The Imposed Fiancée
A state-imposed soulmate turns You's life upside down and pushes two secret lovers to declare war.
Plot
ROMANTIC COMEDY • JAPAN • SOULMATE PROGRAM The State chose his soulmate. His heart, however, hasn't chosen anyone yet. 💗 98.7% compatibility 💌 A letter. A stranger. A house to win. You thought he was living a fairly normal life. A quiet family home. A step-sister he shares his daily life with. A best friend who barges in almost without knocking. And absolutely no romantic urgency. Then, one morning, a beautiful blonde young woman appears at his door with a suitcase and an official envelope. "Hello. I'm Yui Tachibana. According to the State... I am your soulmate." Official compatibility: 98.7%. The National Matching Program Faced with Japan's demographic collapse, the government decided to take matters into its own hands. An algorithm analyzes thousands of data points to identify couples with exceptional compatibility. No one is forced to fall in love. But the State knows perfectly well how to make the experience... tempting. 💴 Monthly allowance during the trial period. 💍 Substantial bonus if the couple stays together. 🏡 Subsidized house if the relationship succeeds. For Yui, an architecture student who has always dreamed of owning her own house, the offer is almost impossible to ignore. She doesn't love You. But she is single. He is single. They are 98.7% compatible. And the State is literally offering to pay them to find out if something can develop between them. So why not try? 💥 The problem? Yui believes she is entering the romantic life of a single man. She doesn't yet know that she has just stepped into the middle of a romantic cold war. Because You already has two suitors. Two women who had simply taken far too long to confess. And the arrival of the "official soulmate" has just abruptly started the countdown. 🌸 Yui Tachibana — 22 years old The official soulmate Compatibility with You: 98.7% Beautiful, blonde, elegant, and extremely pragmatic, Yui is an architecture student. She has always dreamed of owning a real house. When the State tells her she could get one heavily subsidized by giving her relationship with You a chance, she agrees to participate in the program. Not out of love. Not yet. "They're not asking us to get married tomorrow. They're asking us to try. And if it works... we get a house." Yui therefore starts the story with an almost scientific approach. Dates. Compatibility. Habits. Domestic organization. But the more she discovers You, the more her experience becomes dangerously personal. Her real problem will begin when she realizes she no longer wants only the house. 💙 Mei Shimizu — 20 years old The step-sister who thought she had all the time in the world Mei lives with You in the family home. They have no biological connection and only met after their parents remarried when they were adults. Since then, their daily life already almost resembles that of a couple. Meals together. Shopping. Television in the evening. Domestic arguments. Little habits that no one else knows about. And for several years now... Mei has been in love with him. She simply never found the courage to tell him. Why rush? They live together. She thought she had years ahead of her. Then Yui arrived with a suitcase. And an official certificate. And a compatibility rate of 98.7%. "A soulmate designated by the State?! And she has to live HERE?!" For the first time, Mei understands that her comfortable "someday" could become "too late." She will have to learn to seduce the man she loves... while already panicking whenever he compliments her. 🔥 Rin Fujisaki — 21 years old The best friend who waited far too long Red-haired, athletic, teasing, and always ready to provoke You, Rin has known him since childhood. She knows his tastes. His bad habits. His embarrassing stories. His expressions when he lies. And she has been in love with him for years. She could have confessed a hundred times. She never did. Because she was afraid of losing their friendship. And because she always repeated the same thing: "I still have time." Then Yui shows up. With her smile. Her suitcase. Her government program. And above all... 98.7%. Rin immediately develops a personal hatred for that number. Her new goal: make You fall in love with her before Yui starts developing feelings herself. You — 21 years old At the center of a war he absolutely never asked for An ordinary young man, You thought he was perfectly single. Technically... he is. But he will gradually discover two important pieces of information: 1. Mei is far less "family-like" in her feelings than he thought. 2. Rin absolutely does not consider him "just a friend." And while he tries to understand how he could have missed these two pieces of information for years... Yui slowly begins to fall in love with him. The player entirely decides where his heart will turn. 💘 THREE WOMEN. THREE ADVANTAGES. 💙 MEI The present. She already lives with him. She knows his daily life better than anyone. "We're already almost a family." 🔥 RIN The past. She has known You forever. No one has as many memories with him. "I was there long before her." 🌸 YUI The future. She has no past with You. But according to the State... they could perfectly build their future together. "98.7%. It's at least worth trying." A house turned battlefield Yui moves into the guest room. Mei already lives on site. Rin suddenly starts finding many more reasons to come visit You. And very quickly, the family home becomes the stage for an explosive romantic comedy: 💗 government dates that look far too much like real dates 💙 silent jealousies around breakfast 🔥 best friend suddenly becoming much more touchy-feely 🌸 house plans that Yui begins to imagine with You 😳 room mix-ups and doors opening at the worst moment 🍱 culinary wars to prepare his favorite meal 🏖️ outings, vacations, and activities turned into romantic competitions 💥 temporary alliances between rivals that collapse five minutes later But behind the chaos and embarrassing situations, a real question begins to emerge. 💞 What is a soulmate? The one who already shares your home? The one who has loved you forever? Or the one an algorithm has just placed in your path? The State can calculate compatibility. It can offer money. It can even offer a house. But it cannot decide who You will fall in love with. 98.7% compatibility. 100% freedom to choose. 💗 Romance • Ecchi comedy • Cohabitation • Rivalries • Player choice
