How to Tame a Lion

[CP X.]

Miyagawa Kazuya transmigrated to Sicily, Italy.

The good news: It's the 1980s, with electricity and internet.

The bad news: He's broke.

To make ends meet, he has no choice but to start from scratch on the mafia path in Sicily, where the locals are fiercely tough.

After plenty of scrapes and struggles, he meets a partner who's short-tempered but has maxed-out combat skills. The two become fairly compatible partners and establish a brand-new family together.

Later, his partner's father, who'd been missing for nine years, suddenly shows up and says he's taking his son home to inherit the family business.

Miyagawa Kazuya happily entrusts his partner to his wealthy old man, then breezily boards a plane to Japan.

Oh, and by the way, his partner's name is Xanxus.

And the family business he is meant to inherit is none other than the [Vongola Family], the uncrowned king of Europe's entire underworld.

By chance, a boy living in the slums saw his future self. The man from the future told him his fate in person.

At the time, Xanxus scoffed at the idea. But later, the bastard who was supposedly destined to love him showed no hesitation when faced with the Vongola, abandoning that fate and choosing to leave.

More than once, he wanted to kill Miyagawa Kazuya.

He wanted to kill him in the first year, and in the second, too. The third year, the fourth...

Then, in the blink of an eye, it was the seventh year. When that man appeared before him once more, Xanxus's thoughts suddenly changed.

He didn't want him to have the easy escape of death.

He wanted him alive, begging and pleading at his mercy, lucidly falling into his grasp and letting him do as he pleased.

That was the punishment a traitor deserved.

Question: How do you tame a lion?

N Widowers Are All My Boyfriends, male lead as seme, CP Byakuran.

Ever since he escaped the research institute full of bloodshed and sin from his memories, Hiiragimiya Hanyu's life had turned upside down.

He studied with one hand and worked part-time with the other, successfully raising the fourteen-year-old version of himself, who couldn't beat the evil pineapple head, into a twenty-five-year-old model young man, well-rounded in virtue, intellect, physical fitness, aesthetics, and labor.

He also built a financial unicorn in free America with the country's second-highest valuation. Along with achieving financial freedom, he found a partner he wanted to spend the rest of his life with.

But when Hiiragimiya Hanyu knelt with a proposal ring in hand, full of confidence, he noticed that his boyfriend was looking at him very strangely.

"Hey, Hanyu-kun," his boyfriend said sweetly, hugging a bag of marshmallows.

"I believe you aren't the kind of scumbag who tricks people into falling for you, so you definitely won't suddenly do anything dangerous one day after getting me, right?"

"You won't cut your wrists, jump off a building, or disappear. You won't... you won't... you won't..."

His boyfriend rattled off "you won't" for ten whole minutes. By the end, Hiiragimiya Hanyu was sweating cold and nearly on both knees.

Only later did he find out that his boyfriend had awakened the ability to observe parallel worlds overnight, and every one of those things he said wouldn't happen...

Was a way he had died in a parallel world.

Byakuran had a terrible headache.

Ever since he awakened the ability to observe parallel worlds, it was like a messaging app that had been offline for ages finally connected to the internet. All kinds of notifications kept pouring in.

Not only had he gained a knowledge.zip file, he also learned that his fiance would inexplicably choose to die one day after their marriage, and that outside their world there was a whole crowd of Byakurans, from the third to the ninth, waiting to take his place.

Because Hiiragimiya Hanyu had died in every other parallel world, and his fiance was the only Hiiragimiya Hanyu still alive.

Byakuran: ...

Byakuran, unable to smile: ...

Byakuran, gazing gently at him: "If you're so fond of dying, why don't I die with you? Hanyu-kun, how about we love each other to death..."

Hiiragimiya Hanyu, delighted: "?"

But, well... can you really do that?
