The Moonlight of My Dreams Is Actually the King of the Merfolk

Jiang Ling was once the heartthrob of Xuncheng. Ten years after she was forced to become a mermaid and died, she was reborn with the power to control water.

Not long after swimming from the sea back to land, a mermaid wrapped his arms around her waist and wailed, "Mermaid King! You've finally come back!!"

Jiang Ling: ...? Is this some kind of scam?

She didn't take it seriously. Instead, she turned around and went to flirt with a refined, elegant man who looked easy to seduce.

It wasn't until she used her water-controlling magic to summon the Mermaid King's scepter and casually blasted the villain's stronghold with a water cannon, rescuing all the mermaids...

The mermaids cheered. Jiang Ling stared at her hands in disbelief and weakly explained, "I just waved my hand. I didn't even use any force..."

The mermaids got even more excited and shouted at the top of their lungs, "The Mermaid King is mighty! Your Majesty! Please accept our humble bow!!"

Jiang Ling: "..."

After the people recovered from their shock, an uproar broke out! Jiang Ling, who had been treated as a freak and hounded by everyone ten years ago, was actually such a powerful Mermaid King?

That very day, a government department came to her with an earnest request. "Miss Jiang, we've had torrential rain and serious flooding in our city for days. Could you help pump out the water and relieve the flooding?"

Jiang Ling: ...?

-

Ji Mingxi was once an ancient divine tree, upright and noble by nature. To repay Jiang Ling for saving his life, he made a pact to become her guardian deity.

Then an accident scrambled his memories.

He mistakenly believed that Jiang Ling was deeply in love with him, and that he was a peerless, devoted lover who had spent years searching for his beloved!

Faced with Jiang Ling, who had lost all her memories, he set aside his grief and disappointment, simply grateful that she had returned alive.

Just as he was putting on the airs of the legitimate partner and trying every trick in the book to seduce her, make her jealous, and chase away her admirers... after doing everything he could and shouldn't...

All of his muddled memories suddenly corrected themselves!

Ji Mingxi: "..."

She had never loved him?

He didn't even have a title?

He had just been imagining it all along?!

On the day of her blind date, An Yu discovered that her date was none other than her sworn enemy, Bai Lang, the big boss of a robotics company.

An Yu was a technician responsible for testing robots for compliance. She had recently had quite a few of Bai Lang's newly released robots decommissioned, too.

Adding old grudges to new ones, the two nearly came to blows.

Later, work forced them to cooperate. The pair of rivals were stuck together in the same room, and every day was a complete disaster.

Once the collaboration ended, An Yu felt that her miserable days were finally over. She packed her bags and planned to run away that very night.

But Bai Lang blocked her path, his expression dark.

An Yu eyed him warily. "What do you want?"

Bai Lang gritted his teeth. "Are you blind?"

An Yu's face went blank. She took a few seconds to prepare to curse him out.

The man finally couldn't hold back and confessed, "An Yu, I like you! Can't you tell?"

An Yu nearly failed to stop herself from swinging her knife. Then she came to her senses. "...?"
