[Next up: My Husband Doesn't Seem Human. Starting before the New Year. Please also add my other upcoming novels to your collection, and check out my author page. There are lots of interesting stories!]

In a long-abandoned unfinished building, Xue Yan came across a boy.

He was wrapped in thick layers of cobwebs. The strands pressed into his fragile skin, his breathing was faint, and the color slowly drained from his beautiful face. He was close to death.

He was Xue Yan's conquest target, a demon who would bring about an irreversible disaster in the current world.

At first, though, he was simply a pitiable person who had been betrayed and abused, locked away in the unfinished building and left to die.

Xue Yan picked up the frail boy, whose body was covered in scars.

As he gazed at her with eyes full of despair and desolation, begging her to help him, she chose a path of redemption that was theoretically simpler.

*

A very, very, very long time later, Xue Yan stared speechlessly at the room full of sticky, milky-white spiderwebs. The slimy webs covered her from head to toe. Before her, the boy's two lean, powerful legs had somehow become eight glossy black limbs.

A spider's abdomen hung behind his butt.

...What was going on?

Watching the endless webs spilling out from behind the boy, Xue Yan belatedly realized that the person in front of her might be a dangerous being beyond anything in the real world.

And yet this dangerous being was gazing at her in panic and helplessness, as if silently begging her not to abandon him.

[Key Points]

1. A romance between a couple in a mildly frightening infinite-loop setting. Sweet girl x gentle yandere.

2. Both leads are each other's first love and have no previous partners.

3. The hero is a spider. He loves only the heroine and loves her above all else. He's extremely love-brained, fiercely possessive and jealous, and incredibly clingy. He wishes he could stay pressed against her forever. He's a gentle yandere. (Important) Later on, he may become jealous, turn dark, and go mad with love for the heroine, to a truly insane degree.

4. Since it's set in an infinite-loop world, some scenarios are mildly frightening. Romance and plot are roughly in a 7:3 ratio.

How to Beat a Horror Otome Game

Swan Lake Academy was a century-old prestigious school, but it was tragically destroyed by a fire. Everyone who died there became a vengeful ghost.

You have the bad luck to wander in, and are about to be killed among the evil spirits. But luckily, a conquest System selects you. If you complete the mission, you'll have a chance to survive.

You agree without hesitation.

[Please choose your conquest target]

[Warning: Failure means death. Choose carefully.]

[1. The gentle upperclassman]

[2. The quiet, impoverished student]

[3. The considerate childhood friend next door]

After some hesitation, you choose 3.

The information for Target 3 instantly appears in your mind:

Xie Wenxi, your neighbor on the same floor. He's the kind of child everyone else's parents adore, always smiling and unfailingly polite to everyone. But where no one can see, he suffers because of his shameful identity, and has even developed stomach problems from often going without food.

The moment you learn this, the System transports you to a few months before the fire. You're standing on the stairs, with Xie Wenxi's home above you.

Without hesitation, you knock on his door.

Xie Wenxi opens it. The beautiful, neat young man gives you his usual polite smile and asks what this neighbor he barely knows wants.

You take out the sandwiches you carefully prepared and invite him to share them.

As you tirelessly bring him food and deliberately get closer, Xie Wenxi's gaze grows more and more intense. His affection builds layer by layer, until it seems ready to spill over.

You no longer need to rack your brains for excuses to approach him. Xie Wenxi starts inviting you over himself, and even asks you to hug him when he's sad.

You fall in love naturally. Xie Wenxi treats you wonderfully and starts clinging to you, throwing the occasional adorable little tantrum.

A few months later, the fire arrives right on schedule. The disaster still happens, and Xie Wenxi protects you as he's burned to death.

Just as you think it's finally over, the flesh burned to ash slowly regenerates, gradually taking the shape of Xie Wenxi.

He still has that clean, polite smile, and his gaze is filled with an overwhelming love for you.

A tangible black mist coils around you.

Xie Wenxi smiles, still sweet and harmless, and says, "Come stay with me. Don't leave. Stay with me forever, okay?"
