2. The Obsessive Male Leads Want to Eat Me Alive
Note: Promotional oneshot for the web novel.
I possessed someone in a depraved adult BL novel and met the young obsessive male lead (Top). After being bullied by the bottom for years, he turns to a darker path in his adulthood and becomes the crown prince, indulging in imprisonment, obsession and all sorts of heinous adult past-times. Hmm… Then if the bottom never bullied the top, it would have a happy ending, right?
—
For the bottom’s happy future, I met the young obsessive male lead top… and he was super cute?!
‘Oh, my heart. He’s like a furry baby predator.’
My baby, I shall protect you!
I fed, raised and even introduced the insecure obsessive male lead top to the bottom.
‘Big Sis, I don’t like that bastard. He’s disgusting.’
Of course the bottom was hesitant at the beginning, but the two ended up a little closer. I left with peace of mind. I hoped that my favourite character would lead a happy lives with each other, but, despite my intentions-
A few years later, I heard that an obsessive male lead was sweeping through the battlefield looking for me.
—
With a height reaching almost 190cm, shoulders as wide as a wild beast and black hair with the scent of blood, Sislin held my waist with a look in his eyes akin to that of a freshly captured beast.
‘Annette is tiny.’
Red eyes tinged with madness turned towards me.
‘But I’m not.’
—
Heinrich undid my ribbon with his bright red lips. Swish - I could hear the thin cloth rub against each other as it came undone.
‘You promised not to leave me behind.’
Purple irises with a hauntingly beautiful smile.
‘What kind of punishment should I give… to a naughty child that breaks her promises?’
—
He was a stranger, the man who ‘proposed’ to me with countless slaves caged up behind him.
‘It’s a present. You wished to raise a smart pet, after all.’
All I did was raise some boys for a happy ending, but these obsessive male leads want to eat me alive.
Why?
What happened…?
