In her past life, she was an asset, a professional murder scene cleaner (or even the murderer if paid well) for underground syndicates. Blood didn't scare her, but a normal life? That was a luxury she never had time for. Then she died and reincarnated inside a peaceful Boys' Love novel she once binge-read while in hiding. As a quiet florist named Ruri in a background town, she enjoyed her boring new life. No gunshots, no messy cleanups, just tea, flowers, and watching the beautiful main bottom Elis seduce his harem of top-tier tops. All was well... Until the genre shifted. One sudden apocalyptic event later, the world was in chaos. People awakened strange abilities, beasts roamed the cities, and humanity was divided into powerful Sentinels and normal people. And Ruri?

They're looking at her now.

I can't" His expression cracked and his eyes darkened, not with anger, but with something raw that felt dangerously close to breaking me in half. "You want to know how I feel about you?" His voice was low and rough. Before I could answer, he tilted my chin up again, his thumb brushing the corner of my mouth like he was staking a claim. And then he kissed me. Not the furious, messy clash of before. This one was slower and deeper, but it shattered me even more. His lips were unrelenting, pressing against mine like he'd been holding himself back for far too long. My mind went blank, every thought scattering like ashes in the wind. My fingers swayed helplessly at my sides then curled into his shirt again, because I didn't know where to put them. When he finally pulled back, his eyes searched mine like he was daring me to deny what just happened. "Does that answer your question?" he murmured. - Adriana plays the part of the perfect, wealthy heiress, but she's drowning under her mother's Ivy League expectations and a family scandal that could ruin her.
