After Being Forced to Woo Ten Bigshots in the Merfolk Realm

[I'll start this one as soon as I finish Judge, rubbing my hands together] [I've got hundreds of thousands of words saved up, so dive in without worry ovo]

Gu Chang'an transmigrated in spectacular fashion.

On her wedding day, the groom was killed, and a strange man who dropped from the sky forcibly dragged her to another world full of merfolk.

Her species had changed, and that wasn't even the end of it.

Bad news: She had none of the three standard perks: memories, a System, or a golden finger.

Good news: .

There was no good news at all!!

To make matters worse, she discovered:

1. Merfolk in this world had all kinds of hair and eye colors, but black was the one color they didn't have. They also looked down on mixed blood.

2. This world revered sword cultivators. With a severed finger, she couldn't wield a sword and had no chance of becoming one.

And she had pure black hair and eyes, and her right pinky had been cut off at the root.

Gu Chang'an: ...Fine, fine. The sky's falling, the king's dead, and I've got a hellish start (crawling around in the dark) (headbutting a wall) (going crazy).

At this point, all she could do was survive.

Black-haired and mixed-blood? How about learning disguise techniques!

A missing finger on her right hand? How about mastering the divine left hand!

Gu Chang'an kept fighting monsters and leveling up, eventually finding clues that could lead her home. Every mystery was connected to those ten handsome powerhouses.

Gu Chang'an (confidently): Just ten. :)

Target One: The aloof and unruly crown prince

The crown prince's swordsmanship was peerless, and he had defeated countless enemies. He had plenty of admirers. The first time he saw Gu Chang'an, he didn't even spare her a glance before stabbing her with his sword.

Target Two: The icy young master of a noble family

The young master had taken countless lives with his poison and never had anything to do with women. The first time he saw Gu Chang'an, he poisoned her with a twenty-year toxin.

Target Three: The sinister, scheming master of a pleasure house

With his cunning and supernatural schemes alone, the master of Hua Man Lou threw the entire Sea Realm into chaos. The first time he met Gu Chang'an, he played a one-hour suffocation game with her.

Target Four: The pristine, aloof state preceptor with a cleanliness obsession

The state preceptor was as ethereal as an immortal. He slaughtered people in rivers of blood, yet not a speck of it stained his robes. The first time he saw Gu Chang'an, he nearly chopped off her head.

...This wasn't quite what she'd expected.

But she'd already survived a hellish start. This was nothing she couldn't handle!

Gu Chang'an: In seclusion. Do not disturb. Leveling up. +

After a long, rough journey, Gu Chang'an gradually rose to prominence. With a sword in her left hand, she moved with effortless grace and conquered the merfolk world with her black hair and eyes.

And then...

The proud crown prince clutched her hand, eyes red-rimmed, and begged her to love him.

The heir who had spent years using poison washed his hands and cooked for her, his expression tender as he said, "As long as you're happy."

The master, who had always protected himself, sank into the mire for her, willingly becoming a pawn to be sacrificed.

The elegant state preceptor held her tightly in his arms, wiping every drop of blood from her again and again with his fingertips.

The noble men willingly bowed their heads, becoming her devoted admirers.

The story started heading in a strange direction.

To be unlocked: #Brothers sharing her, one gives way# #A master and his apprentice become rivals in love# #Her personal guard steals her away# #A former best friend falls out with her over love# #A powerful substitute becomes the other woman for love# (To be continued)

...Wait, weren't you all trying to kill me?

Gu Chang'an (sighing): Stop fighting. All of you, come at me together.

Warnings and guide:

1. There really are ten men, but I could only fit four in the blurb (facepalm). They're not different fragments of one person!!! There are genuinely ten of them!! (Emphasis)

2. All the male leads are virgins; the heroine is not a widow.

3. There is a male lead, but the male side characters spend a lot of time alone with the heroine and have plenty of intimate contact with her. Everything that can happen will happen. The male side characters aren't just window dressing!! Each has depth and a life of his own.

4. The romance develops quickly, and the heroine balances everyone's affections well. Expect plenty of melodramatic competition between men and explosive, thrilling scenes.

5. Happy ending
