Middle-aged aunt turned concubine seeks a lavish palace life

Volume 1 of Satori Okumura's ``I've become a concubine, but I don't have to love her, right? ~I want to live a great life as a princess who wants to be dependent on others~'', originally written by Yukiko Kobari, was released by Akita Shoten today, April 16th. This is the story of Barbara, a concubine who had a previous life as an aunt in her 50s, and works hard to live a "gutara life."

Barbara, the king's fourth wife, was having her first night with King Dolgan. However, she tells Dolgan that instead of fulfilling his duties today as the first night, he should simply rest. Seeing that Dolgan was exhausted from having children with his many concubines, including the queen, Barbara suggested that Dolgan become his "resting place for the night." In fact, she has memories of a past life of an older woman in her 50s who lived in modern Japan, and she can see that Dolgan is fed up with every evacuation. Barbara plans that if Dolgan likes her by treating her differently than the other concubines, she will be able to live a "good life", but... A comic version of Kobari's light novel, ``I've become a concubine, but I don't have to love her, right? ~I want to live a life with a strong desire for others~'' is currently being serialized in Souffle.
