The Little Mermaid's Rise to a Feel-Good Story

Everyone knows that the Regent dotes on a young woman with the might of the entire nation behind him. The rumor is that she rescued the Regent on a deserted island. A white-robed gentleman by the roadside scoffed. "If I'd known someone else would get to her first, I would have let him drown." But the white-bearded old man said that the man had to die at her hands, or she wouldn't have bothered to save him. After one failed assassination attempt after another, Yu Yue's body gradually became transparent. Terrified that her time was running out, she drew her blade once more and charged at Shi Chen. Shi Chen: "Do you really want me dead that badly?" She turned the blade around and plunged it into her own chest, too lazy to answer. Shi Chen's eyes were bloodshot. "Fine. From this day on, we swear an oath in blood: in life and death, we share the same fate!" He drew his blade, took her hand, and drove it into his own chest. The tip pierced through his back. A generation's great ruler died at the hands of a woman. At last, Yu Yue thought her task was done and she could go home. But the white-bearded old man who arrived was trembling with fear. "Y-You've gotten yourself into serious trouble!" Yu Yue: "?" Star Lord Du'e: "You killed the ancient ancestor, who lives as long as Heaven itself!" Yu Yue: "?" She had killed only one person, yet ended up paying for it with her own life. From then on, everyone in the Ninth Heaven knew that the ancient ancestor, whose life was as long as Heaven's, had been killed by a woman, and had been perfectly willing to die by her hand. -- A little scene -- By the cold lakeside, a bewitching creature with a human body and a fish's tail was pinned to the ground, a blade at its throat. "A monster like this should simply be killed." Yu Yue looked up. "You mistake a fish's eye for a pearl, and now you want to kill the very person who saved your life?" The other person faltered. Yu Yue seized the chance to run. Shi Chen gazed at the surface of the water, the person in his arms deathly pale. Later, Yu Yue still ended up falling into Shi Chen's grasp. "I've caught you, my little mermaid." Yu Yue: "..." She wanted to curse him, but the words were too filthy. Theme: Never forget your original purpose, and always remember your mission.
