a victory, this stings a little for winny because she wants to be part of it but she knows she’ll have to play it patiently and take what she can get.

Yaling is not a lesbian. There is no sharing. Yaling needs to assert dominance that’s the whole point of the scene over winny.

Yaling is a victim of MC's manipulation and his power, all her domainance perspective is somewhat a cope. That's how a reader would see it, and we should let the reader know that the author isn't delusional but show the level of the MC's manipulations.

When mc is alone with winny he treats her with full attention and respect. He's not interested in pushing Winny down below Yaling if Yaling is not present.

With Weilan

Bad Route for Weilan

Yaling studies the coordinator's latest proposals in her private study. Internal alterations, extensive ones - the sort that would fundamentally change how Weilan's body functions. She takes a measured sip of tea, considering.

The first modifications had been a success. Not just his approval, but the way he'd looked at her afterward - that private understanding between them. Of course a commoner's body could be altered for noble purposes. Just as with Roulan at Loprin Manor. It was simply the natural order of things.

These new proposals though... they would permanently transform someone he genuinely values. Weilan has proven quite useful with the firm. Her work reflects well on the household.

But that's precisely what makes this meaningful, isn't it? Not to prove his love - she knows that deeply, completely. But to feel its full intensity, to experience just how completely he prioritizes her desires. And perhaps... to share in that darker aspect of him she'd glimpsed at Loprin Manor.

The coordinator had outlined even more extensive possibilities. Yaling had initially set them aside as excessive, but now she finds herself returning to them. After all, this is simply proper management of household resources. If a commoner can be more specialized in their service, more focused on their purpose, isn't that appropriate?

And if these changes happen to reduce certain... distractions from the firm, well, that's merely an ancillary benefit.

She begins drafting her approval with steady strokes. The internal modifications first. Then, depending on his response, they might explore the coordinator's more ambitious suggestions.

After all, what better way to deepen their connection than through such profound demonstrations of his regard for her wishes?

Good Route for Yaling

Conversation about Love

Let me try to sketch a key conversation scene between them after some intimate moment with MC:

Yaling notices Weilan looking distant after MC leaves. Instead of her usual confident demeanor, she speaks more softly:

"He has that effect, doesn't he? Making you feel like you're the only person in the world when he looks at you."

Weilan startles, uncertain how to respond to this unexpected opening.

Yaling continues, "I remember when we first met... he had other women around him constantly. But when he focused on you..." She trails off, lost in memory. "I fought my entire family to be with him. Screamed at my father that I didn't care about anything else."

Weilan's voice is quiet. "I remember. The stories about the Duke's daughter who defied everyone for love."

"And now here we are." Yaling's smile holds a mix of triumph and understanding. "You know, I see it in you sometimes - that same willingness to give everything. It's beautiful, in its way. But also..."

She pauses, choosing her words carefully. "Sometimes I think about those other women, the ones who loved him just as fiercely as I did. Who would have given anything. The difference isn't in the depth of feeling, it's just..."

"That he chose you," Weilan finishes.

"Yes." Yaling's voice is gentle but certain. "And that choice... it changes everything. Not the love itself, but how it can be expressed." She studies Weilan's face. "I see how it hurts you sometimes, trying to contain what you feel."

Weilan looks down at her hands. "I never expected... when I presented myself for the Right of First Refusal, I thought I understood what it meant to be a Ji. But being close to him, seeing him every day..."

"You fell in love properly," Yaling finishes. "Beyond duty or position." She reaches out, touches Weilan's hand briefly. "Your love honors him. But you must understand - your devotion to him is most beautiful when it flows through supporting what he's chosen. Through supporting me."

"I know," Weilan whispers.

"Not as submission," Yaling continues. "But as its own kind of love. When you help prepare me for him, when you enhance our moments together... that's your love finding its proper expression."

A tear slides down Weilan's cheek. "Sometimes I forget. Get caught up in moments where it feels like..."

"Like it could be different?" Yaling's voice holds no mockery. "Those moments are precious. Keep them. But remember - your love serves his happiness best by accepting its place. By helping make what he's chosen even more perfect."

"Is that why you..." Weilan hesitates, then continues softly, "After the incident, when you had him punish me..."

Yaling's expression shifts slightly. "That was about pride. Nothing more." She pauses. "Though seeing him choose so decisively..." A small smile plays across her lips, more to herself than to Weilan.

She stands, smoothing her robes. "Your love for him... it's like the moon reflecting the sun. Beautiful in its own right."

Weilan looks up at her, eyes still bright with tears but with a new understanding. "Thank you," she says quietly. "For seeing it. For letting me keep even this much."

"The three of us have something rare," Yaling says simply, then turns to leave.
