The Olympic Artistic Swimming Champion Is a Mermaid

[Main story complete] Lan Yixing is a blue-tailed merperson. According to the rules of the merfolk, once they reach adulthood, they can turn their fish tails into legs and earn the chance to go ashore for experience. On his first visit to human society, Lan Yixing had no money and no job. Then he spotted an ad recruiting performers: a monthly salary of 2,000, with meals and accommodation included. Lan Yixing's eyes lit up. "You're the one!" Other companies give their performers a debut song and stage on debut day. Lan Yixing's company had no money, so his first appearance had to be at an all-star sports meet. The production team looked down on newcomers and wouldn't even let him choose his event. They simply threw Lan Yixing into an event nobody else had picked. That event was called... artistic swimming. Artistic swimming, also known as water ballet, takes years of training. Without it, a performance looks like someone drowning, with not a trace of grace. It was practically guaranteed to end in disaster. On the day of the competition, Lan Yixing wore a performance outfit. His youthful body was slender and firm, his perfect waistline on full display, making the entire audience gasp and howl. When he leapt into the pool, the white gauze on his outfit drifted through the water with his movements, like a mermaid's tail, graceful and vivid. The audience went wild, letting out every kind of wolf whistle. Audience: What kind of enchantress is this? He's going to steal our souls! After the competition, everyone was amazed by Lan Yixing's performance and rushed to interview him about how he'd trained. Lan Yixing looked completely baffled. "Wait, are you supposed to train for this?" Reporter: ...Could you be any more smug about your natural talent? Audience: You're beautiful, so everything you say must be right! * To promote sports, the Olympic Committee decided to add a men's solo artistic swimming event, a sport that had previously been open only to women. After retiring, swimming's top star Bai Junwen officially became the national team's coach and began scouting for talent. Just as everyone was at a loss, a video of Lan Yixing doing artistic swimming went viral online, and it soon reached the coaching staff. Bai Junwen slapped the table and declared, "He's the one." One night, as Bai Junwen passed the pool, he vaguely heard splashing from inside. He thought one of the athletes was practicing in secret. But when he went to look, he found a blue mermaid soaking his tail! Its tail fin swayed naturally with the current, scales glittering in the water. Under the distant lights, it looked like a scene from a fairy tale. Their eyes met. With nowhere to run, Lan Yixing hesitated, then asked, "Want to join me?" Bai Junwen paused, then answered, "Sure." From domestic competitions to world championships and then the Olympics, Lan Yixing became an unbeatable legend in artistic swimming.

A parade of actors earning sky-high salaries didn't memorize their lines, wore inappropriate costumes and makeup, or simply failed to show up.
