The Playing-Dead Merman Doesn't Want His Husband to Save Him

[Merfolk Coming Ashore and Dying Syndrome]

Symptoms: Dehydration, brain damage, delicate skin, paralysis, death by pain

Treatment 1: Cherish your life and stay away from the shore. (All merfolk know this.)

Treatment 2: A true-love kiss from a pureblood human. (Very few merfolk know this.)

The aloof caretaker Yue Jingluo unexpectedly transmigrated into the body of a merfolk prince. He thought he could live a life of luxury as a lazy fish on the seafloor until he died, but after fleeing an arranged marriage, he had no choice but to run away from home. In the end, a pearl-diving young man forcibly "rescued the beauty" and brought him ashore, leaving him paralyzed.

To escape back to the sea and save his life, he started making up a persona and attempting ridiculous acts of self-rescue. But then, people took pity on him when he tried to die, he was forced into marriage when he tried to repay a debt, and his spoiled antics only made him more adored. So he gave up resisting and began living happily with his husband, earning money and raising children.

[Their Meeting]

With the Sea God Festival approaching, Yu Fulin fell in love at first sight with the beautiful person he had fished out of the water.

The beauty, fresh as a lotus emerging from water, said, "Please, put me back in the sea."

[Trying to Die]

The beauty said despairingly, "What use is a name to someone about to die?"

"All my savings sank to the bottom of the sea. I don't have money to get married, and all I want now is to return to the sea and rest beside my family."

Yu Fulin cried out in alarm, "Don't die. I'll marry you."

[Drunk]

Yu Fulin: "I wasn't like this when I got drunk before. You have to believe me."

Lazy Fish: "You're just after my looks, and you still dare to brag and expect me to believe you!"

[Opening a Shop]

"Step right up, don't miss out!"

"Yueyu Paper Crafts: mountains and rivers, plants and trees, heaven and earth, humans and gods. We've got it all!"

"Do you know what a mermaid is? Want to learn from a mermaid instructor in person?"

"Yueyu Swimming Pool: experience a summer unlike any other, with fragrant, warm hot springs in winter, too!"
