*Organizing the completed chapters now, launching soon! The illustrations are already commissioned, and some can be seen in the character section~

Size difference | Height difference | Sweet romance | Steamy fiction

Mu Kaluo transmigrates to Italy and becomes a doomed art student.

The original owner got caught up in a feud in the art world after meddling in other people's business, and was killed on a dark, stormy night.

To avoid the same grim ending, Mu Kaluo stays in the studio, devoted to honing his art and shutting out the world.

He never expected that even keeping to himself in a quiet corner would draw someone's attention.

It was all because of a life-drawing class. Mu Kaluo drew something a little more than #eighteen-plus# for an assignment, and the model himself caught him in the act.

Mu Kaluo tried to run, but was lifted ten centimeters off the ground. He hadn't even thought of his last words yet when the other man smiled and said he liked his art.

And so, in a sudden turn of fortune, this sunny-faced Italian man with curly brown hair, blue eyes, long legs, lean muscles, broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and perfect proportions became Mu Kaluo's steadfast protector.

·

Leon, the heir of a prominent Florentine family, owns half the city. Life drawing is an ancient artistic tradition, and famous artists have beaten a path to his door, but he'd never met anyone like Mu Kaluo.

He knows Mu Kaluo has taken the original owner's place, but doesn't mind keeping him close and spoiling him.

Mu Kaluo is glad to have made a friend in Italy. Leon is wealthy and generous, witty and courteous, understands his art, and supports his pursuit of innovation. Mu Kaluo can use his yachts and private planes whenever he likes, and wherever they go, they're the center of attention under the camera flashes. Outsiders call them close artistic partners. Sometimes Mu Kaluo takes advantage of Leon's indulgence to throw his weight around.

But little by little, Mu Kaluo realizes there's something different about this friend...

When they're eating ice cream, Leon licks the melted ice cream running down his own wrist.

Leon murmurs strange poems in his ear and gives him wine that makes him feel hot.

When Mu Kaluo goes to find another model to sketch, Leon chases him halfway across the city in a red Ferrari, carries him off with one arm, and takes him home.

He wakes in the middle of the night. Beyond the castle windows, wind and rain rage, and Mu Kaluo's cheeks are damp.

Leon licks his lips beside the bed, staring fixedly at Mu Kaluo's fair face.

Mu Kaluo sees his missing hair ribbon in Leon's fingers, twisted around and playing between them, mixed with the blood seeping from Leon's fingers.

"Caro, awake, darling?"

"?! Σ(°△°) Don't come any closer!"

This is bad. Mu Kaluo finally understands what people mean when they call Leon a "mad dog" in Italian.

[Bonus Scene]

At night, Leon's time to enjoy his little bone. He gnaws away without restraint.

You can't abandon a dog you raised yourself. Mu Kaluo's eyes well up, terrified the bed will collapse. Red-eyed, he bites through the ribbon restraining his wrist, trying to hook it around Leon's neck...

Leon grins, even more excited.

🐶 Handsome, but crazy. His madness builds gradually, with a perfectly paced progression. Going crazy is healthier. The one he's crazy for is the only person who can keep him on a leash.
