The village calls him a monster. A cursed serpent god who brings only storms and death. To appease him, they offer Ziyu (Wu Suo Wei) as a sacrificial bride. But when he's left at the altar of the god, he doesn't meet a beast, He meets Tian Xu Ning (Chi Cheng). A god in agony, bound by a curse, feared by all but understood by none. Instead of being devoured, Ziyu stays. Instead of a sacrifice, he becomes the only light in the serpent's eternal darkness. But love cannot exist without a price. And when the curse demands blood, one of them must pay.

(Completed) A blind prince was never meant to be chosen. A demon king was never meant to love. In an ancient empire where sacrifices keep the world intact, Lian Feng is offered to the underworld, not because he is powerful, but because no one believes he is useful. Blind, gentle, and devoted to his plants, he expects his fate to be quiet, brief, and forgotten. Instead, the Demon King chooses him. Feared by gods and mortals alike, the towering ruler of the underworld claims Lian as his bride and refuses to give him back. What begins as a ritual sacrifice becomes something far more dangerous: a bond forged through trust, tenderness, and quiet defiance. As Lian learns to navigate a realm of shadows through sound, scent, and intuition, he discovers that monsters are not always cruel, and that being held by one might be the safest place of all. With jealous demon lords, ancient prophecies, spirit guardians, and a love powerful enough to shake entire realms, To Be Held by a Monster is a dark fantasy BL romance about choosing softness in a world that worships fear. ⚠️ Note: This book is historical fantasy fiction.

Rava Weston is the definition of the ideal son. He follows the rules, smiles when he should, and never causes trouble. His future is laid out-while he has just enough space to secretly chase his own quiet dreams of becoming a teacher, so long as he plays the role his parents expect. But when he's forced to attend a family summit back in Italy, everything starts to unravel. Because Gio Fontana will be there. Gio is reckless, magnetic, too rich for his own good. He's got cops who know him by name, and NOT because they're friends. His motorcycle is his greatest love, and rules don't seem to apply to him. He has a reputation that makes fathers lock their doors. Especially Rava's father. Rava and Gio, never got along. But this time, the tension feels like hunger more than hate. And as the days stretch on, Rava's perfectly safe world starts to slip through his fingers, because what's building between him and Gio is not just risky, it's forbidden. And it might be the first real thing Rava's ever felt. 🥇 #1 - gay 🥇 #1 - enemiestolovers 🥇 #1 - forbiddenlove 🥇 #1 - lgbtfiction 🥇 #1 - bxb 🥇 #1 - bl 🥇 #1 - bxblove 🥇 #1 - boyxboy 🥇 #1 - biker 🥇 #1 - Italy 🥇 #1 - denial 🥇 #1 - angst 🥇 #1 - gaylove 🥇 #1 - gayfiction 🥇 #1 - fluffy 🥇 #1 - mxm 🥇 #1 - bisexual 🥇 #1 - gaycouple 🥇 #1 - love 🥇 #1 - mlm 🥇 #1 - funny 🥇 #1 - fanfiction 🥇 #1 - obsession 🥇 #1 - lgbtromance 🥇 #1 - traveling 🥇 #1 - fatalattraction 🥇 #1 - slowburn 🥇 #1 - queer Also available in Amazon, physical and Kindle ebook version ✅ (with some bonus spicy chapters)
