The Substitute Little Mermaid Makes Her Debut in the Center Position

Most mermaids in fairy tales cry over love, and Lu Beibei, blessed with S-rank beauty, is no exception. As soon as she comes ashore, a CEO takes her for his substitute for the woman he holds dear. The little mermaid makes herself small for love and tries to imitate that woman in every way, only for the CEO to sneer, “You're not her,” and forbid her from contacting the outside world. Crushed, the little mermaid gives up on herself, drinks until she ruins her voice and reveals her tail, and is sent to a research center for experimentation. Before long, she dies... Lu Beibei is lying in the bathtub when her mermaid tail emerges, and she suddenly comes to her senses. She realizes she's the cannon-fodder female character in a CEO romance novel aimed at women. Love? She wants no part of it, and she won't play along with the plot. Bored, she puts on a mask and livestreams online, winning countless fans with her heavenly voice. When Lu Beibei receives an invitation to Starshine Girl, she accepts without hesitation, dumps the CEO, and joins the talent competition. Before she knows it, she's debuted in the center position. The whole world thinks the masked singer and uploader “Crispy Little Mermaid” is ugly but has a sweet voice. They generously declare that they'd be fine with an ugly girl. But when the little mermaid takes off her mask onstage, everyone is stunned. Who is this fairy?! [Cover art used with permission from artist Bei Ming] Theme: Chase your dreams and shine without limits
