How to Mark and Raise a Tentacle Monster

"★ Next up: Raising a Dark Sentinel into a Good Boy" . "A foul-mouthed tentacle monster who is virtuous, pure-hearted, and considerate, a fake Beta with true strength, Seme X A self-deluding, scent-impaired, possessive, aggressive movie-star Alpha Uke" . [====Story Blurb====] . Ruan Shiba is an octopus monster who has only just entered the human world. To survive, he hides his eighteen tentacles and disguises himself as a human Beta, always remembering to keep his identity secret so he won't get sliced up for research. He was born freakishly strong, can change his shape, and his blood can imitate and give off any pheromone scent in the world. Naive and inexperienced, Ruan Shiba is a hardworking office drone, versatile and capable of juggling several jobs. He serves as the live-in manager, personal assistant, and capable bodyguard to his Alpha boss, movie star Mu Qingye... Until one day. The kitchen was filled with the aroma of dinner. Wearing an apron, he was using his tentacles to scrub his boss's shirt when he turned around and met Mu Qingye's fever-reddened eyes, inflamed by his rut. The scent of sandalwood, ebony, and sea salt surged toward him. No way! Marking and sexy stuff cost extra! No one said this was part of the job! No round-the-clock, year-round shifts! No lifetime contract of indentured servitude! * "Octopus monster, also known as a tentacle monster. A soft-bodied creature with a frequent and vigorous breeding season. Loyal and clingy, enjoys burrowing, and forms lifelong contracts." Mu Qingye, with a dual impairment affecting his sense of smell and pheromones: Pet lover √ “...I want to quit. The National Research Institute needs me.” His fake gland was swollen and red from being bitten. His tentacles were held in someone's arms and frantically fondled day and night. Covered in the scent of sandalwood, ebony, and sea salt pheromones, Ruan Shiba blushed, flustered. “Boss!” He hesitated, then said, “Stop using my tentacles to... to... And don't deliberately bite my glands and mark me anymore!” #Sign an indentured servitude contract with the boss. (×)# #Fall in love with my sweetheart! (√)# [====Reader's Guide and Warnings====] 1. Seme-led story with both perspectives. The seme isn't weak; the uke is strong. One-on-one in body and mind, happy ending. No children in the main story, but there may be a little tentacle monster in the extras (undecided). 2. The story mainly focuses on the romance, with a very strong mutual attraction and doting relationship. Both leads are equally important and precious to the author. Readers with strong character preferences, please don't read. 3. The seme is passionate, pure-hearted, and naive, considerate and good at housework and cooking. His tentacles are an unconscious, instinctive part of him as a monster, not an independent consciousness. When he's in human form, he can't control his tentacles, which are very eager to get frisky with the uke. 4. After evolving during the breeding season, the seme can feel what his tentacles feel. The descriptions of the seme and his tentacles will have the same style in both free and paid chapters, and will not change. Everyone has different tastes; if this doesn't work for you, don't force yourself to read. See you in another story~ 5. The uke is a hugely popular movie star with extreme possessiveness and desire for control. He marks the seme and bites his glands. The uke has a dual impairment affecting his sense of smell and pheromones, and only reacts to the pheromones the seme imitates. 6. There may be illogical elements, melodrama, one-sided attraction from male Alpha/Beta/Omega supporting characters toward the leads, and a small number of side couples of various genders and orientations. 7. The author respects that everyone has different likes and dislikes. You don't have to notify me if you drop the story. Reading is supposed to be fun, so please be kind in the comments. If anything makes you uncomfortable, stop reading immediately. Don't project characters' behavior onto the author. 7. The story is entirely fictional. The characters are not based on real people. Please don't associate them with or compare them to anyone in the real world. ★ Exclusively published on Jinjiang, the only official edition.
