The Grateful Little Mermaid Is Soft and Sweet, and Lord Qin Breaks His Rules for Her

[A mermaid who lives in an incense burner × a “professional” caretaker rich enough to rival a kingdom, both virgins, one-on-one]

A-Dai had lived in an incense burner for over a thousand years. All she did every day was sleep. Whenever her fairy friends told her about the world outside, she would yearn for it, longing to see it with her own eyes. Finally, one day, a man took “her” home. Once the seal was broken, A-Dai was so moved she teared up. Clinging to her benefactor’s shoulder, she sobbed and clenched her fists, vowing to repay him to the best of her ability.

Qin Yu was known in the capital as Third Master Qin. Handsome and refined, he was ruthless and cold-hearted. After both his parents died when he was young, his personality grew increasingly distant. One New Year, a friend gave him an antique incense burner. But ever since he placed it in his bedroom, strange things had kept happening. Items in the room were always out of place, inexplicable puddles appeared on the floor, and when he was half-asleep, something seemed to be in his bed…

One afternoon, Qin Yu came home early from work. When he opened the door, he saw a young girl wiping up spilled milk on the floor. Her hair was as dark as a waterfall, her skin smooth as jade, and she had a delicate nose and bright eyes. When she saw him, she turned pale with fright and made a run for it.

Qin Yu hurriedly grabbed her hand and demanded, “What are you doing?”

The girl answered timidly, “R-repaying your kindness…”

Qin Yu asked with interest, “And how are you going to do that?”

Through her tears, the girl listed everything she owned: “You can have my pearls, my antiques, and all the money I’ve saved…”

Qin Yu wanted none of it. He bent down, lifted the girl into his arms, and gazed down at her. “You should repay me by giving yourself to me.”

The frightened girl’s beautiful fish tail flicked into view.
