Synopsis

A shameless, flexible thrill-seeking thief ✕ a deranged merfolk pavilion master

[Jiang Changyi, who has chronic laziness, gets bound to a romance System, but all he wants is to lie flat, slack off, and get by on stolen treasures.]

One slip-up sends him straight into the forbidden grounds of Gui Nong, the most powerful pavilion master in the capital. He not only steals a priceless treasure, but brazenly leaves a note: “Nothing special.”

The next second, Gui Nong pins him hard against a table. The System suddenly goes berserk: [Ultimate mission unlocked: Make him fall for you!]

Jiang Changyi: “...?”

At last, Jiang Changyi roars, “You want me to flirt with a big shot who has no heart and is a cold-blooded fish?!”

With the mission starting in hell and his target being a heartless nonhuman, Jiang Changyi promptly packs up and runs. But in the dead of night, a cold figure corners him by the door.

Gui Nong's gaze darkens, the corner of his mouth lifting. “What's the rush?” “Either marry me or enter into a bond with me. Pick one.”

Jiang Changyi: “Gui Nong, go to hell!!!”

Wasn't he supposed to be heartless and cold? So why was he suddenly forcing a marriage?

This lazy fish only wanted to slack off, but somehow ended up with a lunatic husband!

It's a great book, and I personally found the content excellent. Uh... The cover is a little... Well, not ugly, but a bit tacky. I hope the author can change the cover later, since the cover is a plus for a book (I'm not nitpicking, but this cover really makes the book seem a bit bland; I just scrolled past it immediately.

It's really good. I personally don't like the mermaid theme, but I like this one. I clicked on it several times, but couldn't get into it until I saw other people's comments praising the writing style and saying it's a breath of fresh air among Tomato's works.

This book is so good... It's really amazing! I randomly clicked on it, and judging from the title, I thought it would be a typical, mindless sweet romance novel, but it's completely different. The first few chapters felt typical of typical romance novels, but the more I read, the more addictive it became. It's really good... I especially loved the two chapters about the Little Mermaid.

This is so good! The author's writing is excellent. I shed many tears while reading it. Xiao Jiang and Gui Nong are truly well-developed characters, especially after reading the epilogue. Both of them have love in this relationship, but they also have consideration for each other. Compared to a simple and naive love, the epilogue's supplement is an unexpected surprise.

This is a 1v1 story with both protagonists being virgins and both being strong. It's a mix of sweet and angst, so if you prefer pure romance or pure angst, please proceed with caution. Also, if you're into extreme bottom-dominant or top-dominant stories, please don't read this. 🤭 The author's writing is excellent; every character is distinct and three-dimensional.

This is absolutely amazing! The author portrayed the tension between the two characters so well…it was so satisfying to read, my emotions were constantly going up and down! But the writing is truly impeccable! I highly recommend it to everyone!!! 🥺

No spoilers: As a reader with ten years of experience, I can honestly say that the plot and romance in this book are really well-written. The synopsis isn't misleading, but it's poorly written. The writing style is smooth and not amateurish. The emotional impact of the wallpaper scene is really strong, and the plot flows smoothly. The transitions between the beginning and end are incredibly clean.

You'll know how amazing this book is once you read it! It's absolutely divine, incredibly good! It might be the author's newest book, so the rating is a bit low, but don't worry about the rating. You'll see how good it is once you read it. The male lead is incredibly charismatic and wildly passionate, while the female lead is very self-assured, clearly knows what she wants, and has a bit of a guiding, supportive lover vibe. Anyway, it's absolutely fantastic!!! 🥰😘🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Highly recommended! Gui Nong's coercion and intellect are simply god-like. He plans everything perfectly, anticipating every move. His coercion is just right, not overly forceful. It's a very good read, you know? One thing I didn't like was that Gui Nong didn't even ask Jiang Changyi before saying that Jiang Changyi wouldn't tell him he wasn't from this world.

For those of you who are just starting out, don't worry! I absolutely love this story! You know how amazing it is to stumble upon this when you're looking for something to read? Seriously! It's super good, the characters are very engaging, each one is fully developed, and the plot flows incredibly smoothly. I'm confident this story will become a hit!
