Song Xingyu is the beloved young heiress of the Song family.
She has the family background everyone envies.
And the most enviable arranged-marriage partner in the world.
But one day, it all became a joke. Exposed as a fake heiress, she fell from a heaven of adoration into a frozen hell, while the whole world waited to laugh at her.
Song Xingyu looked at her "family," who had turned their backs on her without a second thought, and at her betrothed, who declared their engagement null and void. Clutching the rain-soaked hem of her dress, she turned around, packed up, and made a grand entrance into the world of livestreaming.
She livestreamed cooking, storytelling, freediving, and survival variety shows.
That year, she became a sensation.
That year, she was paired up as a couple with Qi Guang, Qi Li's older brother.
That year, the legendary merman prince appeared!
Song Xingyu, a mermaid who had been colorblind since birth, saw the dazzling colors of the world for the first time in her life.
She stared at the huge, beautiful tail in an image online, drooling with envy.
"Ah, what a gorgeous tail!"
"Ahhh!!! Those colors are so beautiful! When will I ever look like that?"
"Why is he in color while I'm just gray and white?"
They said he was the only mermaid in the world, and that his kind was about to go extinct.
Song Xingyu sighed as she looked at her gray-and-white tail. What a pity he was Qi Li's older brother, or she would have bravely stepped forward and claimed him for herself.
Then, at Qi Li's wedding to someone else, Song Xingyu fell into the swimming pool in a wretched heap and fled in embarrassment, dragging her "gray" tail behind her.
Qi Guang waited for her around the corner, handed her a dry towel, and took her back to where she was staying.
Bonus scene:
Qi Guang asked dejectedly, "Why are you avoiding me?"
Song Xingyu said, "My tail is ugly..."
Qi Guang's face flushed red. Shyly, he said, "No, I'm the ugly one. You're the most beautiful, the most beautiful mermaid princess I could ever imagine!"
"No, you're the most beautiful. Don't force yourself just because you can't find any other fish." Song Xingyu panicked.
Qi Guang grew even shyer. "But you're clearly so pretty, prettier than me."
"Huh?"
Qi Guang said, "You're the most beautiful!!! I'll give you all my money, and from now on, I'll be gentle only with you! Let's fall in love!"
From then on, the world's only mermaid couple began a passionate romance with the nation as their witness, and even found a way to treat their colorblindness.
The audience:
"We're numb. Don't ask about the size of our psychological scars, ask the Song family!"
"A pair of mermaids keep lying through their teeth with their eyes wide open. I'm speechless. Why does colorblindness work differently for everyone?!"
"I want mermaid colorblindness too, so I can find my true love at a glance~ Only the person who makes my heart flutter would be in color!"
