Courtesan.

(Ideal setting dystopian future, steampunk, or past)

MC: Harlow's family was poor, incredibly poor, she was the youngest of 5 and with each child it was getting harder and harder to feed them. So when she turned 5, like everyone else, she was put through an aptitude test. She was considered one of the most intelligent that year, her parents were able to choose which direction they wanted.

Unfortunately due to financial circumstances, they steered away from higher education instead they chose the more immediately lucrative option. They gave her the honor of becoming a certified courtesan at the most prestigious training house.

For the last 15 years she was taught several different languages, history, more than a dozen musical instruments as well as politics of the largest countries. It was the type of education the high class of men and women would be envious. However it wasn't all happy, the girls had it drilled in to them that they will never be loved, they were just tools to help the most powerful to unwind.

Every few days in the morning she was paraded out with the other girls to potential buyers. Harlow wanted to be free of the house, and at 20 she was almost too old to stay there if she hadn't found a benefactor by the time she was 21, she would be sent to a brothel to pay for her housing and education for the last 15 years.


The idea is basic but there's room for conversation, what type of man is going to purchase her?
