"Who knew that something so beautiful could come out of Ronan." He says, as he runs the backs of his fingers up and down across my nipple "Who would have imagined," he says slowly, savoring every word, "that something so exquisite could be born from a man as vile as your father." His eyes trace me with deliberate leisure, stripping, measuring. I felt skinned under his gaze. "A rapist," he continues lightly, as if reciting lines from a book. "A butcher of children. A coward who kills pregnant women and plunges his weapon into a friend's back." He stepped closer. Too close. "And yet," he murmurs, voice dropping, "he left this behind." His smile sharpened. I can't move. I can't breathe. "You should be grateful," he goes on, almost kindly. "If you had been born uglier, I would have killed you like the rest." A pause, then his hands on my cheek, gentle. "But beauty like yours," he adds, eyes darkening, "is worth breaking slowly." * What is worse than being rejected once? Being rejected two more times.

The first meeting was at a small bar. A friend nudged his arm, smiling somewhat suggestively: A woman like Daisy Ginger should be kept in a vase, constantly admired, and toyed with at any moment. At that time, she seemed to be drunk and was persuaded by her friend to take to the dance floor and perform a dance. He propped up his face, watching the glamorous woman with casual indifference under the dazzling lights. Daisy Ginger. The name is spicy enough. The figure. Also spicy enough. * Banyan City’s young Master Wen, afflicted with a severe illness, was deemed by doctors at birth to not live past the age of thirty. He lived capriciously up to the age of twenty-five, never imagining he’d encounter such a dilemma in his lifetime—if he were to die, what would happen to the little demon at home who creates chaos and mischief without his protection, and ends up bringing harm upon herself when he’s no longer there to shield her?

To save his kingdom from a curse of stone, a dying prince buys a girl who is a living battery, only to realize he has unleashed a power that will either melt his heart or incinerate the world. Elara Vance is the collateral for a debt she did not rack up. Sold by her father, Silas, to the dreaded Julian Vane, she becomes a living anchor against the Stonework Curse. As the "Dead Prince" of Oakhaven turns to literal marble, Elara’s scent of Night-Blooming Cereus fractures the frost on his skin. It awakens a predatory hunger dormant for a century. What begins as a cold transaction shifts as Julian loses his senses, becoming entirely dependent on Elara’s heat to remain human. Through forbidden research, a dark truth emerges. Elara is a Seeker. She is a rare conduit of power Silas has been priming like a battery for twelve years. The dynamic of captor and captive shatters as Julian realizes he is not just collecting a debt. He is guarding a prize the entire underworld is coming to claim. Hostility melts into a volatile and touch-starved attraction. As they share a Shadow-Seeker bond, Elara begins to inherit Julian's ruthlessness. She transitions from a victim to a predator who finds power in his terrifying devotion. Betrayal strikes when Julian’s former lover, Isolde, baits them with a Heart-Stone shard. This catalyst triggers a violent transformation rather than a cure. In the heart of a forest siege by the Fenris Pack, Julian’s self-control snaps. He pins Elara against the ancient stone with fangs at her throat. He is ready to consume her to survive. When he finally bites, her Seeker blood acts as a detonator. His marble skin explodes like shrapnel to reveal the Dragon Beast within. Julian becomes a storm of obsidian scales and hellfire, annihilating their enemies to protect his anchor. The journey concludes in the Blackwood where Elara chooses to rule. She performs the Vow of the Obsidian Heart to bind Julian’s divinity to her own heartbeat. He is restored to a god-like state, but he can only draw his power through her command. The Dead Prince and his Seeker Queen transform Oakhaven into a fortress of glass and shadow. Elara remains not as a prisoner, but as the wielder of the beast. As they host a gala for their fallen enemies, Elara feels a sudden, icy shiver. A figure at the back of the hall raises a glass, revealing a mark on their wrist that matches the one on Silas’s stolen relic. The debt was never truly settled

MANIPULATION GAME [BL] [Top/Seme MC x Multiple Bottom/Uke Leads] TAGS: R18+ | DARK | PSYCHOLOGICAL | MATURE | YAOI | HAREM | BL   WARNING: This novel contains mature themes, psychological distress, and intense power dynamics. Reader discretion is advised. This is not a lighthearted romance.   Jang Taesoo rules the Aurora Consortium with an iron fist, shaping obedience from those under his control. When the weight of his empire grows stale, he finds escape in Lost in Paradise – a romance novel he knows by heart. But his obsession lies not with the female lead, but with the five powerful men who fight to win her hand. A dark hunger stirs within him: to take these untouchable titans and mold them entirely to his will. After saving a child from a truck, Taesoo dies – only to awaken before an ancient Entity that reveals his death was an accident. His final focus on the novel has merged his brutal world with the story’s, creating a twisted reality where he still commands his empire… and where the five men exist as living prey. Given the choice to return or stay, Taesoo chooses to remain – boredom is his enemy, and breaking the unbroken is his new obsession. He will shatter the novel’s saccharine romance, tear apart their devotion to the female lead, and forge their strength into submission. Every man is a challenge to be conquered, a soul to be marked, and a heart to be claimed. Can he bend these powerful men to his will, or will their resistance consume him first?

The poem tells the story of a man who leaves his beloved behind, unaware that he will never return. As time passes, nature erases all traces, and years fall heavily upon her waiting. War eventually destroys homes, cities, and even ancient gods, leaving only ruin and blood. Amid all this devastation, the girl survives—endlessly waiting, embodying loss, time’s cruelty, and the silent pain of abandonment.
