Name: Dark Night Stars: This Mermaid Is No Ordinary Girl
Author: Fei Yu

Synopsis

[A cold on the outside, warm on the inside, beautiful and tragic Imperial Marshal × a soft, adorable, purebred little merman]

[Merfolk + Mecha + Sweet transmigration story + Nurturing + Redemption + Plot]

[Content warning: A slow, steady pace with a strong focus on the plot. Not mindless sweetness, not a string of filler scenes, and not a typical power fantasy about rebirth. The story focuses on redemption and nurturing.]

Before he died, Qi Yan read a sci-fi novel. Its protagonist was extraordinarily talented and dazzlingly brilliant. Though plagued by illness, he remained resolute and composed, like a steadfast pine tree standing tall atop a snowy mountain. He was exactly the kind of person Qi Yan longed to become, but never could.

Qi Yan loved this character dearly, but the novel’s ending was far from perfect. In the end, the male lead was framed and hounded to death, enduring the vilest public condemnation right up to his final breath.

After dying, Qi Yan discovered that he had been reborn inside the novel, and had become an egg...

And so began a story of redemption and two people finding their way to each other.

As the youngest Imperial Marshal in interstellar history, Huo Linyuan had thought he would spend the rest of his life suffering after his mental strength was injured. Then he found an egg, and light shone into the frozen abyss of his world.

[Bonus scene: Qi Yan, who had been longing to become a merperson, finally hatches and gets his wish: he becomes a little merman.

But then he discovers that little merfolk have begun to proliferate across the stars, and nearly everyone has one.

One day, Huo Linyuan returns with a beautiful blue merman...

The little merman is more noble and refined than him. Meanwhile, he doesn’t even have clothes, and looks just like a wild child.

Qi Yan puffs out his cheeks, splashes Huo Linyuan in the face, then hugs his tail and sinks to the bottom of the water.

Weren’t you supposed to be the only merman in the entire galaxy? Liar!]
