A Gin-Crazy Fangirl Gets Assigned to the Metropolitan Police Department

[Opens in November. A sweet-on-the-surface, dark-hearted, obsessive male cop x a cold-hearted, ruthless top assassin. Be sure to read the content warnings below the blurb. Don't blame me for my warnings.]

Ye Shengu, set up as a villain, was bound to a Justice System.

His mission was to destroy the organization and become a hero on the side of justice before the suspicion level in the comments reached 100%. Otherwise, the System would erase him.

Ye Shengu had no interest in playing savior. He spent his days exploiting System bugs and killing time, until the night wind atop Tokyo Tower swept through the silver hair of an organization assassin. The man scoffed, calling him a pretentious dog.

Ye Shengu suddenly regretted slacking off. :)

He began investigating the man's background and volunteered to join the team hunting down the organization. At the same time, he concealed his identity and entangled himself with the assassin in a passionate love-hate affair. His burning desire shattered the man's stern composure, leaving him to wrestle with countless questions through long, sleepless nights.

"Who are you, really?"

"I'm the only one who can stand by your side. And... I hope you won't use this kind of method to find out who I am."

As he spoke, he kissed the bead of blood rolling down the man's Adam's apple, then patted the assassin's lower abdomen. The sound of his palm meeting skin mingled with the sloshing of water. The assassin's face darkened at once, while in the darkness, only Ye Shengu laughed softly.

"Then, my dear executioner, until next time."

[When the time is right, I'll tear away the world's mask, forge the perfect shackles for that suspended moon, then draw the battered moon into my arms.]

[And what could make a better cage than myself?]

*

At first, Kurosawa Jin had no idea what he had gotten himself into.

Only when the poison had spread through everything around him and his powerless body opened its eyes amid the clamor of a victory banquet, meeting the young inspector's smiling red eyes, did the silver-haired man understand.

He had already fallen deep into a cage.

(The blurb will be revised again... Who knows why I glossed over the main selling point, the endless entanglement between the secret identity and the real person and the older brother, and just wrote about my obsession with Gin when I was working on the blurb...)

[Reader Advisory]

① Top POV, younger man, a particularly nasty double-standard schemer x a sexy wolf king who gets pinned down. The male lead is dark, twisted, and utterly insane, pure crazy and hentai, but on the side of justice. Gin is my idealized gray Gin.

② The male lead has a secret identity but doesn't use separate accounts. He will save the police academy crew, but only to piss off Gin and because they're useful tools. Warning: original characters may die!

③ I estimate there will be at least ten endings. The main story is the true ending. There will also be HE, BE, CE, and so on, with each ending's starting point clearly marked for ease of reading and understanding.

④ Warning!

The timeline has headcanons, which will be marked. Anything that seems off is a clue. My interpretation of the characters will inevitably be out of character. The author's tastes are extremely chaotic, though the pairing is strictly one-on-one with fixed top and bottom roles. Expect plenty of melodramatic misunderstandings. Outsiders may mistake the secret identity and Gin for a love triangle. In the beginning, Ye Shengu and Gin won't respect each other at all. They're lucky if they don't kill each other. I've written enough healthy romances, so here's an unhealthy one.

There's a free 60,000-word preview. If you can't handle it, just click out. Don't force yourself to finish it and then come yell at me. I'll delete comments. No writing advice or extreme pairing loyalists, please. You don't need to tell me if you're dropping the novel, either. Thank you. Maybe our paths will cross again.
