The Transmigrated Merman O Is Carrying My Baby

(I) Lin Xu is an architectural designer. She knows how to draw blueprints, but not how to care for a mermaid. She doesn't know how to comfort her. All she can do is awkwardly buy her shoes, silently feed her noodles, and hold her hand tightly when she's trembling in pain. Later, the cold, hard buildings disappear from Lin Xu's drawing board, replaced by nothing but the sea. Layer upon layer of blue spreads across the page, gentle as if it could swallow up the past. No marking. No taming. No absolute domination imposed by an unequal relationship. Lin Xu gently places the key to unlocking her shackles in the little mermaid's palm and murmurs softly, “You belong to the sea, and you belong to yourself.” From an “abandoned collectible” to an ecologist speaking confidently at a hearing. From a “controlled puppet” to a self-assured, independent studio director. Two parallel lines that should never have crossed came together at their most broken, piecing together a perfect circle. (II) The bravest thing Shen Qinglan ever did was not bite an Alpha's neck in an ABO world. It was swim from the depths of the sea to land, drag her scarred tail behind her, and crawl into Lin Xu's arms. A tiny life took root inside her. It was both a sin and a chance at life. Shen Qinglan was afraid Lin Xu would treat her like an Alpha did, as a vessel for laying eggs. She was afraid Lin Xu would find her a burden, like everyone else. Until one late night, as wave after wave drowned out all the noise, Lin Xu kissed the damp corner of the little mermaid's eye, her own eyes red. “Shen Qinglan, this child will have two mothers. If anyone dares bully them, we'll bite them to death!” (III) “Ah Xu, do mermaids have to return to the sea?” “Not necessarily.” Lin Xu gently held Shen Qinglan close, resting her chin against the other's forehead. “But I'll always swim with you, wherever you want to go.” #The shore I build for you is sturdier than the sea# 【Reading Guide】 1. Top POV, one-on-one, happy ending. 2. Mermaid bottom, unconventional ABO, both leads are sexually and emotionally pure. 3. The top is cold and hard early on, then becomes devoted; the bottom starts out meek and ends up prickly. 4. Lots of personal worldbuilding, very surreal. Please, please don't overthink it. 5. Feel free to come or go as you please, and no need to tell me. Otherwise, I, I, I really will get very angry. Theme: Shine brightly in the world you love.
