I just started reading this today and I'm looking forward to more updates. <3
I love how Gwiboon and Jinki aren't quite in love yet they already know that they want this relationship of theirs to work.
I was just wondering if the chapters are going to stay this length or get longer as the story progresses?

thank you hun, glad you are enjoying it.
i feel like it's only natural they want it to work like... you're stuck with this person for life already. better try to get along ^^

each one is different. most of the narrative parts like this are short but anything with dialog (like the last chapter) will be longer.

Ayy, but at least he was gentle tho lol. I think it's good that it wasn't some horrible, traumatic experience for Gwiboon. I think that would've changed her mind about wifely duties and such. Oh, but she gets to be a mama soon, hopefully!

well i wanted to stay in the realm of fluff so... no traumatic experiences.
but time period and culture would play a big part in all that as well. her mother had already "prepared her" for what her wedding night would be like so.... it's treated as just an expected part of married life. nobody cared if you liked it, you still had to do it.
so even if it had been a bad experience, women were little more that property and had zero say over what happened to their bodies. so it probably wouldnt even cross her mind that she could refuse.

LOL jumpin the gun a little there, aren't we? i mean... sure it's possible but let's let the kids get to know each other first before they starting making babies.

It just makes me thankful that I have a little more say in what kind of wife I want to be and social pressures aren't that big of a deal now. It's so frustrating knowing that there were women who basically had to "deal with it" because that was the life: grow up, get married, have no identity or autonomy. Be someone's property your whole life. And right, it probably didn't even cross a lot of women's minds that they could say no. They might have still had to follow their husband's wishes or wants, but the option to refuse wasn't even there.

That's why I like this so much. Up until now there hasn't been a reason for Gwiboon to feel unsafe or disregarded.

And yeah, I got a little excited about the babies lol. But I couldn't help it cause Onkey and babies make me squeal uwu uwu.

yes, it is a very sad truth of the not so distant past (and still very much a reality for a lot of women around the world). for so much of history women were property. you belong to your father and then your husband. you were never your own person at any point in your life. i mentioned to someone else earlier, the concept of marital rape is still rather new. so basically the marriage was considered your never-ending, irrevocable consent. ironic that you also forced into the marriage without your consent so..... but yeah, the thought of saying no wouldn't even be there because the very concepts of bodily autonomy, consent and the ability to make decisions for yourself or about your own body was simply non-existent. it's a horrify thought but an undeniable reality for so many woman since the dawn of time ( ... )
