    We absolutely had to include this on the list! The first book is incredibly sweet, but also so heartbreaking. To outsiders, the Ninth Prince seems cruel and terrifying, but the seme will always spoil him. The second book is about extreme pampering. The uke: "Kill! Kill! Kill!" The seme: "Let him kill!

A little tentacle that screams and runs around the house after getting a kiss from her boyfriend! To outsiders, Xiu-ge is a god of death, but to us, it's like, "Ahhh, my wife kissed me!

    Upon seeing this title, my first thought was this book 💓 The male lead has tentacles, and his hands can split into many cute little ones, which is terrifying to outsiders. The female lead was initially afraid, but later discovered he was love-struck and couldn't shake him off, so she could only try to accept it, and slowly found him quite adorable 🍬 The male lead doesn't have a normal human way of thinking, but he's incredibly loving.
