    The male leads are both incredibly sinister and cunning, masters of disguise, capable of completely ensnaring the new female lead until she's utterly devoured, leaving no trace. The first book features multiple male leads; the three of them living a good life is more important than anything else! A fantasy romance with a wife-chasing climax, extremely captivating! A battleground of rivals! Top-tier yandere characters! The male leads and second male leads are incredibly compelling! Two jealous, manipulative men! The protagonist's identity belies the mistress's behavior! A cold, aloof immortal falls from grace for love, a demon lord is beautiful, powerful, tragic, and insane! A top-tier fantasy novel! The second book is a horror-themed dungeon where the male lead is a younger, seemingly innocent but actually cunning wolf-dog, the dungeon boss, who transforms into various versions of the female lead—yes, he seduces her and forces himself on her. In reality, it's all premeditated; a skilled hunter often appears as the prey.

    These two books definitely meet the criteria. The only slight drawback is that the first one only has around fifty chapters. Of course, you can save it for later; it's truly amazing! The male lead has been plotting against the female lead for a long time and has been constantly flirting with her—it's incredibly sweet. In the second book, the male lead tricks the female lead into marriage. Both male leads in these books are rather aloof; they only show their hidden side in front of the female lead.
