Isabella offers a contract marriage to the 'Son of the Demon King' for the sake of survival.

"The Duke seems more concerned about his successor than his crazy son."

Kaiden said languidly, untangling the string that was tying up her shirt.

"Should I live up to your expectations from now on?"

Her straight collarbone and a long neckline were revealed through her untangled collar.

For a moment, a calm wave arose in her eyes.

"Do it, then."

"…what?"

"Let's do it."

Her heart rate was slowly speeding up because of the strange feeling of embarrassment or surprise.

"Be my husband instead." <<less

A dry gaze, as if looking at something worthless.

In this world, mermaids and humans live together and follow the same rules. Si Yue is not a mermaid. He is a wealthy young man who neglects his responsibilities.... more>>

Mermaids are extremely intelligent, but they are inherently wary and keep their distance from humans. Si Yue had no idea he'd meet a mermaid until his dad told him that the family needed him to enter a marriage― with a mermaid.

3. Humans have the potential to transform into mermaids.

4. The mermaid's breeding season normally occurs during the transition from spring to summer.

"Also known as: 'The Fall of the Tyrant'."

Before Qin Xiuran met Gu Lan, he was a tyrant who could make billions disappear in the blink of an eye. Elegant, noble, handsome, and perfect, he was unstoppable and invincible.

But at the age of thirty, he returned from America to inherit his wealth. Before he came back, he had imagined a life of high-stakes business battles and the collapse of powerful kings.

However, the day he returned to China, he met Gu Lan. He squeezed into rush hour traffic for her, rode a tricycle, and had high-pressure water sprayed in his face. When he stumbled out of the police station in a sorry state, he bumped into his own mother, who looked at him with concern and said, "Xiuran, why don't you find a partner? Maybe you'll get better?"

At that moment, he swore that when he saw Gu Lan again, he would make her pay a price.

But when they met again, it was at a blind date table. Through a series of misunderstandings, they decided to try cohabitation.

On the first day of living together, Qin Xiuran lay in bed listening to Gu Lan snoring and thought, "I will never marry this woman."

After a month of cohabitation, when Gu Lan punched his little brother who had come to steal the company's seal, Qin Xiuran stood behind her and thought, "We can only ever be siblings."

But after six months of cohabitation, when Gu Lan suggested that he publish negative information about their opponents on a rival app and then report them to win the business battle, Qin Xiuran looked at her wise and confident eyes and indulged her with a smile.

"Wife, you're so smart. I'll go post some ads right away."
