[Scheming succubus who transmigrates into a book x pure-hearted local mage]
Wensir, an office worker, had recently been following a serialized novel. Its protagonist was a succubus with a bewitching System. The author solemnly promised that the protagonist would only suffer occasionally and that the story was, at its heart, an incredibly satisfying power fantasy. But after getting scammed out of 99 silver coins by the latest chapter once again, Wensir still couldn't see what was supposed to be satisfying about it.
The comments were all saying the author had baited readers with a misleading blurb and the story didn't match its description. Wensir made a small, very mild complaint, but that night the author tossed him into the book.
"Since you think it's not satisfying enough, go experience the protagonist's life for yourself."
Wensir: %#%#
From the start, he was in an underground auction house. The second prince of the royal city bought him for an astronomical sum, and he became a canary in the prince's estate, free for him to toy with as he pleased.
Wensir: ...Author, care to explain where the satisfying part is?
Author: It's just a necessary step on the protagonist's path to godhood. ^^
The author was inhuman, but Wensir wasn't some pushover to be manipulated. He used a scheme to escape. He thought he'd already changed the plot, but after a few twists and turns, he ended up in the hands of the knight captain known as the "madman."
Wensir: ...This is never going to end, is it?
Author: Pressure is what gives you motivation. ^^
After a lot of effort, Wensir escaped wounded and ran into the villain of the story. That's right, the first two guys were both part of the protagonist's group. They could abuse the protagonist physically and emotionally, then form contracts with him one by one and reach a Happy Ending.
Doesn't that sound completely absurd?
The villain was still a relatively weak mage at this point. Wensir decided to go home with him. After all, he was the only person in the story who hadn't done anything strange to the protagonist. Probably because he was a villain, and villains weren't allowed at the table.
But this villain was so strange. Wensir took off his clothes, and he blushed. Wensir got hurt, and he worried. Wensir got kidnapped, and he... went crazy?
Wensir watched the villain take on the entire royal city single-handedly. An inexplicable feeling rose in his heart. He bent down to wipe away the blood spattered on the villain's cheek, his lips curving into a smile as his alluring purple eyes shimmered.
"Do you like me?"
The villain shook his head, then nodded frantically.
"Then, do you want to form a contract with me?"

Bonus scene:
One day after they got together, Wensir still looked listless after finishing his meal.
"I'm still hungry."
The villain opened the book he'd bought at an antique bookstore, One Hundred Tips for Properly Raising a Succubus, and asked hesitantly, "How about a little blood?"
He felt the white liquid mentioned in the book would defile him.
"Hmm..." Wensir thought for a moment, then smiled, his eyes curving. "Maybe a kiss would do too."

One-on-one pairing, no breaking them up or reversing roles.
