The Male Lead Monster Lives Under My Bed

As a ‘possessor’ thrust into the world of a steamy 19-gold romance novel, I knew the plot inside and out. So when my eccentric, war-obsessed brother gifted me a peculiar slime, I decided to keep my monstrous secret hidden under my bed. Day after day, I confided everything to my growing, glowing companion – from my transmigration into this story to the most scandalous details of the original plot. The slime, ‘Muw,’ seemed to absorb every word, its blue body flushing crimson at my more risqué revelations. But our secret bond was shattered when my father cruelly ended its life.

Years later, just as the original story dictated, I found myself bound in an arranged marriage to Archduke Ruslan, the formidable Southern Prince. My plan was simple: play my part as the temporary fiancée, then gracefully exit the stage. But the Archduke is… different. He whispers of my supposed ‘preferences’ – a fondness for incarceration, a taste for ‘beeping things’ – things I’ve never said, yet he speaks with an unnerving familiarity. And as his cold hand cups my chin, a strange, undeniable softness sends shivers down my spine. This touch… it’s hauntingly familiar. Could the monster under my bed truly be gone, or has it merely found a new form? Unravel the mystery in chapter 1!
