According to ancient texts, a mysterious creature called the merfolk lives beyond the distant South Sea. They have human heads and fish tails, allowing them to live underwater like fish, yet they have not abandoned the art of weaving. More wondrous still, when merfolk cry, their tears turn into precious pearls as they fall.
The merfolk of legend dwell deep in the South Sea in the east, where countless mysteries and treasures lie hidden. A thin layer of eel skin covers the area around their eyes, lending them an especially bewitching beauty. Their large, limpid eyes are like the deep ocean, full of allure and mystery. Their beautiful, ornate tails glimmer brilliantly amid the waves, as if woven from countless pearls.
At night, merfolk often sit quietly on the reefs, using their clear, melodious voices to attract passing ships and travelers. Once someone is enchanted by their song, they cannot help approaching the merfolk, and eventually lose their soul. The merfolk also have long, damp hair that gives off a faint orchid fragrance, as soft and smooth as silk... Even Bian Yichen never imagined he would actually meet a mermaid from legend here, let alone be about to embark on a cross-species romance with her...
