[Airheaded mermaid heroine X tsundere Maine Coon cat hero, the hero is a background character at first]
[Guaranteed completion, every story will be finished. No abandoned plotlines or rushed endings.]
Years later, facing the flashing cameras of media outlets from different countries, Hai Zhaoyue would think back to that afternoon when she was killing fish at the seafood market in Shibian County.
A smiling stranger bowed and scraped as he handed her a business card. "You're the Fish-Killing Beauty, right? Hello, would you be interested in becoming an influencer for our company?"

As the 570th-generation descendant of a declining merfolk weaving family, Hai Zhaoyue's trial on land was to work at a seafood stall as a merciless fish-killing girl.
She had thought her trial would end with the dull routine of killing fish, but an influencer agency unexpectedly recruited her, and she became a beauty streamer.
Her results were dismal.
With nothing to do, Hai Zhaoyue started livestreaming herself making an apron from cloth woven with seawater she had prepared herself. The finished product was highly absorbent, breathable, odor-resistant, and easy to clean. It amazed everyone and quickly became a bestseller.
Inspired by her success, she began developing distinctive fabrics, livestreaming and sharing every step from selecting materials to making the finished products.
Every fabric she made became a huge hit. There was "Shimmering Mermaid Princess," lustrous as pearls; "Summer Mint," cool and mosquito-repellent; "Versailles Rose," sexy and mysterious with its own fragrance...

Hai Zhaoyue became a renowned young craft artist, with a huge fan following. She even appeared on the stage of the wildly popular variety show I'm a Big Star, and was once rumored to be living with popular actor Miao Zhongyu.
A gossip account posted one of her early fish-killing livestreams, claiming that she was an uneducated fishmonger whose products were cheap and shoddy, all a marketing stunt. It said she had climbed the ranks by fawning over Miao Zhongyu and was now being kept by him.
The accusations were immediately face-slapped.
#Renowned qipao designer Hu Li: Hilarious. Everyone knows it's hard to get a piece of Zhaoyue's fabric. If anyone doesn't want theirs, send it my way. I've got tons of orders and need it urgently.
#Reclusive inheritor of the intangible cultural heritage of Yunsha, Master Weng: Zhaoyue is my apprentice. She's sincere about her work, and I trust her character.
#Even Hai Yao, the soul singer who's been making waves recently, declared: Anyone who dares to bully my best friend will have to answer to me!
As for the male lead in the scandal, Miao Zhongyu had just returned from a business trip abroad. He didn't even have time to recover from jet lag before issuing a statement in the middle of the night:
[First, Yueyue saved my life. Second, she's always been the one supporting me. Third, I'm pursuing her. Once I win her heart, I'll treat you all to wedding candy.]
As soon as he posted it, the statement shot to the top of the trending searches.
Seeing the headline marked [Breaking], Hai Zhaoyue blushed and said angrily, "Miao Zhongyu! Who said I'd support you?"
The white Maine Coon lounging on the sofa and licking its paws twitched its ears, then elegantly walked up to Hai Zhaoyue and flopped down.
"Yueyue, I'm hungry. I want fish, braised. Thank you."
★ Reader's Guide
1. A growth-focused story, not a power fantasy. No overpowered golden finger, with character development as the main plot.
2. The characters are imperfect, with distinct strengths and weaknesses.
3. The story has three stages of growth: employee, entrepreneur, and artist. The hero is a background character in the first stage.
Theme: Work with dedication, and live with integrity
Joke from hell: The pearl you wanted, he came out
I don't dare to tell you frankly that I like you, and I don't dare to directly say why if I want the other person to stay. When the heroine wants to be nice, he wants her to get into trouble so that he can show off himself. But when the heroine wants to go home to see her grandma, he doesn't allow her. He looks very much like a dank and self-righteous man with a low head. The cat's reputation has been completely ruined.
It's faded, hahahahaha, it may mean that the mission failed and the mission needs to be restarted.
Can't An Ning hold on anymore? I hope I can leave memories according to An Ning's wish
These names are all very nice, and the green one is called Peacock Ling. It's so appropriate!
Finally there is someone who can be trusted to scold the male lead for dominating the drama.
There's just one question, is it just that the fish cloth is more difficult to make because of the silk?
Pisces still needs to learn more, not just in terms of craftsmanship. Pisces is too passive. Not many things are pushed by others, instead of understanding and learning by themselves.
If mosquito repellent is the selling point, I feel that the target users will pay more attention to the actual benefits, and it will be very difficult to build a brand or luxury product. I look forward to Xiaohai's development as an artist in the future by learning how to make and design her own special fabrics and using all kinds of whimsical ideas~!
The author writes very well! Come on?
