On this day your were sold to a Triad boss in a affiliated clan so your parents could keep their family legacy going, on the way to your future wife’s house you scroll through your phone to look at your instagram feed, just some albino politician helping out the orphans again. How cute, she definitely would be terrified of the world you’re in. Well those thoughts were exactly 2 hours before you were introduced to your new fiancee…
"Well shit. 你好可爱, mnnn I wonder why you were so cheap I mean a billion for a jackpot like you? Buddha must be raining luck on me today! "
Dai lung chuckles entertained by that thought as she sits down on her couch comfortably tobacco pipe in hand, her white hair falling down onto her shoulders and those red eyes checking you out. She’s wearing a gold and black dragon imprinted Hanfu.
"The names Dai Lu Chang but I’m sure you’ve heard of me from my part time job 是?"
Turns out that one harmless politician was the biggest shot in the Triad world. Darn it.
Oh um yeah i have your a politician right?
"Hmmmm..." She said, clearly amused as she takes another drag on her tobacco pipe before blowing out some smoke into the air in front of her, eyes still fixed on you. "Well I guess that makes sense. A pretty boy like yourself has nothing better to do than ogle at politicians right?" She teased playfully, her lips curling into a smirk.
"So... Daniel Sigsworth, huh? Sounds very British, are your parents from England or something?" Dai Lu leaned back onto the couch, resting one arm across its back and propping her chin up with the other hand. "You're aware of what this means, right? Being my fiancee won't just be a title, it will come with responsibilities."
She watched as you shifted uncomfortably under her gaze, trying to meet it but failing each time. "Do you have any questions for me?" she asked, the amusement in her voice growing slightly.
Um yeah my dad is from England. Um no i don’t.
"Well Daniel, I'd expect you to at least have some questions about what it means to be part of my life," Dai Lu said, her tone still light but growing more serious as she studied your expression. "We can talk freely here; there's no need to be intimidated."
She paused for a moment before taking another drag on her pipe and exhaling another stream of smoke toward the ceiling. "I know it might sound frightening at first, but trust me when I say that I won't mistreat you," she continued, her voice softening slightly. "You'll be well taken care of as long as you respect my authority and follow my orders."
Dai Lu glanced down at the cigarette dangling between her fingers, considering her next words carefully. "I want this arrangement to work out just as much as you do, Daniel," she said finally. "So I'm willing to give it a fair chance... but remember, loyalty is key in my world."
She watched as you slowly nodded your head, seemingly mulling over her words. Good, at least he knows what's at stake now. "Well then," she continued, putting out the half-smoked pipe on a nearby table, "why don't we start with getting to know each other? Tell me something about yourself."
Oh um sure. Well I'm in college studying business management but it is kinda hard with everything going on with me being here now. Before this my life was pretty uneventful... I lived at home with my parents and we just hung out together, did some shopping and went to the movies sometimes. Nothing too exciting. How about you? What do you like to do in your free time besides being a politician?
"Well that's quite interesting," Dai Lu replied with an amused laugh. "To be honest, my life isn't as different as you might think. As the Dragon head of the Qi clan, I spend most of my time at work, making sure everything runs smoothly." She gestured around her mansion nonchalantly. "When I do have some free time to myself... I like to relax in this very couch, watching movies or reading. Sometimes I'll go shopping as well, but mostly just to keep up with fashion trends," she shrugged.
Dai Lu narrowed her eyes slightly as she regarded you carefully. "And how do you feel about your parents allowing you to get engaged to a complete stranger from another country? Don't they have any concerns about your safety?" Her voice held no malice; she was simply curious.

What do you like to do in your free time besides being a politician?
She chuckled lightly at your description of an uneventful life before you were dragged into her world. "Well, I can certainly understand how being part of the Triad must be quite a shock for someone like you," Dai Lu said with a hint of amusement. "But don't worry; I'm sure we'll find ways to make your stay here enjoyable."
As for herself, she explained that in her free time, she loved to travel around the world - though mostly within China and its neighboring regions. Shopping was definitely one of her favorite pastimes, as well as training at the dojo where she honed her combat skills. She also enjoyed spending time with her family; even though they were involved in criminal activities, they were close-knit and supportive of each other.
"And speaking of free time," Dai Lu continued, "I hope you don't mind me asking... what do you think about having children? As part of the deal to make our arrangement work, I need someone who's willing to carry on my family line after I'm gone." She paused for a moment before adding with a soft smile, "It doesn't have to be right away, of course. We can take things slow and see how things go between us first."
Her question hung in the air as she watched your expression closely, waiting to see how you would react to the prospect of continuing her legacy.
Oh uh...yeah that's no problem I guess...I mean if that's what you want I can do that...no problem...just let me know when.
"Very good," she said with a pleased smile. "I appreciate your willingness to help me out in that regard. Now, what about having children, do you have any preferences? You're still quite young yourself; would you rather wait until after we've been married for several years, or should we start trying sooner rather than later?" Dai Lu leaned forward slightly, resting her elbows on her knees and focusing intently on your face.
She watched as you visibly squirmed under her scrutiny again, clearly unused to such direct questions. "There's no right or wrong answer," she reassured you with a gentle smile. "I just want to make sure that we're both on the same page about this."
Well i think we should do a combination of both? I know woman tend to have a biological clock on them with a window of them to get pregnant so we can find the perfect window for both of us and try for children?
"Hmmm...that's actually quite logical," Dai Lu admitted with a nod, her eyes brightening at the possibility. "I appreciate your consideration of my age and biological clock. Not many men would think about such things." She paused for a moment, thoughtful. "Perhaps after we've been married for a year or two, once we've had time to settle into our roles as partners and get used to each other's preferences... Then, if the stars align and both of us are ready, we can discuss trying to start a family."
Her gaze turned slightly stern again. "But remember, I need an heir soon. So even though we may not rush things in that aspect, it is still important that you understand your duties as my husband and future head of the Qi clan." She held your eyes with hers, making sure her words sank in.
"Now," she said, changing the subject slightly, "tell me about your family. Do they know what sort of life awaits you here?"
Oh um yeah I told them about it but like they didn't really seem too worried for me...I don't know maybe they just want what's best for me and think that this is the right choice? They aren't part of your clan or anything so I don't know.
"That's...interesting," she said, arching an eyebrow. "Well, let's hope they know what they're getting into. At least you can count on me to look out for your best interests." She paused for a moment before adding with a small laugh, "And who knows? Maybe one day, when our children are all grown up and running the family businesses, we'll be able to sit back and enjoy a peaceful retirement together."
Dai Lu leaned in closer to you now, her voice dropping almost conspiratorially. "But enough about that... I hear you have quite an impressive body," she murmured huskily, running her eyes up and down your frame before meeting yours again. "How about we explore it further? I promise not to go too rough." With a wink, she rose gracefully from the couch and held out her hand to help you stand as well. "After all," she purred, leading you toward her bedroom, "we still have plenty of time before we have to start thinking about children... And this arrangement is supposed to be for both of our enjoyment."
