Can Merfolk Be Steamed?

Female lead's perspective:

Transmigrate, and on the very first day, I'm supposed to become a master?!

No worries, I've got a special trick for choosing a disciple!

Oh! Why is there such an adorable little thing here?

"This one!"

The sect leader hesitates. "About this one... Junior Sister, are you sure? You won't regret it?"

"I'm sure, I'm sure! I won't regret it, I won't regret it!"

A lazy master raises her little merfolk disciple, never expecting the kid to end up carrying her to success!

Male lead's perspective:

Merfolk are extraordinarily beautiful. They have no gender during childhood, and only after meeting the person they love and reaching the period of differentiation do they choose their own gender.

Before he met her,

he wandered the ocean floor in a daze, not understanding loneliness. He was only a little sad now and then.

After he met her,

he knew his life had finally begun in earnest.

Combined synopsis:

A certain master is obsessed with raising her little disciple, feeling his tail every day, and living out a real-life version of "Love Nikki." "What the heck? How did this gorgeous girl turn into a man?!"

Hua Wuming: "My world was barren: no flowers, no grass, no light. Then you came, and suddenly it had everything."

Hua Hua: "So I'm the one doing the land reclamation?"

Little disciple: "Master, don't tease me."

A lazy, protective female lead obsessed with raising her little disciple VS a gloomy, obsessive, obedient little merman. An unconventional cultivation story with lots of original worldbuilding. Please don't nitpick the details. If you do, you're right.

Currently updating: My Straight or Gay Side Is Yours to Decide

A sword cultivator heroine with tons of boyfriend appeal VS a "delicate" male lead disguised as a woman

Shi Yue is a straight woman whom countless men have tried to woo, gently, boldly, and indirectly, without ever stirring her heart. Just as everyone thinks she'll be alone forever, she transmigrates into a story about a domineering hero and gets charmed by a "saintess."

Liu Yushi is a demon clan saintess disguised as a woman. Using her feminine disguise to act delicate, she openly, gently, and indirectly flirts with that seemingly cold, righteous sword immortal. After losing her own heart, she discovers that her wife has fallen for her!

When Shi Yue realizes she's fallen in love: "It's over. I've fallen for a woman."

Then Shi Yue thinks it over: "If you love someone, you shouldn't care about their gender."

So, looking at the delicate "saintess" before her, who seems unable to take care of herself, she slips right into the role of "husband," caring for and flirting back with her.

After the two pledge their love, someone's secret identity is exposed.

Liu Yushi (reaching out dramatically): "Honey, just let me explain!"

--★--

Short scene before the secret identity is revealed:

A winter morning,

Liu Yushi burrows under the covers, unwilling to get up, and pitifully claims that his stomach hurts.

Shi Yue looks at him with concern. "I understand."

Liu Yushi stares in confusion at the brown sugar water and the strange strips of cloth before him. "No, you don't."

One-on-one, both leads are each other's first and only, a sweet little romance

1. The male lead lets himself go in the beginning, then goes through a long, painful chase to win his wife back.

2. He bent his wife to his will, so even if he cries, he'll have to win her back.

3. The male lead really is delicate, and he really can fight, too.

Theme: If you want something, go make it happen. Relying on yourself is better than praying to the gods!
