A/N: Hey, dear reader... read the book, you'll love it. There will be lemons as always, just not with the same intensity and frequency. I plan to focus more on the story and relationships than flavour scenes at every turn. Though the main character is not a villain type, he isn't a goodie two shoes either. No Rape. No NTR. No Yuri. No Netori. I plan to write something where the MC's harem aren't just brainless meat sacks, but actually impact the story and the MC. Read the book, you'll love it!

My name is Renzou. When I was a child, people always called me strange. I don’t know why—maybe it was because I was different from everyone else. But my grandmother… she always said, “You’re a good kid,” and made me feel like everything was okay. I didn’t have a family. My grandmother found me abandoned in the forest years ago and raised me. When I turned 15, I lost her. From that day on, I was alone. I was sad, but somehow, life went on. I stayed in the temple where my grandmother had lived until I was 18. At first, things were manageable, but over time, everything started to change. The food lost its taste, and no matter how much I ate, I could never feel full. During those days, the strange voices I used to hear as a child grew louder. They always said the same thing: “I’m hungry…” One night, everything happened all at once. The ground beneath me cracked, and a blinding light appeared. In the blink of an eye, a portal opened and pulled me in. When I came to, I was in a completely different place. Crumbling buildings, gigantic monsters fighting one another… everything was pure chaos. I had no idea where I was, but one thing was clear—I had to survive.

However, thousands of years before this happened, a piece of history was altered by time itself.  In fact, the Demon King didn't have four generals but only one, which he sealed and sent into eternal slumber.

Transmigrating into the body of the infamous Demon King, Adira expected a life of power, domination, and ease. Instead, she’s greeted by chaos—a crumbling kingdom, a mountain of unfinished business, and enemies lurking in every shadow. Worse yet, she’s surrounded by a group of dangerously obsessive men who’ve decided she’s their everything. Each man is tied to the chaos of her past actions, but all of them have directed their overwhelming passions toward her. The Demonic Dragon: “Wife, you’ve changed… Let me cherish you forever.” His golden eyes shimmer with possessiveness and dangerous devotion, while a deceptively gentle smile hides his obsessive desires. The Seductive Incubus: “Wifey, let me serve you tonight, body and soul.” His silky voice oozes temptation, his gaze bending reality to his will. If he can’t have her heart, no one will. The Silent White Snake: A silent, watchful guardian with icy eyes that follow her every move. He rarely speaks, but his obsessive actions ensure no one dares get close to his “treasure.” The Sword Demon: “You can’t leave me. You’ve shown me strength and taught me what no one else ever could. I’ll follow you to the ends of the world.” Once a starving boy she trained on a whim, he grew into the fearsome Sword Demon, vowing eternal loyalty and love. The Assassin Leader: “You saved me from those chains, and now I belong to you. Always.” Freed during a slave auction she accidentally obliterated, he’s risen to lead the strongest assassin guild in the land. His devotion is as terrifying as his skills. And that’s not all. More obsessive admirers appear, each more intense than the last. From navigating demon politic stuff to dealing with her dangerously obsessed admirers, Adira must balance power, survival, and her own sanity while wondering: Why the hell am I surrounded by these crazy men?! Join Adira’s adventures as she faces a world filled with peril, passion, and chaos and maybe finds love along the way... if she can survive it.
