The new tenant was never much of a talker. He always looked half-asleep and gloomy, and his gaze was especially chilly whenever it landed on her. One night, he knocked on her bedroom door, looking cool and miserable. “Excuse me, are you baking little cakes?”

A little mermaid washed up on the shore, her eyes clear and bright. Struggling to use human speech, she asked, “Can I kiss you?”

Meanwhile, deep beneath the sea, where she knew nothing of him, the young man gently adjusted his crown and declared with proud confidence, “I’ve fallen in love with a human girl. I’m going to bring her back.”

A quick mention of my upcoming story next door:

"Becoming the Only Ordinary Human in a Vampire World"

Blurb:

You are a human girl adopted by the head of the vampire clan. You are breathtakingly beautiful, with a soul that seems soft and harmless. You are a princess, an angel, a beloved white moonlight.

You live with your adoptive mother and your young uncle, who was also abandoned by his clan. Then one day, your mother dies, and your uncle takes you back to that mysterious family.

From then on, you are surrounded by many people. Bored, you only need to pick one of them to pass the time.

Choose from the following options:

Your childhood friend, a reserved older uncle who never refuses you

Boy A, who understands your every thought and willingly becomes your accomplice

Boy B, an arrogant young master whom you treat like a dog

A gloomy, damp, lowly servant who only wants to crawl to your side

Your fiancé, who insists that your engagement makes him your one and only rightful husband

tips: This is not a single-choice question.
