The Mermaid's Love Triangle

Complete. Please add my upcoming novels to your reading list: Black Lotus Beauty Forced to Reform and They All Pursue Me Madly.

Song Chixue had little talent and an ordinary appearance. Bullied from childhood, he was an inconspicuous outer disciple, even publicly abandoned by his fiance.

What no one expected was that he was actually a rare merfolk, whose astonishing beauty and talent would only awaken when he turned eighteen.

*

After his beauty and talent awakened, Song Chixue was taken as the sect leader's direct disciple. Those who had once seemed beyond his reach became the people closest to him.

A once-in-a-century genius was his senior brother, a cool and aloof beauty was his junior uncle, and a heaven-blessed prodigy was his fiance.

Gradually, Song Chixue began to feel afraid.

He had only asked his senior brother for advice on cultivation, but was told to transform into a merfolk and expose his tail, then soak in a pool built especially for him. His senior brother traded kisses for cultivation manuals and would not let him go until he was completely exhausted.

After barely escaping his clutches, Song Chixue fled in a panic and crashed into his junior uncle's arms.

His junior uncle gently comforted Song Chixue, whose eyes glistened with tears and whose snowy-white nape was covered in red marks. But his gaze grew dark.

The little merfolk before him was like a sweet-smelling pastry. All he had to do was reach out, and he could, at any time...

Devour him whole.

*

Several men surrounded Song Chixue and demanded that he choose.

When Song Chixue finally realized what was happening and tried to resist, his eyes red with tears, he discovered that his belly was round and swollen. At some point, he had laid a tiny egg!

Please add my upcoming novel Black Lotus Beauty Forced to Reform to your reading list.

Xie Zhiqing was the illegitimate child of a cultivation family. Hated and bullied from a young age, he was even abandoned in the snow.

They all shared the Xie bloodline, so why did everyone else get to look down on him and call him base?

So he deliberately befriended Lu Jingce, an orphan famed for his extraordinary talent. He spoke gently to him and cared for him closely, all so that one day he could drain Lu Jingce's cultivation and wash away his humiliation before the Xie family.

But Xie Zhiqing never expected that Lu Jingce would survive after he drained his cultivation and pushed him off a cliff. Worse, Lu Jingce's cultivation had soared, and he could now control Xie Zhiqing with ease.

*

He staggered backward, trembling. The man before him was cool and composed, yet in the blink of an eye he had pulled Xie Zhiqing into his arms and kissed his cheek in front of the whole world. Then he whispered in his ear:

"Master, doing bad things... means you have to be punished."

That night, Xie Zhiqing was forcibly taken back to Cangxue Mountain. Delicate, beautiful ornaments now adorned his slender, pale wrists and ankles.

*

Xie Zhiqing was vicious and cunning, while his disciple Lu Jingce was upright and honorable. No one could understand how two such completely different people could become cultivation partners.

Still, whenever Xie Zhiqing was caught doing something bad and dragged back, he would reappear with red eyes and a swollen belly, reluctantly leaning against Lu Jingce.

*

Lu Jingce was an unwanted orphan.

He was hungry and cold, lying fallen in the snow as darkness closed in around him. Then a pair of hands pulled him up, like the warmest winter sunshine falling over him.

Even knowing that this ray of light was using him, he was willing.

After all, in that endless, long night, that person had also given him...

A moment of light.

Reader's guide:

1. Black lotus: vicious, selfish, beautiful bottom (Xie Zhiqing) and upright, proper, pitiful top (Lu Jingce).

2. The bottom is selfish and vicious in his quest for revenge. The top later "teaches him a lesson," but the bottom is not redeemed.

3. The top and bottom have only each other. The bottom is somewhat of a heartthrob.

Theme: The world may kiss me with pain, but I will answer it with a song.
