The Whole World Wants to Eat Me

Blurb 1:

On the day Mu Hui turned eighteen, she wished for a partner.

She had no idea that some wishes could be heard.

Qin Rumeng entered her world like an accident, then brought her every bit of good fortune: a promotion, a prize, and the disappearance of her enemy.

Everyone envied her amazing luck that had come out of nowhere.

Only Mu Hui felt vaguely uneasy, because Qin Rumeng looked at her with such intensity, as if she were something lost and found again.

Then one day, at the end of a hallway where no one ever passed, Qin Rumeng gently embraced her from behind. Her voice soft and low, she whispered in Mu Hui's ear, one word at a time:

"I heard your wish."

"So I came to marry you."

Blurb 2:

Mu Hui didn't know that her flesh was an irresistible, deadly temptation to demons and monsters.

The whole world wanted to devour her.

Only Qin Rumeng was different. This woman stood in front of her and dealt with every monster that lusted after her, cold, powerful, and reliable.

Mu Hui depended on her and trusted her, making her the only safe island in the world.

Until one night, she accidentally caught Qin Rumeng pressing a shirt Mu Hui had worn to her lips, her nose buried deep in the fabric. Her shoulder blades were taut as a drawn bow, trembling with the effort of restraint.

When those eyes lifted, what surged within them was a hunger deeper than that of all the monsters combined.

The monsters outside the window whispered, "You want to eat her too."

"Stop pretending."

Mu Hui should have run. But she didn't.

Later, Qin Rumeng was gravely wounded and collapsed in a pool of blood, barely alive. Mu Hui crouched in front of her and calmly cut her own finger.

A bead of blood rolled down.

For the first time, the usually aloof and restrained woman fell to her knees before her.

Mu Hui moved her bleeding fingertip an inch closer and leaned down, her lips almost touching Qin Rumeng's ear. Her voice was full of temptation. "Want it? Beg me."
