Haven Ware, a food delivery guy who crossed into Blue Star, wakes to be inspected and sold at a slave roundup. Two noble sisters, Anna and Alicia Judd, buy him; one says her sister must marry Baron Gillian in three days but the Baron is seventy and infertile, so she wants Haven to make her sister pregnant. A system UI marks Anna and Alicia as targets and ties rewards to increasing their favorability. Haven resists, then agrees to serve; Anna's favor jumps and he receives a Primary Favorability Chest. He now faces the immediate task of winning the sisters' favor.
