The Sovereign Proxy (BL | Ongoing)

Every inch of your intellect, every breath you take, and every single thread on your back was bought with my signature. You belong to me, Ethan.

For twenty-one years, Ethan Vance's life has been an unpredictable minefield of poverty, survival, and the brutal weight of the Manila slums. His only ticket out is a grueling scholarship at the prestigious Crestview Elite University. But survival has a price.

Enter Professor Arthur Chen: a ruthless senior partner, a cold titan of the legal world, and a man who commands absolute institutional power. When Chen buys out Ethan's family debts and secures his mother's premium medical care, it isn't an act of charity. It is a total acquisition.

Stripped of his old phone, isolated from his fiercely protective best friend Marcus, and locked into a strict administrative lockdown, Ethan finds himself trapped in a gilded cage of tailored suits, encrypted networks, and luxury. But when a severe tropical storm cuts the campus power grid, the clinical hierarchy completely shatters.

Forced into Chen's private, minimalist concrete fortress, they find themselves working side-by-side by the flickering light of black wax candles. In the suffocating intimacy of the dark, the Senior Partner's cold mask slips, revealing a raw, deeply possessive, and dangerous romantic obsession.

Ethan faces a terrifying realization: Arthur Chen doesn't just want a brilliant research assistant. He wants him. Entirely. And the most dangerous part? Ethan's broken psyche is starting to crave the master's touch.
