The Little Mermaid Ran Away from Her Wedding!

[Preorder: Just a Tiny Bit of Heart-Fluttering] As a mermaid of the new era, Tao Nian opposed all parental commands and arranged marriages. When he learned that his grandfather planned to marry him off to Qiongqi, one of the four ancient ferocious beasts, Tao Nian fled without a second thought. He’d heard that Qiongqi was vicious, hideously ugly, and had a huge beauty mark above the corner of his mouth. Tao Nian: Eep! How terrifying! * Huo Yan was the ancient great demon Qiongqi. He was rich, handsome, and incredibly powerful, but cold-hearted and never once touched by love. He’d thought he could marry just about anyone, until he brought home a little runaway mermaid he’d picked up. From a flutter of the heart, to fondness, to deep love, Huo Yan experienced every kind of joy and sorrow because of him. He decided to break off his engagement and give him a proper title. “Mr. Tao, I’ve fallen in love with someone else. I’m sorry, but I can’t marry your grandson.” * When Tao Nian learned that his vicious fiance had called off the engagement himself, he laughed so hard he rolled right off the bed. Hahaha, that terrifying fiance had called off the engagement himself, saying he’d fallen for someone else. Whoever that someone was, he was so pitiful. To be loved by a beast like him, he’d probably be eaten until not a scrap remained. His Huo Yan was much better: handsome, tall, rich, and completely devoted to him! Later Tao Nian was eaten until not a scrap remained, then took Huo Yan home to meet his family. Grandpa Tao: “...” Huo Yan: “...” Tao Nian: “...” Awkward. Tao Nian: So he’d run away from his engagement for nothing? Just a Tiny Bit of Heart-Fluttering When Chu Tang was a first-year high school student, she fell in love at first sight with a second-year university student. That day, the sun was bright. The handsome senior leaned lazily against a parasol tree in a white shirt, casually playing with a lighter. His refined figure struck her heart in an instant. Chu Tang mustered her courage and confessed, but was sadly rejected. When they met again, Chu Tang was a famous voice actor, while the senior was a big shot at a gaming company. He acquired her company and became her immediate superior. This time, Chu Tang hid her feelings and handled their superior-subordinate relationship perfectly. But the man who had once rejected her started acting stranger and stranger. When she drove him home, he left his wallet in the car and called her. “Could you bring it back? I’m at unit xx, apartment xx.” He had a stomachache. Chu Tang kindly bought him medicine, but he refused to take it and insisted on leaning against her shoulder. “I’ll be fine if I lean on you.” She was drinking coffee, and there was milk foam at the corner of her lips. The man cupped her face and leaned in for a kiss. “There, all clean.” Chu Tang: ??? Her heart pounded wildly. But Chu Tang firmly refused to admit she was falling for him. Even if she was, it was only a tiny bit! Really, just a billionth of a bit! Huh? Why had a tiny bit turned into a billionth? Theme: Stay true to yourself and keep striving
