Was on the fence abt adding “it was an arranged marriage” to the bg of my ex fiancé jing yuan series that none of you will see for another two months when I finally manage to finish this svarog fic and then mao mentions arranged marriage w him and now I simply have to do it

#JENFKNE if I can throw it in somewhere I will tbh but it adds a rlly interesting layer to things #in this story specifically #like. ur his. u were promised to him. even if ur running loose rn he’s the one who put the slack on the leash #(that’s how you see it anyway. meanwhile he’s just suffering bc he wants you back)#it’s interesting!!! and I think also adds to how much the relationship messed w the reader #bc I’m sure it’d be far harder to break an arranged betrothal #so there’s an added desperation there to go through the societal & familial pushback #AND the family dynamics (w her family being very pushy abt taking him back & her little sibling being the only one who supports her)#make slightly more sense #thinking thinking #also it’d be a diff plot from how I usually do it bc usually I do a ‘mutual pining bc they both think they’re overstepping’ kinda thing #but I don’t think Jing Yuan would care abt that LMFAOOOOO and they’re like. childhood sweethearts in my head #maybe the arrangement was made when they were rlly young and he’s always been head-over-heels and greedy abt it #or maybe it was made when they were older and he had a thing for her beforehand…….. idk! I’ll think on it
