What Should I Raise?

A love-dazed carp spirit x a possessive, unhinged Daoist (raising fish)

A cute, gentle peach blossom spirit x a reserved, scheming, taciturn emperor (growing flowers)

One-on-one romance

P.S.:

1. This is a series of independent stories, and each couple is different. The stories are connected, but each can also be read on its own.

Raising Fish:

A beautiful mermaid tail, memories overlapping with reality. Ran Ziju watches, utterly entranced.

Mu Chun wakes up soaking in a pond, unable to remember anything about her past. The only living creature before her is this one person.

But she sees him every day. He feeds her and tends to her wounds. Gradually, Mu Chun realizes something. Has she been kept here like a pet? Is Ran Ziju raising a fish?

"Who are you?" Mu Chun pokes half her head above the water and watches Ran Ziju warily.

Ran Ziju lowers his eyes, resentment and indignation in his heart. "You don't remember?"

Silence is his only answer.

As an ambitious little demon, how could she be content to live under someone else's thumb? Of course, unless... meals and lodging are included.

The world is bland and flavorless. Only this little corner of your pond brings me joy.

Theme: Every effect has a cause.
