A Scumbag in a Restrictive Romance, But I Picked the Wrong Target [GB]

Ling Er's mission is to play a bad woman, take the merfolk protagonist home, and complete a shameful, adults-only scenario.

But there's one problem:

The cold-faced, lean-muscled man she takes home has a vicious air about him. He looks suspicious when his eyes are open and guarded when they are closed. He's clearly not going to cooperate.

Ling Er glances at the long list of tasks. "So, we're getting spicy, huh? Fine, but don't tell me how to do it."

To speed things up, she coaxes him, tricks him, and threatens him. When he resists during a key scene, for example, she grabs him and says, "There, there, be good. Let me touch you a little more and you'll get used to it."

At last, the mission reaches its final stretch. For the last scene, she has to be especially awful: take the protagonist to a group, half-beast play session, insult his body and trample his dignity, then let him meet his destined partner after being hurt in body and soul.

To make the scene less painful to watch, she picks eight handsome participants and, at her most villainous, orders the protagonist to take off his pants.

Next...

The protagonist glares at her, face dark (scene is going right).

The protagonist unbuckles his belt (scene is going right).

The protagonist reveals his scales (scene is going right).

The protagonist whips a whole row of male models away with his tail (Ling Er: ???)

#Isn't he a mermaid? Why does he have a snake tail instead of legs?!

Realizing she'd picked the wrong target, Ling Er makes a quick getaway!

Some time later, Ling Er finds the real protagonist. Things go smoothly with the little mermaid, and soon she's meeting his family.

It's just that the family meeting is cold and awkward.

That night, before bed, the little mermaid says from outside the door, "My dad isn't as cold-blooded and terrifying as the rumors say. He isn't going to eat you."

Inside, Ling Er is wrapped in a snake tail. Before she can even let out a gasp, an old acquaintance swallows her whole.

Her fingers tremble as they rest on his scales. "I... I'm not used to you doing this."

In reply, the coils tighten around her. Wu Yise's fangs graze her throat, and the tip of his tail winds around her wrist. "Just let me touch you a little more and you'll get used to it."
