My Obsessive Snake-Man Pretends to Be Sweet, but Only Wants to Imprison Me

[Possessive hero + sweet on the surface, dark underneath + long-planned pursuit + skin hunger + rutting cycles + nonhuman Skin-hungry hybrid researcher X sweet-faced, calculating snake-man CEO] Research institute romance in the first half, doting wealthy-family romance in the second. Wen Lingyue is the leading researcher of hybrid species. Shen Qiheng conceals his identity as an heir and deliberately reveals his snake-man form to get close to her. While away on a three-day business trip, he beats the researcher assigned to cover for him so badly they are hospitalized, and won’t let anyone set foot in his room. When she finally returns, he hugs her and tearfully complains: “We agreed I was yours to look after.” No one else is allowed near him, let alone touch him! During the day, he obediently lets her put him in handcuffs, an electronic collar, chains, and a bite guard... At night, he tempts her into an episode, making her cry and beg him to hold her. “Baby, snake-men are devoted. We can only have one mate in our entire lives, and only our wife can hold us.” His tail brushes against her, almost imperceptibly. “If you want to hold me, you have to agree to be my wife, okay?” - An accident injures Wen Lingyue’s hand, leaving her unable to conduct experiments and utterly robbing her of any hope of living. He reveals himself as the highest heir to the Shen family of the Empire and showers her with love. Everyone in S Country knows that Wen Lingyue is Shen Qiheng’s life. When a delicate-looking woman provokes her at the dinner table, Wen Lingyue says she has no appetite, and he flips the entire table. “My baby is sick and has finally managed to eat a little more. What kind of trash dares come here and offend her?” Later, when she discovers that everything was carefully arranged by him and tries to run away, he falls to his knees and begs her through tears: “Baby, I’ll give you anything you want: money, power, people, even my life.” “Please, stay. Will you?” May the moon shine high above, illuminating only me.
