After Marrying the Mermaid Boss

Mermaids and humans live together under the same social system.

Si Yue isn't a mermaid. He's just a rich family's young master who doesn't take his responsibilities seriously.

Mermaids are exceptionally intelligent and naturally suspicious, and they always keep their distance from humans. Si Yue never imagined he would have anything to do with one.

That is, until his father told him the family needed him to enter a marriage alliance, with a mermaid.

His prospective partner had personal assets worth hundreds of billions.

He was exactly Si Yue's type.

He also had a good personality. All in all, a fine fish.

So Si Yue crammed on mermaid facts.

1. The paler a mermaid's tail, the rarer it is.

2. When a mermaid is around someone they like, scales appear behind their ears.

3. Humans can potentially transform into mermaids.

4. Mermaids' breeding season usually falls between spring and summer.

5. …

Si Yue was about to keep reading when the man who had appeared behind him took the book from his hands. In a calm voice, the man said, “My breeding season isn't in spring or summer. Just like you humans, I can do it anytime.”

Si Yue: “!”

Mermaids afflicted by an ancient curse turn into mindless beasts at certain times.

One night, Si Yue saw marine creatures torn to pieces on the dining table, so badly mutilated that he couldn't tell what species they had once been.

Bai Jian sat at the table, using both his claws and his tail to pin Si Yue down.

The immortal mermaid's voice was eerie and hollow. “My beloved should enjoy this lavish feast with me.”

Si Yue: “Help…”

1. I've tweaked the blurb, but the character settings are unchanged. There are quite a few personal inventions, since I've never caught a mermaid. I'm making all this up as seriously as I can.

2. No children.

3. This is a marriage-first, love-later story with a happy ending. The one on the receiving end will eventually become a mermaid.

4. The author hasn't seen much of the world. If anything bothers you, tell me and I'll make a list.

Everyone at school knows Ge Ziyan and Kuang Fang are best friends.

Ge Ziyan has always been frail, with a weakness he's had since birth. Kuang Fang has treated him like a porcelain doll and looked after him since they were children.

That is, until someone confessed to Ge Ziyan. Instead of passing him a love letter, the guy actually stole a kiss with lightning speed.

Kuang Fang laughed teasingly. “He kissed you?”

Ge Ziyan: “You're weird. So what if he kissed me? We're both guys.”

Kuang Fang raised an eyebrow. “Then can I kiss you too?”

Ge Ziyan: “What's gotten into you?”

Before long, Ge Ziyan realized Kuang Fang was acting increasingly strange.

Sometimes he was sharp-tongued, often he spaced out, he interfered in Ge Ziyan's social life, and his gaze had turned clingy and gooey.

And! He only acted this way toward Ge Ziyan. Their friends all thought Brother Fang was totally fine. He hadn't even lost a single bit of his abs.

On Ge Ziyan's eighteenth birthday, Kuang Fang got drunk.

As Ge Ziyan walked him home, Kuang Fang got rowdy halfway there, shoved Ge Ziyan into the flowerbed in the courtyard, and stared straight at him. “You're my best brother. How about you become my wife?”

Ge Ziyan: “…”
