The Little Mermaid

Qiao An wakes up in the deep sea and sets out to find a pearl.

To find it, he enters a human safe zone.

At last, he senses the pearl's presence in the human commander with the strongest mental powers.

He gazes at him cautiously.

"Hello, pearl..."

The commander says, "You want to become mates, right?"

Qiao An says, "Huh? I do?"

-

Raymond is the strongest psychic in District Nine, the sun of humanity, shining forever.

No mermaid can match him.

He will burn out and die in agony.

Until Qiao An arrives...

"We're a 100% match."

"Huh?"

"We're destined to become mates."

"But once I find the pearl, I have to go home."

Check out my upcoming novel: The Cross-Dressing Secret Is Out, and Now My Wolfish Subordinate Won't Leave Me Alone

After her parents die in a car accident, Jiang Nan hastily takes over the family business. The pressure mounts, and she lies awake night after night. The only way she can manage to fall asleep is by indulging in her rather unusual fetish: wearing skirts.

Until one day, an accident leads her employee Wen Zexi to discover her secret.

Wen Zexi drops his usual polite, mild-mannered facade and blocks her path with a wicked grin. "So President Jiang really does wear skirts. What are we going to do now that I've found out?"

Jiang Nan presses a hand against his broad chest, her fingertips curling ever so slightly. "What do you want to do? Get promoted and a raise?"

Wen Zexi scoffs and pulls down the zipper at the back of Jiang Nan's skirt.

With Wen Zexi around, Jiang Nan's sleep improves by leaps and bounds. He's handsome, and he's good in bed. Things are pretty nice between them just as they are.

Until she accidentally sees his conversation with his friends: [Just having fun. The old guy's got plenty of tricks, and he's really hot.]

Jiang Nan stubs out the cigarette in her hand and smiles.

That's right. Just having fun.

-

Wen Zexi was born rich and adored by everyone. He is the youngest racing champion in the country.

But his parents think racing is too dangerous. Even if he won't join the family company, they insist he get a proper job.

Wen Zexi has no choice, so he picks the company whose boss looks the most appealing to him.

And what a delightful surprise he finds there.

Wen Zexi can't get enough and is hopelessly hooked, until he hears that Jiang Nan is planning to enter an arranged marriage.

He presses her for an answer, his face dark. Jiang Nan replies nonchalantly, "We were just having fun. You didn't think I was serious, did you?"

At a charity gala, the notoriously intimidating second young master of the Wen family suddenly appears. A friend nudges Jiang Nan and asks curiously, "Why does he keep looking at you?"

Looking at her former employee, now the second young master of the Wen family, Jiang Nan laughs. "Who knows? Maybe he's cross-eyed."

Before the gala is over, the supposedly intimidating second young master of the Wen family has red-rimmed eyes. He pins his former boss down, fierce yet pitiful. "Big sis, I bought the new skirt from your favorite brand. Please, won't you pay attention to me?"
