The Little Mermaid Is Bullying Her Archrival Again Today

Su Yujin is the prettiest little merperson in the entire interstellar world, the cherished darling of his whole family.

He was spoiled rotten from childhood and had never had anything go wrong for him, until a matchmaking organization informed him that he had been paired with a man he'd never met.

The little merperson politely agreed to their faces, then turned around, swished his pretty tail, and ran away.

As if! Su Yujin wasn't about to be a fish at someone else's mercy. What era was this? Who still had arranged marriages?

But the little merperson ran off in such a hurry that he didn't even have time to bring any valuables. And he couldn't do a thing for himself, let alone take proper care of himself.

There was no choice. He used the last of his belongings to randomly pull someone he liked the look of out of a cage at the slave market and hire him as a nanny.

Fortunately, the little merperson's singing could heal people. He occasionally sang for money at a magnificent opera house, and somehow managed to make ends meet.

Until...

One night, Su Yujin woke up and realized the face of the "nanny" he'd grabbed on a whim was looking more and more familiar.

The little merperson was horrified.

He hadn't recognized him when he was pale, but now, seeing him all dark, he realized: wasn't this the rival he'd wanted to smack dead with his tail, the one who'd been black as coal when they were kids?

The little merperson had just swung his tail at him, but managed to stop himself at the last second.

Heard the guy was doing really well these days. Maybe he should ask him for a little spending money first?

Cang Zhu is the empire's great general. He can see what other people are thinking, and his true identity is a demon. He loves giving himself extra work and, when he has nothing better to do, wandering around to bait people into revealing their misdeeds.

He strolled over to the slave market, broke his own arms and legs, and curled up in a cage, pretending to be a useless slave.

He never expected anyone to buy him, even then.

Unbelievable.

Even more unbelievable, a great general like him was mistaken for a nanny and ordered around nonstop.

Laundry, cooking, cleaning, childcare: he did it all.

But nobody could handle working two jobs around the clock, day and night, as both a nanny and a general.

At last, one day, he dozed off beside the little merperson's bed. When he opened his eyes, the little merperson was gazing at him with a sweet smile, his face cupped in his hands.

He heard the little merperson thinking:

"He's so handsome. I love him so much."

"Beautiful. He's beautiful everywhere. He's exactly the type little merpeople like."

The empire's great general blushed, let go, and fell flat on the floor with a thump.

He lowered his head and coughed. Just as he was about to say something, he looked up and heard the fish thinking:

"The most handsome nanny in the whole interstellar world. I don't want to work hard anymore, please give me just a little money to spend... No, that's not right. Let's do that line again."

The general was shocked and furious. It took him a while to remember who this brat was.

So this was the little fish from the Su family, the one who used to love breaking off his fangs, pulling his wings, biting his little demon horns, then turning around and pretending to be a well-behaved angel while ordering him around with the adults' approval.

How could he have been stuck doing menial work for the same bullying little merperson all these years?

The demon was bitter.
