"If you scream, I will snap your neck before you can even think about getting help."
All nineteen-year-old Mari wanted was to debut as a producer-idol-and she thought APEX Entertainment was her big break. She never expected to walk into the wrong room and witness a vampire feeding.
To silence a catastrophic security breach, the agency offers her a choice: a VIP contract as the Center of their newest idol group, or a one-way ticket to a shallow grave.
Now, Mari is trapped under house arrest with a lethal new girl group and tasked with writing a hit debut album in three months alongside Hyun-the dangerous, brooding vampire producer assigned to guard her. He wants her gone. She wants to survive. But after a taste of his blood permanently alters her humanity, the lines between predator and partner begin to blur.
Welcome to ECLIPSE. Try to survive the night.

And then there is Rutvik. The boy who falls first, The boy who waits. The boy who looks at her as if she is every beautiful thing the world forgot to name. What begins as friendship blossoms into a love story filled with stolen glances, soft confessions, inside jokes, forehead kisses, and a boy who never lets her doubt her worth. But life isn't only made of happy moments. Secrets surface. Hearts break. Fears return. Relationships are tested.

Occupation experience system
I just passed through a few mindless novels where the male lead is op with many women falling on him. Surprisingly such a novel with a female protagonist and reverse harem is very rare. So I am writing this mindless novel just for fun. If you find similar novels please comment and share. I am new to writing so spare me for my language mistakes, typos, and loopholes. I would love to read your suggestions so please post them in the comments section.
