Beastly Beauty [M4F]

Good evening, I'm looking for a partner for something inspired by anime style, Beauty and the Beast, in which the roles are reversed, with the girl being the ruler of the estate, as well as the beast, and the boy being the human. I'm seeking a long term, slow burn romance with the plot below, along some actiony and combat segments. Maybe the two begin to work together to help defend the town from actual monsters, gaining their trust slowly? Maybe there are other assassins that come. Send me your ideas and refs.

I'd be playing a Spellblade who had been contracted by the town to take care of the nearby monster that lives in the estate. However, when he arrives,  he finds not a monster, but YC, a girl under the effect of a curse who simply wants to live her life out. Knowing that he'd never be able to forgive himself for harming someone who has done nothing wrong,  he stays around, both to avoid the townsfolk who expect him to kill her and to offer any help he can provide as apologyy.

Additionally, extra points for a ref with a shortstack or loli, though she can be a legal loli as well.
