The Mermaid Tycoon Plays Sweet for Love

Fish-tail enthusiast, beacon of righteousness x merman powerhouse who plays sweet for love

Xin Zhao accidentally took liberties with a young merman and brought him home as her partner. There was no other reason: he had a beautiful fish tail.

Si Muxuan was the perfect partner.

He was kind and harmless, with a gentle disposition. The tips of his ears turned red when he called her "Husband," and he always put her first. Even his clinginess was adorable.

His only shortcoming was that his cultivation was a little weak. She couldn't help worrying that someone might kill him, so she had to urge him to cultivate every day.

He was also easy to coax. Give him a little reward, and off he'd go to cultivate, beaming with happiness.

Until one day, she saw him kill a great demon with her own eyes.

Si Muxuan's rut had arrived. He planned to act weak and find some poor sucker who could help him get through it safely.

Xin Zhao had swept away injustice across the land with her sword and was known as the beacon of righteousness. He chose her.

He acted innocent and harmless, playing his part as her partner to perfection. But the longer he acted, the more he fell for her himself.

She helped him cultivate, told him not to give up studying medicine, and stood up for him. When others mocked him, she held his face and said, "Don't listen to them. You're the best person in the world."

He knew how vile and obsessive he was. Countless times, he'd wanted to possess her.

But he also knew she liked him innocent and harmless, so he tucked away all his claws.

Until the day he killed a great demon in front of her and saw the terror on her face.

If that was how it had to be, he would stop hiding his true nature and make sure she saw no one but him.

Healing, marriage first and love later, a touch of groveling

P.S. There is a reason the heroine is terrified when she sees the hero kill a great demon. It doesn't contradict her characterization, but it involves the plot, so I can't spoil it. Please keep reading, dear readers!

I Turned the Male Lead into a Sweetheart

After Liu Rongyi died, she was bound to a Scum-Torturing System. Complete the missions and she'd earn rewards, and once they were done, she could come back to life!

Liu Rongyi threw her head back and laughed three times.

Torturing scumbags was great! Torturing scumbags was wonderful! She loved it!

Before she could even go on a rampage, she discovered that this System was not decent at all! What was this about getting intimate with her senior brother, being locked in a dark room by him, walking in on her master bathing, helping the Demon Lord dispel an aphrodisiac, and soothing the demon king during his rut? The possessiveness in their eyes grew more and more intense. They looked ready to devour her whole.

Help! My waist is in danger!

Only then did Liu Rongyi realize she hadn't been bound to a Scum-Torturing System at all, but to a Restricted-Fiction Heroine System! And not just any heroine: the soft, delicate heroine of a restricted novel!

Being soft and delicate was fine, but it couldn't be her!

Liu Rongyi immediately used her items on the male leads and supporting male characters instead.

The lovesick senior brother turned into a frail, beautiful young man; the aloof immortal became a top-tier incubus; the unruly Demon Lord fell for brothel-style antics; the wickedly charming demon king became a widowed father with a child…

When the System came back, it nearly went mad at the sight.

"Aaaah! They're all male leads! How can male leads be soft and delicate?"

Liu Rongyi raised an eyebrow. "A soft and delicate heroine is fine, but a soft and delicate male lead isn't?"

How to read:

1. The original male leads and supporting male characters each have their own issues. Most are scumbags, and none are good matches.

2. Cultivation ranks: Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Tribulation Transcendence, Deification, and finally godhood.

3. The setting features the human, demon, and devil realms.
