A Timid Alpha's Guide to Staying Alive

The story is complete! Please enjoy!

My column has a new series available for preorder: "The Mermaid Wife Who Keeps Jumping into the Sea," about a little mermaid who jumps into the sea whenever she gets upset × a rich, gorgeous, and fish-loving rising star

At first, she only wants to stay alive. This cowardly, scummy Alpha really is scum.

ABO rules are entirely my own.

Tang Yi's life was like a bitter gall hidden beneath a sugar coating.

Aside from having a little money at home, she had nothing.

No one cared about her, no one kept her company, and no one loved her.

After a car accident, Tang Yi transmigrates into a book.

She becomes the wealthy, promiscuous, fickle, irresponsible Alpha in the story. In the end, she has so many fish on the line that her affairs are exposed. Tao Siyi flies into a rage and beats her viciously. Not only is Tang Yi's reputation ruined, but food poisoning also causes her gland to rupture, and she nearly dies.

──

When Tang Yi sees Tao Siyi again, the story has already progressed to the eve of her affairs being exposed. To stay alive, and more importantly, to find a way back,

Tang Yi abandons her usual scummy ways and becomes the devoted girlfriend by Tao Siyi's side.

When Fish No. 1 calls, she hangs up without even looking.

When she runs into Fish No. 2 at the mall, Tang Yi pretends she has the wrong person.

When Fish No. 3 comes to the office claiming to be Tang Yi's lover,

Fish No. 4 ...

Tang Yi looks at Tao Siyi, who is smiling at her, and is so guilty she doesn't dare say a word.

──

Just as Tao Siyi, a novice painter, begins to make a name for herself at a prestigious exhibition, she notices signs that her partner is cheating.

But Tang Yi's sudden change leaves her completely baffled.

When a phone call comes during a movie at home, Tang Yi no longer avoids answering in front of her. Instead, she hangs up right away and keeps watching the movie with her.

When they're shopping at the mall and someone rushes over to cling to her arm, Tang Yi immediately pushes them away and says they've mistaken her for someone else.

Even when a scantily dressed woman comes to the house shouting Tang Yi's name, Tang Yi calls security without even looking up.

Until Tao Siyi hears that someone went to the office claiming to be Tang Yi's lover and demanding that Tang Yi arrange a job for her...

Tang Yi lets the woman in front of her push her onto the bed. Warm breath brushes her ear. "Scummy Alpha, you'd better explain yourself..."

A slender finger presses against Tang Yi's forehead, and she topples back onto the pillow.

"The Mermaid Wife Who Keeps Jumping into the Sea"

During a variety show filmed at sea, Song Yun accidentally falls overboard.

By the time she's found, she's already on the shore.

Song Yun knows that the little mermaid has saved her again.

Song Yun is a D-list celebrity, nicknamed the Ice-Cold Goddess. She has a face so beautiful no one can ignore it.

Since debuting, she hasn't acted in any decent dramas, and the public doesn't like her either. Haters are everywhere.

To make a rising star of the same generation stand out, Song Yun is told to take part in a variety show at sea.

The entire show takes place on a yacht and a remote island.

She never expected to fall into the water, only to be rescued by that little mermaid once again.

Tang Xingxing is a mermaid princess from beneath the sea, with an entire pearl palace of her own.

When she has nothing to do, she likes to sunbathe on the sea and rescue people.

One day, after bringing someone safely to shore, she discovers that her fish tail has turned into human legs.

In her panic, she jumps straight back into the sea.

Later, she realizes that whenever she comes ashore, she grows legs.

Song Yun searches for Tang Xingxing for many years. This time, she finally sees her again, but before she can say a word, Tang Xingxing jumps into the sea once more.

Later, Song Yun spots her on shore and learns that her little mermaid has legs now.

Song Yun takes her to eat the best seafood, buys her the most expensive clothes, and drives one luxury car after another.

She stops taking acting roles and quits variety shows. The internet is full of people criticizing her.

Then one day, the two of them are photographed going in and out of a hotel.

The internet is swept up in an "Ice-Cold Face" craze, pushing Song Yun to the peak of notoriety.

Song Yun doesn't panic. Instead, she buys a luxurious seaside mansion and grandly gives it to Tang Xingxing.

Later, everyone discovers that the things bought at luxury stores were all paid for with Song Yun's card, and Tang Xingxing is the one wearing them. The sports cars were all gifts from Song Yun to Tang Xingxing.

Tang Xingxing has never understood why Song Yun treats her so well. Is it only because she saved her once?

Until one day, Tang Xingxing finds a painting hidden on Song Yun's bookshelf.

It depicts the back of a mermaid lying on a reef.

So she'd been a substitute all along.

Tang Xingxing jumps into the sea.

Song Yun jumps in after her.

In the end, Tang Xingxing has to fish her out once again.

"Silly wife, don't you think that mermaid looks just like you?"

Later, the Ice-Cold Goddess's perfect image comes crashing down.

Every day, she calls her wife "darling" and smiles more happily than anyone.

Her wife does have a bit of a habit of jumping into the sea, though. Whenever she gets upset, she jumps down from the top of the mansion.

"Wife, don't jump into the sea. I don't want to become a competitive diver."
