But Selena knows the bad boy aura isn’t just a game; blood and death lurk beneath Jace’s striking gray eyes and arrogant smile.

Her only chance to survive in a marriage with Jace is to gain his affection and work her way into his heart—even when rumor has it that Jace doesn’t have a heart to begin with. A mafia princess known for her beauty given to a monstrous man. Even monsters have a heart. She has every intention of working her way into his.

Her younger sister, Lola, was the apple of everyone’s eye—the complete opposite of Sofia. Lola had it all: a beautiful face, a slim body, and she was even dating Damien, the soon-to-be Alpha. Everyone believed Lola was destined to be his mate. The future Luna. The perfect choice. Then fate turned cruel. Lola died, and Sofia was condemned for murder when a damning video showed her pushing Lola to her death.

Die… Or live as a sex slave to the Alpha heir who hates her. Soon, word spread. Everyone heard about the famous Alpha Damien’s sex slave. Powerful men began to come forward—Alphas, Betas, and allies of the pack. Some were curious. Some wanted a taste of her. Others wanted to prove their strength by claiming what Damien despised. And with each passing day, the line of men grew longer. Then came the real trouble. Damien’s uncle stepped into the picture. A respected Alpha. Calm. Influential. A man no one ever questioned. From the moment he saw Sofia, his interest was clear. He wanted her—and unlike the others, he had the power to challenge Damien. Soon, Damien was no longer the only one laying claim to her. For the first time, he had a real rival.

Being bullied (crossed out) Training a dog (done) A Slow and Timid, Ghost-Fearing, Delicate and Pretty Shou × A Violent and Fierce but Wife-Puppy-Crazy, Psychotic Fragmented Boss Gong [Reading Guide] 1. The shou (bottom) is a delicate and beloved beauty — the most beautiful in the entire story — surrounded by a strong, Mary Sue–like halo. Not only does the top like him, but NPCs and players may also fall for him. 2. The top (gong) has fragmented souls, split into multiple slices — with more than one soul slice appearing in each instance. Those who have intimate interactions with the shou are all versions of the top (gong). 3. There are various descriptions highlighting the shou’s beauty and charm — the kind that easily captivates men. He’s a slow, timid, and beautiful fool, a crybaby who easily sheds tears and sometimes loses control etc. If you can’t handle it, run away quickly. 4. The pacing of each instance starts slow and gradually heats up, focusing more on XP (intimacy/relationship progress) than plot. Elements such as cross-dressing, tentacles, or clay modeling may appear, and the top tends to be possessive. If cornered, run fast. 5. Includes live-streaming elements and viewer commentary.
