Monsters Must Not Covet Their Pretty Keeper

Sharp-tongued but soft-hearted beauty bottom x possessive, scheming green-tea top

(Human caretaker x tentacled evil god)

In 2035, monsters returned to the world.

Su Shi is a member of the Supernatural Research Institute, tasked with eliminating mental contamination and disasters caused by aberrations.

He receives a black crystal tube and is assigned to raise the S+-rank aberration B-017, a little tentacled creature with eight limbs.

But raising it is no easy task.

Su Shi discovers that the little tentacle is becoming more and more rebellious. Whenever it dislikes the taste of its nutrient solution, it starts to "punish" him.

In the laboratory, in a corner the surveillance cameras can't capture.

Moist tentacles fill the entire lab, caressing Su Shi's swanlike neck and Adam's apple. Their suckers slowly travel along his shoulder blades as they utter an ambiguous "Nolan," cautiously yet delightedly.

Wrapping around him, binding him tightly, pressing close...

As if to say, "This is the food He likes."

Su Shi's skin tingles, and a seductive blush spreads across the corners of his eyes. Terrified, he firmly refuses and keeps trying to escape.

The terrifying tentacles gently encircle his waist, then obediently retreat.

That night, the tentacles escaped.

An indescribable terror descended upon the world. The investigation team issued an urgent arrest warrant, and a new member named "Nolan" joined them.

He takes special care of Su Shi, always saving him from danger at the last moment. And when Su Shi is surrounded by a pack of wolves... he becomes Su Shi's clingy little sidekick.

Su Shi: "Why are you always following me?"

To move into his home, Nolan deliberately stays out in the rain all night. Soaking wet, he looks pitiful as he says:

"I'm fine, Brother. You don't need to worry about me. I'll be okay on my own. Worst comes to worst, I'll sleep on the streets and cry all by myself."

His lashes tremble. He looks helpless and fragile.

Su Shi: "..."

Fine, I suppose I can take him in for a while.

But he doesn't notice the dark, inscrutable look in Nolan's eyes as he watches him walk away, or the restless tentacles inside him.

"I want to eat him so badly."

"I want to secretly hide him inside my body."

Nolan's heart beats with uncontrollable joy.

Su Shi turns around and sees Nolan rubbing against him like a cat, his eyes innocent and his voice gentle:

"Have you decided to take me home, Brother? I'm well-behaved most of the time."

In the unknowable hours of the night, thick, soft tentacles wind around Su Shi's waist, leaving trails of wet marks and countless tiny kisses that send a deep, bone-tingling shiver through him.

He is surrounded by countless tentacles, caught between suffocation and surrender. Trapped in a terrifying nightmare, he knows perfectly well:

That is Nolan.

He leans close to Su Shi's ear, his voice clear and alluring:

"Since you took me in, you have to take responsibility for me."

"I'm so hungry. Can you let Nolan be naughty just this once?"

'In the light of the earth, among the boundless love of humankind, I once saw you.'#

"Reader's Note"

1. The top can switch to a human form. He's the monster world's biggest jealous green-tea drama queen, and his entire worldview revolves around Su Shi. He came to be by his darling's side just to cling to him like crazy!

2. Intense, angsty love-triangle drama, happy ending, devoted romance with both leads' hearts and bodies belonging only to each other, younger top, a touch of Lovecraftian horror, and an original alternate world.

3. Please add it to your collection~ It means a lot to me, sob QAQ.

Theme: Even in difficult times, keep loving life!
