Blurb:

As pollution from garbage steadily worsened the marine environment, Chu Yue, the last mermaid in the world, decided to reluctantly leave his ocean home and head ashore to live on the distant land.

Chu Yue still remembered what his mermaid grandfather had told him about human life on land.

Low buildings throughout the city, wide roads, a clear blue sky, human vendors hawking their wares... These were all facets of life in human society.

Leaving the ocean where he had lived for many years, Chu Yue felt a trace of unease. Carrying his hopes and anticipation for a new life, he set off on the new path to a life on land, doing his best to disguise himself as an ordinary human.

But after coming ashore...

Chu Yue looked at the dense cluster of towering buildings in the city and the streams of cars passing along its many roads. Their horns blared without end, and the sidewalks teemed with countless pedestrians, stretching farther than he could see.

Everyone held a small object like a little brick in their hands. They walked with their heads down, swiping their fingers across it.

Chu Yue: "..."

Maybe Mermaid Grandpa had some misunderstandings about life on land.

Gu Fengting was speeding down the road in a Rolls-Royce worth tens of millions. When he reached a traffic light, it happened to turn red.

Just then, a young man who had been standing perfectly still on the sidewalk suddenly ran straight into the front of his car.

Seeing this, Gu Fengting's first thought was that he'd run into a scammer trying to stage an accident. He sneered inwardly: "Daring to fake an accident with a Rolls-Royce? This kid's got guts!"

But with a bang, the front of the globally limited-edition Rolls-Royce, reportedly worth tens of millions, caved in. The young man who had been mistaken for a scammer merely rolled on the spot. He got some dust on himself, but otherwise seemed completely unharmed.

The young man gazed at him without blinking, his clear eyes full of innocent confusion. He asked cautiously, "Sir, I'm sorry. I hit your car. Is your car okay?"

Gu Fengting: "..."

He suspected his car had staged an accident with someone else, but he had no proof.
