The Wasteland Merfolk Turned Me into the Opposite Sex

Sima Ling transmigrates.

She arrives on a continent where electricity has failed, humans have mutated, and beast hordes run rampant.

In the original story, she's a minor cannon-fodder character with a fire ability who only wants to marry the overpowered male lead. She soon dies in a beast horde.

To change her fate of dying horribly in a beast's jaws, the moment she arrives, she heads to the seaside to catch fish...

That's right, the culprit behind the beast hordes is a bioengineered merperson.

This fish not only steals the one she loves and becomes the overpowered male lead's darling, but also gathers beasts to attack the village. He's practically her destined nemesis.

Sima Ling brings her knife down in one swift stroke.

It all happens in an instant.

The merperson, wrapped in plastic bags and washed ashore, opens his eyes and says weakly, "Woman, was it you who saved me?"

Sima Ling silently puts away her knife. "It was me!"

Later, the merperson differentiates into a male and comes to repay her.

And she can't resist, ahem.

The reborn overpowered male lead has seen all the world's splendor, but he still can't let go of his childhood sweetheart, who died tragically back then. He comes to her house with hopeful eyes and watches his childhood sweetheart cook a meal, only for her to give it to the bioengineered merperson who made his life miserable in his previous life.

She even calls him "Hubby."

Overpowered male lead: Damn.
