A breathtaking mermaid hits on me from the start, tricking me into signing a “life-and-death pact.”
I pretend to believe him, while secretly merging with all seven Primordial Seals.
When he thinks he’s about to die and finally confesses that “our symbiosis was a lie,”
I raise a hand to touch my brow, where the seven seals light up one by one:
“Xu Jinqing, the pact was fake. But now your life really is in my hands.”
Faced with a merfolk prince who wants to use her and monsters from the Other Shore hunting her down, Ye Yun chooses a third path: flip the game board and make the rules herself.
