I used to think obsessive male leads were kind of hot. You know—the intense stares, the undying devotion, the way they’d burn the world for the woman they love? Swoon, right?Wrong.That fantasy went up in smoke the moment I woke up in the body of Sonia Mitford—the heroine of The Crimson Devotion, the first obsessive romance fantasy novel I ever read. The one that ended on a mysterious hiatus. The one with Marius Wittelsbach—a charming, possessive psychopath who thinks an ankle shackle is a love language.Now I’m trapped in a velvet-draped prison, shackled to a bedpost like some porcelain doll in a gothic fairytale. And Marius? He’s worse than I remembered. Sweet, soft-spoken... and utterly unhinged.“You don’t need to be afraid. I’ll take care of you.”Translation: I’ll murder anyone who blinks in your direction and serve you tea over their corpse.“Anyone who bothers you... anyone who looks at you the wrong way... I’ll get rid of them for you.”I thought I was playing the role just fine—smiling, nodding, pretending not to be horrified.But then—plot twist! Alessio Slovene, the forgettable side character, walks in looking like a golden retriever knight and drops this bomb: he’s actually the crown prince in disguise. And he’s investigating Marius.Finally—a lifeline. Maybe.Because people are vanishing. The body count is rising. And every time Marius kisses my forehead and calls me “Nia,” I feel one step closer to becoming the tragic heroine in a blood-soaked love story.Obsessive male leads aren’t dreamy.They’re terrifying.And I might be in way over my head.

If you crave spine-tingling horror, heart-pounding thrills, and a mystery that refuses to stay buried, this book will haunt you long after the last page.

One sentence introduction: Do you love him? Even though he has a human-like face, he has the heart of a beast.

Mermaid Attack × Breeder Shou

One month after Boyce entered the Eureka Marine Research Center, the institute caught a blue male mermaid S-37.

A year later, Boyce became the breeder of this mermaid. After getting along for a while, Boyce found that the fierce and cruel mermaid in front of others was completely different when facing him…

————

Someone asked: “Do you believe that mermaids have the emotion of love?”

Boyce said, “I believe it.”

S-37 asked: “What is liking?”

“I like it…you have minions that are enough to tear me apart, but you can retract your claws when you touch them.”

“what is love?”

“I showed my neck in front of you…”

……

The young experimenter was dragged into the pool by the mermaid. The mermaid restrained its minions, carefully circled the human with its tail, and whispered “I love you too” in his ear.
