[Naturally airheaded, flirts without realizing it, merman bottom x possessive young master top]

Qi Siyun has had a charmed life since childhood. If he doesn't work hard, he'll inherit the family business. His latest problem is his parents pressuring him to get married, so he has to make up a partner.

Butler: "Young Master, who exactly is your partner?"

Qi Siyun pointed at someone at random. "Him."

Tang Xisheng, hiding behind a reef with newly transformed human legs: ?!

The merman Tang Xisheng woke up to find the ocean polluted and his people nowhere to be found. To survive, he had no choice but to come ashore.

He hadn't gone far before he met a man named Qi Siyun.

Qi Siyun told him that if he pretended to be his partner, he'd get free food and lodging. Looking at Qi Siyun's handsome, proper face, Tang Xisheng nodded solemnly.

Their life as a couple, however, didn't go very smoothly.

*

The two of them went abroad for a vacation on an island.

That night, with the sea breeze blowing, Qi Siyun clinked glasses with a friend.

Friend: "Why didn't you bring your partner out to have fun?"

Qi Siyun: "No need. He's a bit of an intro... Whoa!"

A loud splash rang out as a familiar black shape fell into the sea like a stone.

Qi Siyun: "Holy crap! My partner!"

He plunged into the sea without thinking.

Tang Xisheng hadn't seen such clean water in ages. Taking advantage of the dark, he quietly went for a swim. But just as his tail appeared, he heard a familiar voice.

Qi Siyun: "Don't be afraid, I'm here to save..."

Before he could finish, he sank into the sea, blowing bubbles.

Tang Xisheng: ...

He had no choice but to flick his tail and turn back to save him.

When their six-month contract ended, Tang Xisheng prepared to leave the Qi family.

Qi Siyun carefully prepared a proposal, cornered him at the door, and pulled out a diamond ring bigger than a fist.

Tang Xisheng leaned in. "This thing..."

Qi Siyun thought he had it in the bag. Before he could celebrate, the other man shook his head.

Tang Xisheng went back to his room and carried out a large box filled with rare treasures. "...We've got these all over my home. Pick whichever ones you like."

*

Just as the legends say, merfolk have a different body structure, and their tails are the most sensitive part of their bodies.

Tang Xisheng carefully pretended to be human every day, but Qi Siyun loved making him show his tail and counting the pearls he cried.

His silvery-blue tail, which should have been a weapon of the deep, was now held fast by a large hand. It swayed to someone else's rhythm, its tip trembling as his snowy skin quickly flushed red.

"Baby, how about one more time?"

Reading guide:

· A faithful 1v1 couple, no breaking them up, reversing roles, dream substitutions, face-swapping, or putting characters down. Happy ending.

· No secondary couples. Supporting characters are there to serve the main couple's relationship development.

· The bottom pretends to be mute at first, but he will speak.

· Includes anime and livestreaming. The characters aren't based on real people, so please don't make inappropriate comments.

· Free chapters are available to sample. I recommend buying one chapter at a time. I don't accept any form of writing advice. No need to tell me if you drop the book.
