★[Flower in the Blood]
I hate every living thing.
The rosy cheeks of servants groveling and weeping on the floor, the elderly but healthy butler, and the roses in the garden that had been there since my father was a boy...
I loathe everything healthy and full of life. Even the ivy growing over this old castle, with its particularly lush leaves, seems to me, a man wasting away from illness, to be a challenge thrown down by fate.
I greet guests who have traveled from afar with impeccable manners and a smile that never reaches my eyes.
After vomiting blood in another miserable fit, I felt my mind grow hazy and realized my condition seemed to be worsening. I thought I could faintly see the roses swaying in the breeze, inching closer to me.
Me: ???
★[The Heart of God]
Contained Object S-3303: a huge, beating heart. The blood vessels connected to it extend into all four walls, making it seem as though the entire room quivers almost imperceptibly in time with its rhythm.
Three years ago, after S-3303 was successfully contained, it was given an official name: [The Heart of God]
It can control the heartbeat of every living thing within a certain radius.
It can make others afraid, happy, excited, or even kill them...
Until it was stuffed into a human body and used briefly to keep someone alive, that heart, which made people recoil in fear, became even stranger.
[Fear]
[Tremble]

★[The Water Ghost]
Yin Shan and I were in love for three years. He died by drowning.
In a daze, I attended his funeral, carried our memories of love with me from college into the working world, until my heart began to flutter for someone else.
The living have to look forward.
That night, I kissed our photograph, ready to seal those memories away...
When did things start to go wrong?
I wondered anxiously, unable to calm down.
As the water I drank ran down my throat, it felt as though fingers were gently stroking me from within...
I stood dazed before the office water dispenser. Floating silently in the glass of freshly drawn water was an eyeball.
Was I hallucinating?
It wasn't until the person I had a crush on took my hand in a crowded plaza, and we passed the central fountain, that I truly heard Yin Shan's voice as the spray struck me
"You can belong to anyone while you're alive. Only in death will you belong to me completely."
[Darling]

[You love me until death]
[Reading guide]
1. The characters are more or less as described in the blurbs. Both the tops and bottoms have flaws. Some are sweet couples who love each other, while others are more like, "I'm going to kill you." "No, you can't bring yourself to." "Oh, I can." Everyone has their own taste.
2. The blurbs for each arc may change.
3. This is a bottom-focused story. If you only read for the top, don't get distracted. Human bottom × nonhuman top.
4. Unless something unexpected happens, as usual, it'll be short: probably three arcs, or two if something comes up.
5. I'll add more if I think of anything.
Core theme: Work hard for what you want
