The Sweet, Obedient Host Has Caught the Boss's Eye Again

Sweet, gentle heroine × unhinged boss

After waking from a deep sleep, ordinary college student Su Wan finds herself an unlucky Host in a horror game! From the start, she's thrown into the deceptively sweet Candy House, where gingerbread men swing cookie sticks at people and flowing syrup becomes a sticky death trap. Sweet and gentle on the outside, with a sharp tongue on the inside, Su Wan can only hug herself tight and put on a desperate show as she struggles to survive, hoping to make it to the end.

But she never imagined that while carefully avoiding monsters, she would accidentally catch the eye of the final boss, Xie Ci. He controls every instance, is devastatingly handsome, and is dangerously unpredictable. He smiles at her with keen interest. “Well, well, where did this poor little thing come from? You look... so pretty when you cry.”

From then on, the entire tone of her game instances goes off the rails! While everyone else fights to survive the horror, she's being “fed” all sorts of treats by the boss. He helps her out as if it's nothing and gives her presents every day. It's just that the way the boss expresses his “affection” is a little hard to handle: he might grind the monsters who scare her into dust, or gently ask, “Would you stay here with me forever?”

Xie Ci's favor is her only shortcut to clearing the game, and also the sweetest, deadliest shackle. Su Wan struggles to survive the various instances while keeping up her sweet, gentle persona, all the while dealing with the boss's possessiveness whenever it flares up. Help! She just wants to go home. How did she end up on the radar of the terrifying final boss?!

Note: The heroine will gradually grow stronger in the game instances. The male lead is obsessive, and there will be captivity later on. If that's not for you, don't read!
