[One heroine]➕ [Everyday life]➕ [Slow-paced]➕ [Sweet romance]
She is a mermaid princess risen from the depths of the sea. He is a hopeless young man who jumped from a bridge.
A sea pearl that had lain dormant for a hundred years entwined two destinies that should never have crossed, deep in the icy river.
“Hey, how can you be so stupid? You can't even pick a decent way to die!” Liuyun grumbled, poking Jiang Chen on the forehead. Her damp fingertips glimmered with an icy blue light.
Jiang Chen looked helplessly at the little mermaid before him. “I owe you my life now. Could you at least be a little gentler?”
“Hmph! You're mine now! You'd better learn to treat me well!” Liuyun put her hands on her hips, the tip of her tail lifting proudly.
“Treat you... well?” Jiang Chen thought there was something very wrong with that choice of words.
“That's right!” She leaned closer until the tip of her nose almost touched his. Her voice suddenly turned soft and sweet. “From now on, you can have half my happiness, and I'll have half of yours.”
“Where did you learn to say things like that?” Jiang Chen looked into her sparkling eyes, and his heart skipped a beat.
“Grandma told me! A mermaid's bond isn't a shackle, it's a home.” She took his hand and pressed it to her chest. “So, Jiang Chen, will you come home with me? To the sea where I grew up, to see the stars and the coral, and the coral bed I loved best as a child!”
He heard his own voice, carrying a strange yet certain warmth. “All right.”
The willful yet pure-hearted little mermaid made their promise then and there: they would share life's joys and sorrows equally, and from that moment on, the young man belonged to her.
Bound by a mermaid's bond, they leave behind the hardships of the human world and journey together into the boundless blue, with the mountains and sea at their side, through life and death.
