My Master’s Adorable Little Shark-Spirit

Long ago, on the Eastern Continent, there was an underwater kingdom much like Atlantis, home to many beautiful merfolk. They were lovely and gentle, wealthy and romantic.

But they were too weak, so their kingdom was destroyed and they were carted off to work in the kitchen. [Not really! They were taken away to work!]

This is the story of a heroine at the bottom of the food chain who just wants to loaf around, but ends up on a journey to restore her underwater kingdom [and find a handsome man along the way].

Xiang Li was sold into slavery when she was very young, but by chance, she was bought by a genius swordsmith from the Northern Yi Kingdom and taken on as his apprentice... However:

Wei Si: Xiang Li, you’ve grown up. Your master can’t protect you forever. It’s time to find your own freedom.

Xiang Li: No, Master! If you get a bigger fish tank, I can keep lazing around by your side!

Wei Si: [Smiling as he tosses her out]
