Chapter 06 Sipping on my second drink, I let out deep sighs. The sweetness seemed to loosen up my stiff head, and it started working again. "Why does it keep failing?" "You said you were doing it exactly as the book instructed, right?" "Yeah. I guess self-study was too much after all." For about a week, I'd rummaged through all sorts of books and tried my best, but I only repeated failures every time. Was it a mistake to try self-study? I should have just found a teacher…- 1.6 M • Ongoing
- Chapter 05 "If there were a way for her to get better, would you do anything?" "Of course." Kairan answered without a moment's hesitation. Outwardly, his expression was still calm, but his eyes seemed quite earnest. Seeing that made my head feel complicated. Hmm, is there any way I can help? But I don't really have anything to my name except my body... The only useful thing I have is magic. "...Magic?" Right! Why didn't I think of magic? Magic is an inherent ability of mermaids,…

- Chapter 04 Night had fallen again. Hearing the door close, I cracked open one eye. Is she gone? Focusing all my senses on my ears, I roughly gauged Maya's location. As soon as I confirmed that I could no longer hear her footsteps, I quickly got out of bed. The reason I was making this outing again today, which was supposed to be a one-time escapade, was entirely because of Kairan. Perhaps because I knew the original story so well, he kept weighing on my mind. "Knowing how much he's…

- Chapter 03 "This is the content up to the middle of the original story... But I remember it being completed, so why can't I remember the ending?" I thought hard, but the ending just wouldn't come to mind. Something—there was some major event besides the malignancy and the main leads' story—but why can't I remember it? Did I not finish reading it? That couldn't be. I felt like there was something very important, but no matter how much I racked my brain, I couldn't remember the ending…

- Chapter 02 What about me looks like a ghost! The thought that I'd been mistaken for the one thing I hate most in the world made my face scrunch up. When I glared at him with a look of disbelief, the boy gave an awkward laugh and made an excuse. "No, I mean, think about it. You're in the water in the middle of the night, and your hair's soaking wet—it's a pretty understandable misunderstanding, don't you think?" Well... I suppose that's true. Other mermaids had told me that humans…

- Chapter 01 "And so, the human and the mermaid lived happily ever after." With those final, gentle words, the fairy tale of love between a human and a mermaid came to its end. I kept my eyes closed, deliberately breathing evenly as if I were already asleep. After a moment, I heard the careful closing of a book and felt Maya tidying up my rumpled blankets. "Sweet dreams, Princess." Maya gently stroked my head a couple of times before quietly leaving the room. I focused all my senses on…

Chapter 15 Seeing people mock him like that, it seemed she was the only one who wanted to win the bid for Duke Whistler, but as always, one couldn't let their guard down. Interest always goes through stages—the denial period and the fox's sour grapes theory. The commonality between these two theories is that they start with "I don't really like that person" and "That person isn't my type," but end with "So that's how it is." There are dramas that survive criticism and maintain ratings despite…- 1.5 M • Ongoing
- Chapter 14 "Indeed, our Alosha looks truly beautiful today." "Thank you." She received the compliment somehow, but it didn't make her feel particularly good. Alosha felt she could understand the mindset of a villainess who wants to torment a female lead who's more eye-catching and prettier than herself in a romance fantasy novel. With Alexis as her escort, she arrived safely at the palace, where a masked staff member came out to greet them. "The Nocturne Count's family and their…

- Chapter 13 "And there's another reason we absolutely must attend this charity bazaar. Look at the name of the partner company here." "The Laosh Merchant Group?" "We've done business with them a few times. Their merchant group is large, and their head is quite sharp in handling affairs. If Duke Whistler truly is preparing for civil war, the only places capable of supplying the funds and goods to stop him would be the O'Claire and Laosh merchant groups. It would be good to build connections with…

- Chapter 12 "By the way, what did you call me for?" "An invitation to an Imperial event arrived. It says all nobles residing in the city are required to attend." It hadn't even been a full day since she brought up the idea, yet things were moving so quickly—Emil must be quite capable. "An Imperial event, all of a sudden?" "A charity ball to help the less fortunate in the Empire, it says. For once, the Imperial Court seems to be doing something that actually considers the…
