Oh No! I Think I Raised My Merman Wrong

[Please check out my upcoming novel: The Big Shot's Wild Moves Have Become Legendary Again [Infinite]] 1. On impulse, An Sui spent everything he had to buy a mermaid who had nearly been put down after injuring five owners in a row. He had heard that mermaids were vicious and cunning, fiercely territorial and possessive, and incapable of loyalty. Their physical prowess, however, made them nature's top predators. Any creature that tried to offend them, even an owner who had raised them for years, would be killed without hesitation. An Sui had no experience raising mermaids. On the very first day he brought one home, he accidentally grabbed its hand. An Sui was horrified: "..." I'm done for! Yet the savage, violent mermaid only gently supported his hand. Its pitch-black eyes seemed devoid of emotion, yet held a storm unfathomably deep. It looked at him and curved its lips into a faint smile. 2. Since birth, Ying Yue had known it was incomplete. Something far away was calling it home. But its mind was always in a haze, and it could only drift through life in a daze. Until one day, a silver-haired young man brought it home. His slender limbs were more fragile than any other life it had ever seen, but when his hand touched it It felt a tremor from deep within its soul. A gentle power entered its mind, parting the unfathomable mist. From that moment, it knew it had to suppress its animal nature and rein in its brutality if it wanted to hold him in its arms for good. 3. As a representative of the intuitive school of mermaid-raising, An Sui had always done his utmost to care for his mermaid according to his own understanding. He had even successfully unlocked the achievement of being able to cuddle and touch it whenever he wanted. He was quite pleased with himself, thinking he couldn't possibly be doing a better job raising a mermaid. That is, until one day, when he was chatting with his best friend, Chi Shui. An Sui: "I can touch Ying Yue whenever I want. When I feed it grapes, it even touches my teeth. Yesterday, I gave it a bath, and it held me while we slept all night." Chi Shui, who didn't even remember that the mermaid An Sui raised was called Ying Yue: "You're dating someone? Since when?!" An Sui: "???" Important Content Warnings 1. The protagonist grows over time. An Sui will gradually learn to think, be kind, and have faith, and will make peace with himself. At first, he may seem a bit dim, so if that's not your thing, let's not put each other through this. 2. The mermaid lore is entirely my own invention! My own invention! My own invention! Don't overanalyze it. Mermaids are imaginary creatures anyway, so just assume it makes sense. If you can't accept that, run! Upcoming novel: The Big Shot's Wild Moves Have Become Legendary Again [Infinite] One day, a strange mark appeared on Jiang Hansheng's palm, and he was pulled into a place called the Strange Eye Space. The only way to survive was to complete the tasks assigned by the Strange Eye. They said the horrors in the missions were unsolvable vengeful ghosts. They said the missions were so difficult that death was all but certain. They said... Beneath a dim parasol tree, a hideous woman said she was hungry and wanted to eat a fresh heart. Jiang Hansheng struck with his knife and stabbed through her chest. "Eat it while it's hot. Don't be shy." In a gloomy garden, a headless boy hugged his own head and asked, "Where's your ball? Find it so we can play together." Jiang Hansheng snatched the boy's head and kicked it away. "Do you even know how to play? One ball is enough for two people." In the eerie dining hall, the chef gripped a cleaver. Anyone who wasted food would die beneath his blade. Jiang Hansheng pried open the chef's mouth, grabbed the severed fingers from his bowl, and stuffed the whole lot inside. "Eat up! You'll be punished if you waste food!" The horrors: ??? Are you out of your mind? Who's the real ghost here?! · At first, when everyone heard that Jiang Hansheng had just been released from a mental hospital, the other players avoided him like the plague. Only Shi Ye trusted Jiang Hansheng's judgment and was willing to turn his back to him. Jiang Hansheng resolved, "My teammate is too innocent and kind. I have to protect him." Only later did Jiang Hansheng realize that, in this world, the biggest lie was not "Study hard and get into college, then life will be easy," but "Shi Ye is innocent and kind." Shi Ye had chosen his own name. He had no parents, no past, and no future. The eerie game that was terrifying and deadly to others was just another way of life for him. Then one day, Jiang Hansheng stood in front of him, and for the first time, Shi Ye felt desire. A fire blazed in his desolate chest. Even if that man was the moon in the sky, Shi Ye refused to accept the impossible. He was determined to pull the moon into his arms. Theme: No matter what hardships you face, never abandon your faith.
