So What If I'm a Mermaid? I'll Still End Up in the Crematorium

Lu Ke had quietly loved him for three years. Then one day, the other man actually confessed first.

Lu Ke thought the goddess of luck had finally smiled on him, but on the very day they made things official, the man got drunk and called out another man's name right in front of him.

Lu Ke refused to be anyone's substitute and broke up with him.

When you're down on your luck, even a drink of cold water can go down the wrong way. He went to the beach to clear his head, but was attacked and fell into the sea.

As he hovered between life and death, Lu Ke saw a handsome merman swimming toward him.

He thought he was about to be eaten, but instead, the merman's cool lips pressed against his.

The merman took him home to recover, sometimes treating him coldly, sometimes being gentle with him.

Lu Ke pieced together the clues, figured out what was going on, and suddenly understood.

Well, well. Was he going to be a substitute all over again?

P.S. The setting is a post-apocalyptic world where humans and merfolk have temporarily reached a peaceful coexistence. This isn't a conventional substitute romance or a conventional melodrama. It's a short story, just for fun.

"Transmigrate and Find My Groom"

Pei Jing woke up one day to find himself a wealthy young master, gravely ill in bed.

The handsome young master of the Pei family certainly has plenty of romantic prospects. The only problem is that he's attracted all the wrong people: men.

There's the refined and elegant heir to a prince's estate, a handsome foreign merchant with deep-set eyes and a prominent nose, a free-spirited swordsman, and even a certain someone he can't speak of...

Bored while recovering, the young master sneaks off to Wangjiang Tower for tea one day. There, he sees a dashing young man ride up on a tall horse. When the rider reaches the building, he glances up and locks eyes with Pei Jing on the second floor. Then he quickly looks away, coldly, and doesn't spare him another glance.

Young Master Pei: Tsk, what a rude man.

His young attendant, timidly: It seems you really don't remember anything. General Xie was already engaged at the time, and you still confessed to him. That was... pretty rude too.

Pei Jing: !!!???

Good grief, who does he even like?

Not long after transmigrating, Pei Jing realizes that what happened to this body wasn't an accident. It was murder.

He's handsome, carefree, and cheerful, and is treated well wherever he goes. Countless men and women are in love with him.

His family is wealthy and harmonious, his brothers are close, and his little sister is adorable.

But beneath all that splendor lies a web of mysteries, and the shadow of death has never left him.

For his own sake, and for the original owner's, Pei Jing must uncover the truth.

In the end, he finds the truth, and a groom too.

"I won't compete with you anymore. Pursue whoever you want."

Jing Yunxing looks at him, his throat tightening, his gaze smoldering. "All right. Then I'll pursue you."
