Interstellar Life After the Merfolk Are Forced Ashore

[Free to read in full]

[Sweet, adorable, stunning drama-queen mermaid hybrid heroine x gentle, aloof god hero who is devoted to protecting her]

Jinzhao had thought she would live an ordinary life beneath the sea, but her mom forcibly (not really) sent her ashore to complete a mission.

One: Find her human dad, whose identity she didn’t know, and her twin brother!

Two: Study hard, make something of herself, and return home to help build her community!

Looking at the interstellar survival guide her mom had given her, Jinzhao, forced to come ashore, felt touched. Mom still cares about me after all.

But when she reached land and opened it, she found:

Interstellar Survival Guide, Rule One: Be both tough and gentle. Play dumb to outwit your foes, and stay calm in the face of change.

Interstellar Survival Guide, Rule Two: If you can beat them, fight. If you can’t, run. If you can’t run, beg for mercy. In eighteen years, you’ll be a fine mermaid again!

The ultimate interstellar survival trick: Find someone powerful to cling to. Cling to them well. Hold on tight!

Jinzhao: ???

She could have carved a Magic Castle into the sand with her tail and still never guessed that, before she’d even gone looking for someone powerful to cling to, an outrageously powerful, golden thigh would show up uninvited!

One day, Jinzhao realized she had fallen for the man beside her.

“You’re quite handsome. If you pursue me, I might consider it. I hope you won’t be difficult about it, or I’ll have to get down on my knees and beg you.”

Chi Mu’s eyes curved with a smile, the amusement at his lips never fading. “If you’re shy, you can get me drunk first, then tell me you like me.”
