September ’25 BL Manhwa of the Month: Boss, Bxtch, Baby! by Dacto

Welcome back to the Delusional Boyfriend Book Club!
This month’s BL Manhwa of the Month is Boss, Bxtch, Baby! by Dacto. Hojin Koo is drowning in debt when a group of suited strangers saves him—only to reveal his rescuer is a former one-night stand with a bold offer: be his personal plaything for a year, and his debt is gone.
At first, Hojin is just a pet for the eccentric corporate heir, but as time passes, he glimpses the loneliness beneath the man’s wealth and power. As emotions stir, is he falling for something real—or setting himself up for another mistake?
