Reincarnated as the Violent Big Shot’s Little Mermaid

[A sister-story is coming soon: Can a Violent Little Merman Be Healing, Too? Synopsis at the very bottom~]

Jun Qingyu was following a novel. Its protagonist had risen from humble origins to the rank of marshal through sheer effort. After being injured on the battlefield, he could only be healed by a mermaid, but his injury had made him violent, so the mermaid refused to treat him.

The protagonist's family took the opportunity to steal his token and start an interstellar war. His friend kicked him while he was down, and before long, the protagonist had become everyone's target. He was the perfect example of a beautiful, strong, and tragic character.

At this point, the protagonist was supposed to rise up and launch a series of face-slapping plotlines. Instead, the author abandoned the story and left the protagonist dead.

Jun Qingyu was so dissatisfied that he even dreamed about the protagonist. Then he opened his eyes and found himself transmigrated into the novel as a mermaid.

Fu Yuanchuan had lost count of how many times he'd stood beside the mermaid pool. The newborn mermaids in it were no bigger than his palm.

Mermaids shunned his touch. Fu Yuanchuan wasn't surprised to see the group, which had been swimming near the edge, quickly scatter when he approached.

Mocking voices rang in his ears.

“How can someone like him still dare to come buy a mermaid?”

“If I were him, I'd stay home and wait to die instead of running around and scaring people.”

Fu Yuanchuan's expression was impassive. Just as he was about to leave, he heard someone cry out in surprise.

“What is that mermaid doing?!”

Fu Yuanchuan lowered his gaze. A little mermaid with a golden tail was swimming determinedly toward him, against the current of the others.

The little mermaid stopped when he reached the edge of the pool. He tilted his head up, golden eyes filled with Fu Yuanchuan's reflection.

After a moment of silence, Fu Yuanchuan crouched beside the pool and tentatively lowered his hand into the water...

The little mermaid didn't run.

The little mermaid wrapped his arms around Fu Yuanchuan's hand.

The little mermaid kissed his fingers.

It was as if a beam of light had pierced his gloomy world, guiding him back to the land of the living.

"Reading Guide" Author's Weibo: @Sanqian Occasionally Insomniac

1. Jun Qingyu wasn't an ordinary person before he transmigrated into the book. This will be explained later, no spoilers.

2. When his love interest is around, he's weak and adorable, and loves to act cute. When his love interest is away, he's cool and indifferent, and can still fight. The contrast is charming.

3. A warm, healing, redemptive, sweet romance, with no angst. A little sweet treat. The plot drives the romance. Read with or without your brain, as you like.

4. There are original author-created details. Please don't draw parallels between any [people, things, or events] in the story and reality. Don't draw parallels with reality. Don't draw parallels with reality!

5. I don't do trigger warnings. I like everything I write. There are no common trigger points in the story, and I'm not really sure about minor ones.

6. I don't accept baseless plagiarism accusations. If you have evidence, show it and let's save each other some time.

[Coming soon: Can a Violent Little Merman Be Healing, Too?]

Synopsis: Yu Huaici always thought he could read every novel as an outsider, until one book made him so angry he got chest pains.

In the book, the antagonist is the male lead's foil. He comes from a noble family among the Federation's upper ranks, has undergone rigorous training since childhood, and is even used by his own father as a test subject for drugs.

The drugs cause abnormalities in the antagonist's mental powers, yet every little mermaid in the interstellar world who can heal the mind shuns him.

The antagonist endures the agonizing pain of his mental realm collapsing at every moment. Even so, he carves out a way to survive on the battlefield through his own efforts. His family isn't happy for him. Instead, when he returns victorious, they frame him and drag him into the mire, smear his name, and use his death to set up the male lead's shining moment.

Yu Huaici wants to punch the useless male lead, who does nothing but steal the antagonist's achievements. He wants to punch the antagonist's awful family twice as hard.

The angrier he gets, the more furious he becomes. After finishing the book, Yu Huaici blacks out.

When he regains consciousness, he discovers he has transmigrated into the book as a little silver-white mermaid.

Fu Qingheng feels as though he's trapped in a loop. He repeatedly reincarnates with his memories intact, experiencing the betrayal of his best friend and the scorn of his family over and over again.

The laws of the world are invisible chains. Under their rules, he is like a puppet, mechanically completing his assigned tasks and heading toward a fate in which everyone despises him and he is doomed to die.

After once again being buried beneath the ruins, Fu Qingheng gives up trying to save himself. He lets himself sink to the bottom of the water, accepting death as it approaches in the quiet current.

The next moment, bubbles and shifting light appear before his eyes.

A silver-white little mermaid bursts through the dense foam, his round eyes shining with delight. “Wuwu!”

I found you!

In that instant, the shackles binding him disappear. His heart, still as a stagnant pool, begins to beat again.

The little mermaid has come to him from beyond the heavens.

A will repeatedly scourged by death is reborn in this moment.
