The Obsessive Male Lead Is Actually Scary

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.

Date a Witch: Reborn as the Witch of Lust! (GL)

[WSA Entry 2025] [Additional tag: GL, Yuri, Only Wholesome romance, Harem, Slow romance, Academy, Fluff, Lighthearted, Overpowered Protagonist and Love Interest] [Update Daily] Seven Witches. Seven Sins. Mel always found the apocalyptic Gacha World of the 'Witchhunter's Howl' quirky and confusing. The Tragic Witches. The over-powered Saintess. The Bad Ending. And the twelve thousand Dollar she spent on pulling PNG waifus. Really, another salary emptied? Aw, she still hasn’t bought the new, limited merch yet! Those were the last thoughts of an otaku before she was transmigrated into the World as the Witch of Lust, a character erased for the PG rating. But something is off. The capital thrives, people live in peace, and the Witches have yet to be awakened. Transmigrated 15 years before the game's main storyline, Mel now faced a choice: kill her future rival Witches, or wait for the apocalypse. Alas, much to her System's mischievous nudging, she agreed completely: "Why don’t we all have a nice and relaxed tea party instead? The Witch of Pride can be my chair, and the Saintess can make my snacks!" And so, from the jealous Witch of Envy, to the mysterious Witch of Wrath, the Witch of Lust will fight and scheme her way into rewriting the Witches' tragic fates! After all, why fight when you can give hugs and kisses? ————— Note: In short, want Date a Live but Yuri + Witches + LOTS of fluffs + Overpowered Scheming Protagonist? You have come to the right place! Inspired by Frieren (slice of life + action), Date a Live (premise), and the World God only Knows (Strategic Seduction) Ah, and Re-zero, I suppose. Starting from chappie 11, Fan services and the Main Plot will be dialed up. Be prepared \o/ Credits: Cover: @PagE_PickEr —————

Babies’ Secret: My Ex Wants Me Back!

{MATURE} "I was scared!" she cried, interrupting him. "You're a married man, you have a wife now, and I didn't want to ruin that. I didn't know how you'd react. And I didn't want my children… our children… to be caught in the middle of more pain." He looked at her in shock, breath caught in his throat. "You just said… our daughter earlier," he said slowly. Yes," she answered. "Jasmine and Hanith. They're yours." Aaron's breath hitched, stumbled back a step, staring at her like he was seeing her for the first time again. "You told me they weren't mine," he whispered. "I lied," she admitted. "Because I was scared. I wanted to protect them. I thought if you knew, you'd take them away. And I also thought you wouldn't want them because you are married now." "Five years," he murmured, his voice barely audible. "I had children... and never knew." He clenched his jaw, struggling to process everything. "They are your children," she said softly. "And now your daughter needs you." ~**~ A single mother, Katherine Prescott was the perfect definition of a B3 classy lady—beautiful, brainy, and brave. She worked her ass off to ensure her children never lacked, building a name for herself while running from the unwanted attachment of the past. But when the past she thought she'd left behind the day she fled with her babies came crashing against the walls she'd built—six years later—everything she buried resurfaced. What if the forgotten spark and desires kept pulling her back into the very past she wanted to forget? What if her babies wouldn't stop asking about their father? Can she really give him a second chance at love… and risk losing herself to passion again? Aaron Knight was a celebrity. He never believed he'd see her again. But there she was—still breathtaking, still beautiful as ever. He wasn't letting her go this time. He would get her back, by hook or by crook. Two problems: he was married… and she was already a mother. #secondchance #billionaire #chasingherback #romance #adultromance #contemporarylit #singlemother
