Pretending to Be a Mermaid [Interstellar]

Hai Ruo woke from a long sleep to learn that thousands of years had passed and the interstellar age had arrived. There was also a little mermaid by his side, crying and calling for "Daddy."

So Hai Ruo pretended to be a mermaid and mingled among a group of beastfolk, helping the little mermaid find his "father."

First, he had to get his divine powers back.

But could someone tell him why his divine powers had turned into a person?!

Recently, the Empire's upper-class nobles had noticed a beautiful widower who had appeared among them out of nowhere, accompanied by a little tagalong.

This young widower did whatever he pleased, moving among the powerful without getting so much as a leaf on him. Even the Empire's notoriously fickle and heartless duke had fallen at his feet.

The noble young men and women were consumed with jealousy, secretly wishing he would soon come crashing down.

Then someone dug up the identities of his other admirers.

The entire universe went mad.

What made this guy so special? Was it just his pretty face?!

Later, a video of a mermaid tearing apart a mecha with his bare hands went viral on the interstellar net.

Netizens fell to their knees.

Is it too late to start calling him Daddy?

Not a multiple-love-interest story; the love interest is already set.

P.S. The little mermaid was found and taken in.

My completed older novel, I'm Probably a Fake Mermaid, is the prequel to Pretending to Be a Mermaid.

Coming soon:

Secretly Raising a Cute Little Dragon

Yuan Le woke up to find he had transmigrated into a primeval forest and become a newborn baby dragon abandoned by his parents.

The little dragon was skinny, with soft claws. When he opened his mouth, there was only one tiny milk tooth inside.

Unable to catch prey for ages, he was so hungry that he could only chew on grass by the roadside.

Just then, two male Lialin dragons passed by. Seeing the little dragon eating grass, they mistook him for one of their own and took him home to raise.

The dads picked the tastiest grass and held it out to the little dragon. "Hurry up and eat, little one."

The little dragon couldn't talk yet, so he had no choice but to chew the grass through his tears.

The dads were worried. Their little one ate so much every day, so why wasn't he getting any fatter?

At last, the little dragon learned to speak. His first words were, "Daddy, I'm a Rex dragon. I want meat."

His dad patiently coaxed him. "All right, all right. Eat your grass first."

Little dragon: T_T

One day, the little dragon heard his dads arguing. "I told you not to let him play with those Rex dragon hatchlings. Look, now he thinks he's a Rex dragon again."

The little dragon decided to fend for himself and hunt his own food. He stared at the fearsome prey, mustered his courage, opened his mouth, and charged.

I'll bite!

Wah, I can't bite through it.

Just then, a little Rex dragon dropped from the sky and smacked the prey dead with one claw.

The little dragon gazed at him expectantly. "Give me a piece of meat, and I'll be your boyfriend."

The little Rex dragon was ice-cold. "What's a boyfriend for?"

For the sake of meat, the little dragon shamelessly replied, "When boyfriends grow up, they can have babies for you."

The little Rex dragon looked at the adorable little dragon and thought it over. A boyfriend in exchange for a piece of meat? A bargain.

Deal.

From then on, the little Rex dragon was forced to spend his days hunting prey and his nights taking care of his boyfriend.
