Synopsis

[BG + happy ending + obsessive, lovesick hero + gloomy, insecure man + both virgins + angsty romance + he runs, she chases + star-crossed love + dog-training fiction]

"A brilliant, cold, emotionless researcher VS a bloodthirsty, loyal experimental merman"

Note: The hero has the status of a legitimate husband, the tolerance of a concubine, and the tricks of a courtesan. He’s intensely jealous and will pin the heroine against a wall or force himself on her at the slightest provocation, but she’ll usually reward him with a tranquilizer shot.

Even after he becomes stronger later on, he’ll wear a suppression collar. He would never go against the heroine’s wishes.

An Ning was born with a genetic defect and was emotionally detached.

A genius is only one step away from madness. She researched genetic modification solely to treat the short lifespan caused by her congenital defect.

Later, An Ning found an unclassified mutant mermaid who was almost old enough to come of age.

A silver-haired mermaid, a species she’d never seen before.

So An Ning took him home.

Later, An Ning discovered that the organization imprisoning and torturing mermaids was conducting illegal experiments.

Then came the whole package: reporting them, earning merit, collecting a reward, and getting promoted.

Using the mutant mermaid, she developed a genetic modification drug that could extend the human lifespan. Once her results were published, she gained both fame and fortune, and retired early.

But when she wanted to release the mermaid back into the sea, one particular fish refused to go.

“Big sister, are you going to abandon me?”

“Big sister, I have nothing left. All I have is you.”

P.S. At this point, the poor thing was already an S-rank dangerous organism, wearing a suppression collar and under compulsory supervision.

Mo Yu’s state of mind: I hate humans. I hate this woman! → Why is she getting engaged to someone else? I hate this… → Big sister, big sister, big sister, look at me~

"Whatever choice she makes, it concerns whether he wants to take things further. Please, give him a reason to hate you more, or love you more." In the early stages, Mo Yu and An Ning were a classic case of love at first sight. She clearly only saw him as a valuable experimental subject, yet he hopelessly fell in love with her, a researcher.

"My Castration is So Delicious!" Features a highly intelligent and aloof female PhD student and a broken, damp merman man. It's a rare story where the female lead always has the upper hand, and it's a heterosexual romance. Finally, it's not a story where the male lead is simply a gender-swapped version of a weak female lead. Everyone, come and see this!!

This is so good! 😢 The author is such a great writer, it's so enjoyable to read. The little mermaid is totally a succubus! Our heroine is emotionally detached at first, but she slowly discovers her changing feelings for the mermaid, and this tug-of-war is so satisfying! Author, please update soon, I'm craving more! 💕

It's so good!!! It's the first time I've seen such a calm and intelligent female lead; the character is so fresh, and the male lead is so cute too.

Wow, so satisfying! The female lead is a completely rational and calm person, while the male lead is a creepy and crazy little mermaid. He runs away and she chases, a deeply abusive love story. The female lead is not very perceptive and lacks romantic understanding due to her personality.

In my opinion, the premise of this book is quite good. The character development in the early stages is particularly vivid, and the cause and effect are explained clearly. There is sexual tension between the mermaid and the female lead. However, the subsequent plot develops too slowly, remaining stagnant at a certain point. I was at around the stage where the mermaid grows scales.

No doubt about it. The synopsis made the writing seem a bit amateurish, and while some parts of the story are a bit ordinary, overall I really love it. The character development is great, the plot is fantastic, and the sweetness that's painstakingly crafted is the sweetest! 😳

I've been reading for about an hour now, and the overall flow of the story is incredibly clear. The beginning is a mix of angst and sweetness; the male lead has that murderous urge, but he also tries his best to control it, which is really great. And the female lead is cold and aloof, but I feel like she probably loves the male lead too, but she's pretending not to, which is really captivating. 🥰🥰😘

It's such a passionate and intense story, I love it so much! The rating hasn't been released yet, and this kind of female lead is extremely rare. It's rare to see this kind of subject matter written so refreshingly. It's a clash between reason and emotion, so intensely moving and captivating.

Super good! The author's portrayal of the female lead's gradual emotional changes towards the merman is exceptionally well done. It doesn't just gloss over her initial attraction; instead, it uses the contrast between her unintentional attention to the merman, her gradual indulgence, and the unique treatment he receives that other experimental subjects don't offer.
