Merfolk Breeding Plan

Merfolk, who rule the oceans, hold a high status, but their birth rate is so low that they're on the verge of extinction. Yu Xiao is one of them. Curious about the human world, one day he decided to go ashore and find a human to have a little merchild with, to strengthen his family line. And so, rumors of a mysterious student began circulating around the School of Life Sciences at Haida University. This student had a strikingly beautiful face and went around hitting on people, always opening with: "Would you have a baby for me? The kind with a tail." Professor Zhou scoffed when he heard: "Have what? With what? Is there a throne at home that needs an heir?" Yu Xiao's eyes lit up. "How did he know?! He's so smart! I need to figure out how to pass that on to my baby!" * Zhou Yesheng, a professor at Haida University's School of Life Sciences, is a promising young research star, but he's aloof, strict, and indifferent to others. His daily schedule is old-fashioned, and campus life is as dull as can be. Until one day, he found a badly wounded fish-man on the beach. His daily routine became speeding through the old city in the middle of the night, fighting mutated creatures to the death, rushing home before dawn to fry ten heart-shaped eggs for his wife, then hurrying off to teach his early-morning class. Call it an ordinary campus life, with a little secret-agent work on the side. ** A clingy merfolk shou x a tsundere feline gong A slightly cyberpunk setting, made up as I go A potential trigger warning: Due to the story setup, the gong's perspective is the primary one for the first seven chapters * Next book: "What?! My Arranged Marriage Partner Is a Little Vampire" Lin Xuehe was born into a vampire family, but was frail from birth. He was kept in an incubator for twenty years before finally seeing the outside world, and still looked like a three-year-old child. On the first day he left the secret room, his family sent him straight to his arranged marriage partner's room. His family promised that as long as he could get his fiance under his thumb, he would fully recover and be able to enjoy a free life of eating, drinking, and having fun outside. Could there really be something this good? Lin Xuehe lay on the huge hotel bed, quietly running his tongue over his fangs. The first step toward his new life was to bite his fiance into submission. * When Lu Chong came of age, he learned that his family had a tradition of arranging marriages with a vampire family. At a loss for words, he ran away from home and went off on his own to make it in the entertainment industry. After a night of filming, he returned to his hotel, only to find that his family had sent someone... no, something, to his bed. "You're my fiance, right?" The three-year-old was shorter than Lu Chong's leg, but wrapped his arms around his neck and tried his hardest to bite him with his baby teeth. "Chomp, chomp, chomp, chomp, chomp." Lu Chong: "..." Fiance? Ridiculous. * After they moved in together: Lu Chong pressed one hand to the bloody bite mark, and reached across the bed with the other. A beauty with skin as pale as snow fell into his arms. Silver-white hair spilled down like moonlight, and his pale red eyes looked both satisfied and innocent. "I want another sip, hubby." * A clever, sweet-talking, secretly scheming shou x a seemingly proper, actually devoted gong The vampires can temporarily return to their adult form only after drinking blood. Theme: Love and freedom are what keep life going.
