Ruan Yu is the second prince of the merfolk and the next ruler of Atlantis. According to his people's traditions, he has to go ashore and prove himself before inheriting the throne. But just before he set off, he had a dream. In the dream, he was a hopeless romantic. Even after his crush manipulated him, disfigured him, and sent him to a laboratory, he had no regrets. He finally escaped after countless hardships, only to be hit head-on by news of his ex's lavish wedding. Furious, he turned evil and prepared to flood the world. But after he failed, they cut out his heart and ripped off his scales. They even chopped off his tail to use as an ingredient in medicine. He never made it back to the deep blue sea he loved before he died. Ruan Yu thought it was terrifying!! That very night, he downloaded the national anti-fraud app and crammed on how to avoid scams. He even changed his route to shore. But he still had to finish his mission. How could he become a true heartthrob? Ruan Yu had an idea. After hauling bricks for three days to save enough for the trip, he went straight to audition for "Practice and Producer," the latest hit variety show from Tomato TV. So a month later, the lousy ex who had been waiting in some remote fishing village until he was practically dried out by the wind, but never saw Ruan Yu, spotted the news of his overnight fame on TV. The only downside, probably, was that the people who wanted to touch his tail could circle the Earth three times, and the older guy at home was very unhappy every night. When he was unhappy, Ruan Yu didn't get to be happy either. If you ask why, his back aches, his legs are weak, and he wants to cry. #What bad intentions could Yu Yu possibly have? #He just wants everyone to adore him. [Wake up.
