Living with a Savage Merman Bigshot

Probably a goofy, sweet, satisfying romp.

To prevent monsters and demons from causing trouble and build a peaceful, friendly society, the Alliance established a school for monsters. Xia Zhi transmigrated into the body of a half-demon at Yun Kingdom's Monster University.

The half-demon had no parents, an unknown background, and couldn't transform into a demon because of his half-demon status. He was constantly criticized at school, living as a gloomy nobody without friends, until he died at the scene of a robbery.

After transmigrating, Xia Zhi's first order of business was to get into a fight, his second was to dye his hair back to its original color, and his third was to move out of the dorm.

The dorm supervisor agreed and asked him, "Who do you want to live with?"

Xia Zhi was about to say that he didn't mind when he turned and saw the handsome heartthrob of the school walking by. He declared in a booming voice, "I want to live with him!"

The merman he'd pointed out, Shui Wuhen: "…"

After the monster left, the dorm supervisor quietly warned him, "He's a merman, vicious and bloodthirsty. No one dares go near him. Why don't you pick someone else?"

Xia Zhi realized he had a serious weakness for beautiful, dazzling things. Without hesitation, he said, "I'll take him!"

*

Shui Wuhen came from the mysterious depths of the sea. He was the prince of the merman clan, lost and only recently found. He had come to the human world to study and train before returning home to inherit the throne.

Everyone feared him because of his brutal, bloody fighting style, but he didn't care.

Until one day, on his way back to the dorm, he noticed signs that someone had moved in.

Shui Wuhen sneered. Here was another hypocritical monster after his looks, wealth, and power. The newcomer would surely flee in terror within a day.

But...

On the first day they lived together, his roommate stared at him, then stayed out all night.

On the second day they lived together, his roommate stared at him, then stayed out all night.

On the third day...

Shui Wuhen could take no more. He deliberately blocked the other's path and, right in front of him, beat a monster into a state of severe disability.

That should scare him off, right?

Xia Zhi swiftly delivered a finishing blow to the injured monster, then slung an arm around Shui Wuhen's shoulders like they were old pals. Blood smeared across his cheek as he said, "Thanks, buddy. But you're too soft. When you deal with enemies, you need to strike hard, fast, and true!"

Shui Wuhen: "..."

*

The monsters at Monster Academy saw the useless half-demon teaming up with Shui Wuhen for the tournament. Thinking Shui Wuhen was no longer so brutal, they tried to force their way into the team, only for Shui Wuhen to mercilessly cripple them, regardless of gender.

When that failed, they challenged Xia Zhi and tried to sabotage him, convinced that he had bewitched the big shot with some demonic spell so he could cling to his coattails and bully them.

A half-demon scumbag thinks he can do that?

On the arena and during training, Xia Zhi twirled his blade and planted his foot on their heads. "So what if I'm a half-demon? You're not even fit to fight me! Call me Dad and I'll let you off!"

*

Xia Zhi's fame soared, and he finally became a big shot in his own right. He was invited to his roommate's coronation. His roommate looked so breathtakingly handsome at the ceremony that Xia Zhi couldn't stop showing him off to everyone he met. "See him? That's my roommate. We've been through life and death together. He's so good-looking."

The hall suddenly fell silent. He heard his roommate's calm voice from in front of him.

Shui Wuhen went down on one knee and smiled at him. "Since you think I'm good-looking, and we've been through life and death together, may I be so fortunate as to become your husband?"

Xia Zhi: "???"

#I thought you were my buddy, but you thought I was your wife? #

#That's outrageous! #

Xia Zhi is a half-demon phoenix, reborn from the ashes and returned as a king. The original host was Xia Zhi himself.

The love interest is a merman, brutal and aloof, and a lovable guy who falls for the protagonist on his own.

Coming soon: "I'm a White Lotus, and I Fake It Because Every Time I Get a Reward of One Hundred Million"

Screenshot saved.

Apocalypse big shot Shen Yu woke up after a nap to find himself transmigrated into the interstellar era and bound to a villainous male supporting character System.

The System told him: This is the world of a sweet romance and face-slapping novel about a real and fake young master. In one hour, the Shen family will take you in. You'll become the villainous male supporting character who brings the fake young master, the Second Prince, and all the big shots closer together. If you agree, you'll get one hundred million each time.

Shen Yu: "Deal."

*

After Shen Yu was brought back to the Shen family, the fake young master greeted him warmly as his big brother, then promptly injured himself and played the victim in front of their parents and the Second Prince. "I hurt myself by accident. It had nothing to do with Big Brother. He didn't mean to do it."

Shen Yu got into character in an instant. With tears in his eyes, he took the fake young master's hand and secretly squeezed it hard. "I'm sorry. It's all my fault for not realizing that my little brother is under so much pressure as the beloved heartthrob of the interstellar world. I should have stopped you the moment you picked up a knife to kill that mouse."

The fake young master, soundly scolded by their parents: "???"

As the fake young master wept and the Second Prince glared at him, Shen Yu happily counted his money.

One hundred million every time? Making money is way too easy!

*

The Interstellar Net exposed the fact that the Shen family's beloved omega heartthrob was a fake young master who had been switched at birth, while the real young master came from a garbage planet. The whole internet looked down on him.

"The Shen family dares to accept trash from a garbage planet? What an insult to the capital planet."

"Even if Shen Xingyue is a fake young master, he's still the moon in the sky. Shen Yu isn't worthy. Get lost!"

"Waaah, can Shen Yu just leave already? The ship I love, the heartthrob and the Second Prince, absolutely cannot be broken up. I support freedom of marriage and oppose arranged marriages decided at birth!"

After reading the comments, Shen Yu put on a pure, delicate look and recorded a video response. His eyes were red at the corners, his lips full and rosy, and his beauty was breathtaking. "I'm sorry. I've been alone and helpless since I was a child, and I've always wanted a family. I was too greedy, and that's how everything ended up like this. I won't steal Young Master Shen's fiancé, and I won't take his parents away from him. I... I'll leave tonight."

As soon as the video came out, the internet's mood made a complete turnaround. "Waaah, beautiful boy, don't cry! Did he do anything wrong? No! He should have been enjoying wealth and being adored by everyone, but instead he was forced to suffer on a garbage planet all these years. He's already had such a hard life!"

"The flowers and applause should all belong to him. Shen Xingyue should be the one living on a garbage planet!"

Shen Yu wiped the eyedrops from the corner of his eye and asked the expressionless underling he'd picked up, "Did I do a decent job acting?"

The Dark Star Emperor, hiding behind a secret identity: "...Yeah, not bad."

Shen Yu beckoned to him. "Come on. I'm in a good mood today, so I'll take you hunting astral beasts to make some money."

*

Shen Yu's popularity continued to rise, while the relationship between the fake young master and the Second Prince grew ever stronger. They carefully set a trap to expose Shen Yu's true nature.

On the day of the livestream, countless people watched, uncertain whether Shen Yu would reveal his true colors. Instead, they got an unexpected bombshell.

#Shocking! Shen Yu is the legendary and mysterious God of War! #

And that wasn't all. The Emperor of the Dark Star System next door joined the fray. That day, he tagged Shen Yu and posted a pile of evidence showing how the fake young master had plotted against him, then confessed his love.

The Dark Star Emperor: "Shen Yu, you saved my life."

The Dark Star Emperor: "My ninety-ninth proposal: Shen Yu, will you marry me?"

The entire interstellar world: "..."

The entire interstellar world went mad!

Theme: Even at the lowest point in life, keep moving forward bravely.
