Lin Qiqi was an orphan who spent her days stealing chickens and dogs. Then one day at the market, she met Fu Mingcheng, and fell for him at first sight. After spending time together and testing each other again and again, she had already fallen deeply in love. She thought Fu Mingcheng was an ordinary human, just like her, until one day she caught sight of him in a hot spring. Through the swirling white steam, she saw a tail faintly appearing beneath the water.
A tail? Lin Qiqi's eyes widened. She clutched her chest and sighed, but when she thought of Fu Mingcheng's face, she took another careful look at that fish tail. Well, it wasn't as if she couldn't accept it.
Fu Mingcheng was the young lord of the merfolk, said to have the most beautiful tail in his entire clan. One day, hoping to uncover the story of his great-grandmother, he left the place where his family had lived in seclusion for generations. In the human world, he met Lin Qiqi, who harbored a secret without knowing it. Compared with the warmth and candor in her eyes, the little scheme he carried in his heart seemed magnified beyond measure. Then one day, Lin Qiqi suddenly saw him bathing.
