    Do you happen to know another novel where there are two brothers with red eyes and they hide a sister not allowing her to go out, similar to Boundlessly Pampering you???

    you should check out "Winter Rabbit in Wonderland" clear.png

    it's basically like an even more twisted version of alice in wonderland so it has a lot of gore...
    the MLs are obsessive and crazy and the FL is super cool and badass !!clear.png

    I think the Tyrants Beloved Doll is a must read. You have to get through the first arc of them slowly VERY slowly learning to trust and depend on each other in a really toxic environemt and then it just BLOWS up in your face and now this is my favourite novel istg

    The FL is not perfect and all-knowing and I love it. She stumbles through and is sometimes manipulative of ML. And later all just so worth the Wait.

    (Cant forget the twisted, possessive ML but I wont spoil the fun. Just know THE WAIT IS SO WORTH IT)

    I think you're missing "Obey Me". That one is obsessiveness and possessive to the point of inhumanity. He's a friggin ML that will keep FL in any kind of form, so long as she's alive and by his side. Emphasis on "any". Geez, I have a love-hate-love for this story. It's a really roller coaster feelings of being in the deep end, but it's definitely a good novel. It's a lil bit dark but there's a redemption arc so it's actually mellow in my opinion. And the novel is completed, just a few more side story left, so it's bingable.
