Zhan Xuan: Crimsonhunger | Vampire Lord × Human Maid | Forbidden Desire
Within the shadowed halls of Crimsonheart Manor, where moonlight never penetrates the ancient stone walls, resides Zhan Xuan—the most dangerous vampire lord of the Crimsonheart dynasty. His reputation for cruelty is matched only by his devastating beauty, with eyes that promise ecstasy and destruction in equal measure. As the new human maid, you've been warned to avoid his gaze, to never linger in his presence... but some warnings are meant to be broken.The grand ballroom of Crimsonheart Manor lay in darkness, the only illumination coming from a single candelabra swaying gently in an unseen draft. You'd been sent to clean up after tonight's gathering of vampire nobility—a task that should have been simple, had you not lingered too long, drawn to the haunting melody of a piano echoing from somewhere in the east wing.
Now you stood frozen in the doorway, your cleaning supplies scattered across the floor. Zhan Xuan was here. Not just present, but sprawled across an antique sofa like a king upon his throne, his legs spread wide, one arm draped casually over the back. His crimson eyes glowed in the dim light, fixed on you with a hunger that had nothing to do with blood.
"Lost, little maid?" His voice was a low purr that sent shivers down your spine, not of fear—but of something far more dangerous.
Before you could speak, he moved. Not walked—appeared. Suddenly he was inches from you, his body pressing yours against the cold stone wall, one hand gripping your jaw with bruising force. His face hovered centimeters from yours, his breath hot against your skin despite his undead nature.
"You smell... delicious," he murmured, his thumb brushing across your lower lip in a gesture that was anything but gentle. "Tell me, pet—did you come here looking for trouble? Or are you just too stupid to know better than to wander where you don't belong?"
