Shen Nian bought a mermaid egg at an auction.
Her friends and family all said she was a fool with money to burn, and that it was just an ostrich egg dressed up as a mermaid egg.
Shen Nian refused to believe it and took it home to incubate.
She kept incubating it, and eventually hatched a merbaby.
But as the child grew, why couldn't this little merchild speak?
At the art gallery, she also picked up a sign language teacher.
He was handsome, gentle, and kind-hearted, but unfortunately mute.
The best part was that the child adored him!
But why was this sign language teacher so clueless?
His light broke, so he called her.
His fish did a backflip, so he video-called her.
He got a tetanus shot and wanted to snuggle into her arms for comfort...
Every time Shen Nian wanted to turn him down, she saw his pitiful little expression, paired with that unbelievably beautiful face that was hard to tell as masculine or feminine.
She gave in.
The thing was, she seemed to enjoy it?
-
Shen Nian was a third-generation rich kid.
Her mother ran a company, her father worked at a research institute, and her sister was highly capable. Shen Nian herself was carefree and didn't take much seriously.
Drinking, clubbing, racing... She did whatever she pleased.
Then the mermaid egg she found hatched.
A chubby little face, an adorable little tail...
She stopped going out and stayed home, thinking about how to raise her little merchild well.
Until her friends from her old crowd called.
"There's a get-together tonight. Are you coming?"
"No, I'm staying home with the kid."

After returning from the deep sea, Qi Yuan carefully laid his plans.
From the moment she bought the egg containing his unborn child to gradually winning her over after becoming her sign language teacher, he planned every step of his conquest.
Watching her grow dependent on him, watching her succumb...
Just when he thought he was about to get what he wanted, Shen Nian ran away with the child!
And so he was back to the daily business of searching for his wife and child...
*: The female lead has had other partners, while the male lead is chaste. The female lead has flaws of her own.
It's pretty good, why isn't it rated? The son of the male and female leads is very cute, he's a little mermaid. The male lead is a mermaid. The female lead's parents are really bad, thankfully they get their comeuppance in the end. The female lead has amnesia, but I actually prefer her before she lost her memory.
