The Rude Hostage (Many Men, Few Women)

This is a different world where men greatly outnumber women, and women are highly prized.

Dayu lies on the great grasslands in the northern part of the continent. This warlike, horseback nation is the only female-dominated country on the continent, where women hold high status and control most of the military and government.
