I Became the Male Lead's Young Aunt-in-Law in a Period Novel

A little mermaid fell asleep and inexplicably transmigrated to the Flower Kingdom of the 1970s, becoming Li Mingzhu, the beloved youngest daughter of the Li family in a small fishing village on an island.

The moment she arrived, she was overcome by the suffocating feeling of not being able to breathe. Suddenly, something soft pressed against her lips, and oxygen kept being breathed into her mouth. Acting on instinct to survive, the little mermaid urgently bit down on her lifeline.

When the little mermaid came to, she looked at the handsome human male before her and remembered a legend told by her mermaid ancestors. She trembled with fear. She didn't want to turn into foam!

After finishing training, Cheng Yanli happened to rescue someone on the beach. Then the girl wouldn't leave him alone.

She had skin as white as snow and stunning looks, with a naturally alluring charm. Her eyes wide and pleading, she asked him, "Will you love me?"

As a member of the Cheng family, Cheng Yanli had seen far too many women throw themselves at him since he was a boy. He had always rejected them coldly, without giving them the slightest consideration.

But when faced with the girl's sparkling eyes, he awkwardly looked away and said stiffly:

"Comrade, please show some restraint!"

But the second time they met, Cheng fell for her. The little mermaid was stunned. She...she hadn't even used her mermaid talents yet!

It wasn't until Cheng Yanli brought three children home that the little mermaid realized she seemed to have entered a story her sea-turtle grandma had told her.

The oldest child, standing in front of her with a solitary look in his eyes, was the male lead. He'd had a miserable childhood and grown up too soon. He was calculating and vengeful, twisted inside, and would eventually kill his enemies with his own hands.

The unruly little brat in the middle, with wary eyes, was the book's future villain. He would grow up to wreak havoc and do as he pleased.

The baby in the man's arms was withdrawn and sensitive from a young age, but was a genius with an exceptionally high IQ. However, the child would go missing at age five and never be found.

The little mermaid was horrified. After taking a breath of oxygen and considering it for three seconds, she asked the man, "Then will you love me forever?"

The man swore on his life.

"All right, I agree."

The little mermaid thought, It's just three human children to raise. I can do it!

But the very next moment, she ran to the beach. Crystal-clear tears dripped into the seawater as she cried out for her Daddy Sea God, just like when she was little and ran home to ask him for help after losing a fight.

So the waves brought her a guide to raising human children, a comprehensive seafood cookbook, a manual on aquaculture, and more...

Later, the three children became the examples parents used when lecturing their own troublesome kids. The sweet, delicate wife gave birth to a daughter just as sweet and delicate as herself, and the four men doted on the two of them endlessly.

The little mermaid follows the army to an island and raises children. A sweet, cozy, healing everyday life.

Leading the small fishing village to prosperity, developing the island, and protecting the ocean.
