By Her Side for Eternity

[New story announcement] "The Mermaid Girl Who Sells Pearls" starts June 20. Visit my profile to take a look. Luya is a fish. More precisely, she's a rare Oriental mermaid. After reading "The Little Mermaid," the innocent Luya couldn't help wishing to find a prince of her own. To her delight, it wasn't long before she really did find him! But the man named Wang Zi seems to have no interest in being with her QAQ... Luya: "I like you, Your Highness. Let's be together!" Wang Zi: "How many times do I have to explain? I'm not a prince. My name just happens to sound like 'prince'!" Luya: "But you're the most handsome human I've ever met! Let's date, okay?" Wang Zi: "I've got every kind of woman around me. Why would I date a fish?" Luya: "But..." Wang Zi: "Shut up! I, Wang Zi, would rather stay single my whole life and never find a wife than fall in love with a fish! So give up already!" Watching poor Luya get rejected over and over, Wang Zi's friends couldn't help feeling sorry for her. Sigh, there are so many rich kids in City D. Why did this silly girl have to set her sights on the hardest one to win over, Wang Zi? Yet only six months later, everyone saw Wang Zi carrying Luya, who was sulking with him, over his shoulder. He shouted, "If I ever catch you flirting with that man again, I'll take you home and braise you!" His friends laughed and asked, "Bro Wang, have you changed your tune?" Wang Zi: "...Get lost!" [Blurb for this book] Sibulin has known for a long time that she's not quite like everyone else. The garlic bread her neighbor, Grandma Linda, makes smells amazing, but she can't eat it QAQ. Father Tom often kindly suggests she go to church and pray, but she can't go inside QAQ. The young man at the barbecue restaurant across the street always invites her to watch the sunrise, but she can't see it QAQ. Worst of all, Sibulin has always wanted a boyfriend, but she can't find one QAQ. Because she's been alive in this world all by herself for many years, yet has stayed twenty years old forever. Sibulin always thought she was destined to be alone for the rest of her life, but then a man named Eugene appeared in her long life and said he would stay by her side. Sibulin was so happy, but then Eugene added, "Turn me into a vampire too, so I can be with you forever." Sibulin: "...QAQ Do you have any idea how painful it is to be unable to eat bread or watch the sunrise, and never to grow old?! This is a pit of fire, and you insist on jumping in! Ugh, I don't want to talk to you anymore. We're breaking up! (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻" Eugene: "..." Pairing: A sweet, clueless vampire heroine x a domineering, scheming hero [Please note]: 1.
