Song Yu transmigrates into... a mermaid being presented as tribute to a tyrant.
Mermaids are breathtakingly beautiful, with limpid eyes, peerless grace, and voices that can bewitch the heart. Song Yu loves his new look, but what good is that?
On the day he is presented as tribute, the mermaid's unparalleled beauty bewitches everyone there, except the tyrant. And then... the tyrant has him executed in a fit of rage for distracting him from matters of state!
Executed! Aaaaaah!
Song Yu screams.
Song Yu doesn't want to die.
So he carefully hides his peerless beauty, determined not to bewitch a single person, and finally survives the tribute ceremony.
But can someone please explain why the tyrant comes to his palace every single night?
Why?!
Once isn't enough, then there's another time, and another, and another, aaaaaah!
Finally, one time, after the tyrant has bullied Song Yu until the corners of his eyes are red, Song Yu swings his tail and smacks the tyrant to the floor.
Song Yu: "!!!"
Will the tyrant kill him? Sob, sob. Little Song the mermaid trembles as he hides by the pool, as far from the tyrant as possible.
The tyrant: "..."
No, I don't want to kill you. I just want to...

Blurb
Han Yu is born into the mermaid kingdom as its most beloved little prince. His parents adore each other, and his powerful older brother is the heir, respected and admired by the people. Han Yu lives a happy, carefree life.
No one knows that from the day he turns one hundred, Han Yu dreams every night about a human child.
The child is miserable. Though he is a prince, he lives in the cold palace, bullied by eunuchs and maids, beaten at the drop of a hat, and left hungry and cold.
Han Yu's sympathy overflows. When the child is cold, he sends clothes; when he's hungry, he sends food. After finally raising the child to adulthood, Han Yu never dreams of the poor thing again.
But life is unpredictable. One day, a whirlpool appears in the ocean and pulls Han Yu in.
When he opens his eyes again,
the once-miserable child, now a domineering ruler, sits high on a platform, his gaze icy. "Slash his face and throw him out."
"???"
Everyone knows that the tyrant Ling Jundu of the Duan Dynasty has a dearly departed first love. In pursuit of wealth and status, people compete to send him substitutes who resemble his lost love, but things never go well.
Just when they think this time will be no different, they see that...
The substitute, who had been keeping his head down, has somehow appeared in front of the tyrant. He stands there brimming with confidence and slaps the tyrant right across the face without a hint of affectation:
"How dare you! Who gave you the right to talk to me like that?"
Everyone draws a sharp breath. Good heavens, this substitute is bold! And exciting!
As everyone holds their breath, ready to mourn the substitute, they see their usually cold and ruthless emperor turn red at the tips of his ears, hoist the substitute over his shoulder, and hurry away.
Everyone suddenly understands. Oh, so His Majesty likes a feisty one!
They decide that from now on, this is the kind of beauty they'll send him!
