My Monster Sweetheart

He was a half-breed mermaid of New Atlantis and Lemuria, alone and miserable. He had wandered from place to place since childhood, surviving by stealing. Unable to bear seeing him suffer, I took him in and treated him like my own little brother. I swore I would never abandon him in this life.

But fate never lets tenderness last.

He was forced to reveal his true form to save me. Framed by humans and condemned by thousands, he was driven into the depths of the sea.

Against all odds, he clawed his way back from death to my side. After learning the truth of his bloodline, he shouldered the mission of his entire clan, and finally confessed the love he had kept hidden for years. Only when I came to my senses did I realize I had long since fallen for that young man.

But love between different races was taboo. The clan elders forced him to sign a contract. Afraid its backlash would cost me my life, he endured the pain alone and left, never to see me again.

To merge with the Star Core, his memories were erased, and he became the leader of the Star Hunters.

My former beloved became the enemy hunting me down. He tortured me with his own hands until I was on the brink of death. My heart, along with my life, shattered in his hands.

When the dark army descended, he awakened as the Sea God and ruled the four seas. With his memories restored, he gave up everything and traded the Heart of the Ocean to bring me back to life. But for betraying his entire clan, he was trapped in a deep-sea prison, condemned to eternal solitude.

New Atlantis invaded once more, and heaven and earth were overturned.

Gripping the dagger he had left behind, I chose to sacrifice my life and return his Heart of the Ocean. The Sea God's power returned to him. He drove back the invaders and brought peace to the world...
