[Seeking Bookmarks for My Next Novel of the Same Type, Don't Bully Me] The blurb is at the very bottom. Yun Xi unexpectedly transmigrated into a mermaid, then was given to a powerful big shot who seemed to hold a high position. He was convinced that everyone on this planet meant merfolk harm, so he stayed on guard against everything around him. So... When the big shot brought him food, he knocked it over with his tail. "He's definitely trying to fatten me up so he can eat me!" When the big shot bought him toys, he didn't even glance at them. "He's trying to numb my senses and make me stupid!" When the big shot built him a new pool, he refused to leave the old one. Then the big shot tossed him into the new pool, and he stared wide-eyed. "He really is trying to hurt me!" Then, one time, the big shot reached out to him. Yun Xi finally lost his temper and bit him. Before he could escape into the water, the big shot caught him by the tail.

He was only a little mermaid. - The whole empire knew that General Aifan, who disliked keeping pets, had taken in an unpopular mermaid. They said that although the mermaid was incredibly beautiful, he had a bad temper and often bared his teeth at General Aifan. During a meeting livestream, a mermaid with silver hair and violet eyes suddenly appeared in General Aifan's frame, gazing at the camera with watery eyes. As everyone began to speculate, the mermaid stammered, "I like... Master." The livestream chat was instantly overwhelmed. "If you don't want that mermaid, give him to me!!" "This is my first time seeing a mermaid. Is this what you call a bad temper?" "I want the trouble of keeping a mermaid too TT" Yun Xi, who had only just started learning the interstellar language: "? Doesn't that mean 'hello'?" A certain big shot silently looked away. A muddleheaded, spoiled mermaid bottom x a jealous, aloof general top = Coming Soon: Don't Bully Me [From Ancient Times to the Present] Yu Tingyu, the legitimate youngest son of a duke's household, grew up surrounded by every luxury and showered with love. One day, he accidentally fell off his horse and transmigrated into a book set several thousand years in the future. He had become a cannon-fodder character who wouldn't even survive halfway through the book. In the story, the cannon fodder went to great lengths to marry the male lead's older brother, all to bully the male lead's love interest, whom he couldn't stand. After the wedding, the cannon fodder tried to seduce and curry favor with the male lead's older brother while using every vicious trick he could think of against the male lead's love interest. The male lead's older brother was the mastermind behind everything, watching it all unfold with cold indifference. The cannon fodder's eventual fate was so horrific that even Yu Tingyu couldn't bear to look. When Yu Tingyu transmigrated, it was the night of the wedding. Without permission, the cannon fodder had slipped into the master bedroom and was waiting under the covers for the male lead's older brother to come in. Yu Tingyu had just poked his head out from under the covers when he met the gaze of the stern-looking man in the doorway. Yu Tingyu: qwq Waaah, he's so scary. He wanted a divorce! * Qi Zhaoyuan had only been back in the country for a few days when his elders arranged a marriage for him. He hated people who schemed behind others' backs, and felt nothing but disgust for the wife he had never met. After the wedding, Qi Zhaoyuan discovered that his little wife was not only timid, but a little dim-witted too. A servant brought home milk tea. His little wife carried it over to him, blinking as he asked how he was supposed to drink it. Qi Zhaoyuan expressionlessly helped him insert a straw. "Put your lips around it." Yu Tingyu nodded as if he understood, parted his pale pink lips, and obediently wrapped them around the straw. Qi Zhaoyuan pressed his thin lips together, his Adam's apple bobbing almost imperceptibly. Hmph. A clumsy attempt at seduction. * At first, Yu Tingyu heard people say that his marriage agreement with Qi Zhaoyuan would last only a year. He spent the year anxiously keeping his head down, then tried to drop hints to Qi Zhaoyuan about getting a divorce. Qi Zhaoyuan coolly took out the English version of their contract and pointed to a line. "Our marriage agreement is permanent. Whoever asks for a divorce will be considered in breach of contract." Yu Tingyu took it and stared at it, but couldn't make sense of it. He immediately puffed up in anger. How could he bully him for not understanding bird talk! * When people heard that the neglected young master of the Yu family had married the head of the Qi family, they all thought Yu Tingyu had thrown himself into a pit of fire. No one knew what would become of him. Even the Yu family, worried about being dragged into trouble, completely disowned him. But at a certain banquet, everyone saw the fearsome head of the Qi family holding Yu Tingyu's hand and never letting him out of his sight. When the Yu family tried to approach them, the man didn't spare them so much as a glance. He simply bowed his head and focused on feeding the young man beside him dessert, wiping the crumbs from the corner of his lips with his thumb. Everyone was stunned. Wasn't he supposed to be in a pit of fire?? A spoiled, sweet-natured bottom who's a little illiterate x an older, scheming top with overwhelming possessiveness Theme: You have to work hard to prove yourself before others will recognize your worth.
