I.
While fleeing for her life, A Jiao is picked up by a human.
The prince who picked her up gives a sinister smile as she turns into a mermaid. "It's you."
The prince takes over a flower-filled, waterside estate on the outskirts of the capital, supposedly to "raise fish."
The mermaid he picked up is a lucky koi. The prince's back stops aching, his legs stop hurting, and even his madness is cured. The Empress Dowager, who has been trying to undermine him, even comes to recognize him as family?
A Jiao somehow winds up on the prince's pirate ship. Before they marry, she asks him, "Are you marrying me just because I'm a lucky koi?"
The prince pats A Jiao on the head and sighs. "Remember that brat you bit? The brat grew up and came back to marry you."
Only after A Jiao becomes the cherished little wife of the man who adores her does she learn that the red thread tying her to the prince was joined long ago.
II.
The Prince of Chu, born under a fate that dooms his wives to die and leaves him alone, has once again caused his betrothed to die.
Now the ministers hide their daughters away as quickly as they can, terrified that the emperor will persist and arrange another fatal marriage for the Prince of Chu.
The grieving prince picks up a mermaid. Mermaids are pure by nature, and this one is deeply grateful to him.
Most importantly, the girl had taken a bite out of the prince's heart long ago.
Knowing how unlucky his fate is, the Prince of Chu clutches his chest and hesitates. The Imperial Astrologer makes a quick calculation, pats him on the shoulder, and says, "Don't be afraid, young man. Your beloved is a lucky koi. Your fate of bringing misfortune to your wife can be broken."
So the Prince of Chu decides to raise fish.
