Family-focused version: After transmigrating, Lin Yinqing goes from being abandoned by his father and disliked by his mother to becoming the beloved treasure of the dragon clan...
Only, he has not just a pair of dragon wings, but a fish tail too.
They say merfolk and dragons are mortal enemies. They also happen to be the world's most powerful beings, and some schemers plot to make one side attack the other. They wait for years, but the two clans never fight. Instead, they grow ever more carefree and reclusive, spending their days searching everywhere for rare treasures, jewels, and gold coins.
What they don't know is that their soft, adorable little one has taken one of each by the hand. “You two have to get along. No fighting, okay?”
The hot-tempered fire dragon and the cold Merman Emperor exchange a glance and snort. Only for the little one's sake.
Romance-focused version: Everyone says the child the Lin family took back is pretty but stiff and stupid. They never expected to see him again soaring through the sky on dragon wings.
He is as breathtakingly beautiful as ever, with the same natural, innocent air about him. There's no sign of the foolish, dim-witted person the rumors described.
Someone with malicious intentions claims he uses his looks to win people over. The dragon clan smacks them into the sky. “That's the little one I raised with my own two hands!”
A jealous person tries to put on an act, only for a merfolk to sweep them into the sea with his tail. “What are you, to think you can compare your looks to a merfolk's?”
His foster younger brother, who is always competing with him, publicly confesses his love to the leader of a third-party race on the platform. But rumors say this powerful figure, whose true identity is unknown to anyone, is also falling for the Lin family's pretty young master. Everyone is eager to watch the brothers fight over him. Feeling exasperated, Lin Yinqing turns to his childhood friend to complain.
“There are so many good men in the world. If he wants him, he can have him.”
Much later, pinned beneath his childhood friend in bed, Lin Yinqing hears the slightly hoarse voice above him and regrets his words.
“Who did you want to give me to?”
“Hm?”
A man who holds a grudge is no good, except when he's your childhood friend.
Reading guide:
1. Soft, cute shou x cold, aloof gong, childhood friends, with a touch of healing.
2. 40% ordinary child-rearing, slow burn; 60% romance and daily life, plus plot.
3. The protagonist is a little mermaid, not a dragon baby.
4. This is not selfcest. The romance starts later, so there is no childhood romance. (Unless being inside an egg counts as an age, in which case they fall in love late.)
5. If you think it's pretty good, cuties, please leave comments and bookmarks. (Who says this isn't a story of healing in real life?)
6. If the style or content isn't to your taste, please don't insult me. Leave gracefully. Many thanks.
