After Becoming Neighbors with Cursed Spirits, I Became the Strongest Landlord

Tian Heyuan was an ordinary corporate drone. His goal in life: make money and buy a home. After transmigrating, he inherited two buildings outright and became a landlord. They were in a fantastic location, with convenient transport, plenty of amenities, and a pleasant environment. All he had to do was collect rent, and he could enjoy the good life everyone envied. Before he could even celebrate, he discovered that his predecessor had just played a game of truth or dare at Kayako’s house. Tian Heyuan: “…” What a lunatic. He thought that was bad enough, but when he went out, he ran into a special-grade cursed spirit. And that cursed spirit was attacked by Kayako’s cat, which was clinging to him. Tian Heyuan: “…” Guys, flood the screen with 999! Don’t ask why it isn’t 666: this is so wild it’s turned the six upside down!

After transmigrating into a mermaid, the protagonist is inexperienced and can’t beat the vicious fish of the deep sea, so he struggles onto land in search of a keeper. With his award-worthy acting, he maintains the image of a beautiful, innocent, pure fish from human fantasy. Finding a keeper should be a piece of cake, right? The problem is that the keepers he finds either have peculiar tastes and die quickly, or want to give him to some big shot to curry favor. He’s heard this big shot is exceptionally talented and handsome, obscenely rich, impossible to read, and unfathomable in his methods. He’ll be hard to win over. But the big shot likes collecting nonhuman beings, and someone as pretty as him is sure to be a favorite. The big shot does like him. It’s just that he’s not as terrifying as the rumors say. Every time the protagonist is given to him, he releases him back into the wild. As he lets him go, he even tells him, “Don’t be so stupid next time. Don’t let humans catch you again.” The protagonist tries to keep up the image of a pure, speechless fish. He doesn’t like spending all his time in the sea, and he can’t beat the deep-sea fish either. So every time the big shot turns and walks away, he has no choice but to clamber ashore, grumbling, and start thinking about how to find his next keeper. In the end, the protagonist finally gets the long-term meal ticket he wants, along with the legendary “true love’s kiss.” That’s after he goes through a whole string of strange, dangerous, short-lived keepers, forms a deep bond with the big shot, and completely shatters his pure-fish persona in front of him. Theme: Don’t panic when you’re in a desperate situation. Observe carefully, investigate boldly, and draw conclusions from what you learn. There’s always a way to find a glimmer of hope.
