This arrogant, tsundere male lead not only eats her food and uses her things, but even threatens her. “Bring my brother back to life.” “Don’t give me a girlfriend.” “Delete all those melodramatic plotlines.” Faced with these unreasonable demands, the timid Yu Ruo'an can only say, “Okay, okay, okay.” But who would’ve guessed there was more to come? “Come here. I’ll be your boyfriend.” “Uh… didn’t you 266Reads9.3Score—14d adds

   I finished this novel in two parts, putting it aside for a while in between. Initially, I was drawn in by the lively, chaotic interactions between Jiang Yan and Yu Ruoan, but as I read on, the heavier parts, the question of how two worlds could coexist, became too painful to bear, and I wanted to escape. It sat gathering dust for a long time, but when I reopened it, I was still moved to tears. 😢 Both characters wanted the best for each other, but they overlooked the guilt the other felt due to the unequal exchange of affection, the sorrow and fear born of love, and the unease Jiang Yan felt leaving their former world behind to remain in the world of their loved ones. What made me a little uncomfortable was the complementary relationship between Ruan Luoluo and Jiang Yan – one active, one quiet – which was nice. However, the personalities of the female lead and Jiang Yan weren't necessarily incompatible. Although they seemed like two tranquil lakes, upon closer inspection, they were different; two lakes could converge into a larger lake, flowing into a wider ocean. There was no inherent compatibility or incompatibility. Although the female lead was introverted, she was a cheerful girl who brought joy to those she knew. Of course, I don't mean to break up any couples. It's inevitable that the young man, dashing and spirited, will attract the female lead's attention. Like a silent mountain meeting a ray of sunshine, introversion and composure are also a suitable match. If Jiang Yan had the chance to see Yu Ruo'an's earnest and interesting side, his impression of the female lead would have been even deeper. What will happen next is unknown; fate is the most difficult thing to understand between people. Of course, even though the female lead has liked someone for many years, she only dares to secretly love them. There are also cases where unrequited love becomes real, but of course, there needs to be an opportunity. Gu Yinan, seemingly fickle but actually the most devoted, liked someone the earliest but hesitated and tested the waters before silently protecting them. Although he had the advantage, being too familiar with someone makes love the hardest thing to do. I think his ending is very fitting; letting go of someone you've liked for a very long time takes a long time. 🥺 Undeniably, the vivid characters leap off the page, and it's like stepping into their world.

   Both of them are arrogant, especially the first one, who's such a tsundere. But what can we do? Cangming is a prince! His master doesn't want him anymore. He's clearly angry that his master doesn't want him, doesn't give him a title, and still makes so many demands on him—that makes him even angrier. Both are about mermaids, and I highly recommend them!
