I'm a mermaid. One night, I somehow washed ashore. A handsome, extraordinary man asked if I wanted to go with him. I'll admit it: I was smitten, so I went.
I like him, and he likes me. My eyes are full of him, and I wish I could cling to him twenty-four hours a day, but I have to play hard to get.
Then I had a dream, and it felt so real.
It turned out the rich man who treated me so well loved someone else. I was just a stand-in for his beloved. Driven by love and resentment, I became a vicious supporting actress who turned a loving couple into star-crossed lovers. In the end, I was sent away to do backbreaking work selling fish. When I learned that the two of them had married, I died of anger!
I think I instantly started hating him. Whoever wants to die of anger can go ahead. It won't be me!
Even as a stand-in, I refuse to make myself miserable. The bed was so uncomfortable to lie in that I had ten layers added to the mattress. I'm Princess and the Pea. Every morning, I collect dew from the garden at 5:25. I need the essence of the sun and moon to wash my face. And every meal is a whole fish feast. I want to eat...
The domineering CEO: “Qianqian, whatever you say goes.”
This isn't how the story is supposed to go. You should be looking for your beloved.
A very nice book! It's just that the ending is a bit sloppy.
