[Both are devoted to each other + mutual salvation!!!]
After waiting in line for a hundred years, the mermaid Bai Shu finally won the chance to come ashore.
But there was a condition: she had to win a human's true love, or her chance would be taken away.
With no other choice, she tried her hardest to flirt with Professor Shen, the man she'd married in a marriage of convenience. But he remained completely unmoved and could even recite a passage from a mantra for calming the mind.
With the deadline fast approaching, she turned around and threw herself into the arms of a sweet, puppy-like young man.
That very night, the usually aloof and reserved Professor Shen downed a bottle of Erguotou, dragged her into the stairwell, and pinned her against the wall.
His eyes were rimmed with red, and his voice trembled. “Shushu, I was wrong. I’ll never act aloof again. Please don’t leave me.”
It was alright! It just felt like the ending was rushed!
It was good on August 24, 2024. The story was short and there was no angst, but the ending of the last chapter felt a bit rushed.
