Also known as: The Mermaid's Secret / My Secret Husband Is a Retired Best Actor

Hopelessly devoted, loyal Best Actor VS adorable, goofy little mermaid

The little mermaid wakes up to discover that she's transmigrated into a book, and not just any character, but Xiao Yu, the vicious second female lead whom everyone in the story despises...

The little mermaid thinks to herself: They're bullying a fish~

She hears that if she follows the original plot to the end, she'll be able to return to her own world.

Little mermaid: Got it! I'm just the vicious second female lead, right? Piece of cake~

Facing the original female lead:

Your opportunities? I'll take them.

Your screen time? I'll take it.

Your man? I'll... can't take him...

Facing the original male lead:

You hate me? I'll cling to you.

You think I'm beneath you? (Climbs onto a stool to stand taller) How about now?

You'd never like me, even if you were beaten to death? (Rolls up her sleeves) Then let's see if you can be beaten to death...

The little mermaid, pleased with herself, plants her hands on her hips and waits for the good news that she can go home.

But why does the back of her neck keep feeling cold?

Sheng Zeyun has been having a bit of bad luck lately. He went deep-sea fishing but caught no fish. Instead, he reeled in Xiao Yu, the eldest daughter of the Xiao family and the wife he hadn't seen for six months since they registered their marriage.

It seems Miss Xiao has a condition, one that makes her believe she's a mermaid.

Question: What do you do when you discover your annoying wife has delusions?

Answer: Of course, respect and support her (puppy smile *￣︶￣)

Your wife wants to go on a dating show? No problem, I'll go with her.

Your wife wants to pursue my big brother? No problem, I can help set them up.

Your wife hates my future sister-in-law? No problem, sister-in-law, please bear with it for now.

After all, my wife is mentally ill.

Until he sees that glittering pink tail appear right in front of his eyes, Sheng Zeyun...

Wait, um, honey, listen to me. Actually, I'm the one who's mentally ill!

When rumors spread online that the triple-threat Best Actor Yan Zhao was planning a comeback and would be joining an obscure dating show,

the internet exploded.

Netizens cried out in unison: Hey, official account, stop teasing us! You're using a Best Actor to prop up your little flop of a show. Do you think you're worthy?

But once the show officially aired, netizens were stunned.

That guy trotting along behind Xiao Yu with a grin like he didn't have a care in the world, was he really the same cold, stone-faced Best Actor Yan Zhao they knew?

One netizen's scathing comment summed it up: Yan Zhao, have some dignity. Don't cheapen the Best Actor title.

Sheng Zeyun replied: Who's Yan Zhao? What does being a Best Actor matter? I just want to cuddle up to my wife. What's wrong with that?

Reading guide:

1. Yan Zhao is Sheng Zeyun's stage name, and Sheng Zeyun can hear the little mermaid's thoughts, though she doesn't know it.

2. This is a faithful-couple, happy-ending story. The male lead and the original character have no romantic history, and there is another reason they got married.

3. Before the story goes premium, the update schedule may change according to the rankings. After that, there will be daily updates.

4. Don't say anything, just hit follow~
