This Pet Owner's Shelf Life Is a Little Too Long

According to legends of the deep sea, mermaids can regain their powers and grow legs in the human world only after receiving the “kiss of true love.”

Bai Yu transmigrated into a mermaid. He wasn’t very good at his job and couldn’t beat the ferocious deep-sea fish, so he tried to find a human owner on shore.

He put on an award-winning performance, maintaining the fish persona humans imagined. The problem was that the owners he found either had unusual tastes and died quickly, or had bad intentions toward him.

Then he heard about a powerful big shot.

This wealthy man was hard to read and known to be impossible to please. But he had a particular fondness for nonhumans, so surely he’d like a beautiful, wild, large ornamental fish like Bai Yu.

As it turned out, Ji Peilin really did like him.

Unlike his reputation, Ji Peilin released Bai Yu back into the water several times, telling him, “Don’t be so foolish next time. The human world isn’t right for you.”

Bai Yu pretended he couldn’t speak, swam back into the sea, then came back cursing after getting beaten up by the deep-sea fish.

In the end, Bai Yu found himself a long-term meal ticket, and, just like in a fairy tale, the mermaid received a kiss of true love from his “prince.”

Theme: True love comes from being honest with one another.
