Story

The story

Elle knows Theo Atwater is the villain of this world, and she is the wife his late grandfather arranged for him. Her mission was to save him, but she slacked off, spending his money and occupying his bed while the system watched his corruption level stay frozen. When she learns the pearls Theo cries are worth a fortune, she realizes her villain is a merman and a cash cow.

Pregnant after a drugged night he may not remember, Elle rushes to the rooftop to stop his suicide attempt, using the baby as leverage. Theo survives, and soon the feared villain is consulting doctors about merbabies, cooking seafood stew, and massaging her cramps. His corruption level begins to drop, but the female lead, Melody Carlisle, arrives at the villa begging Theo to save her father, and Elle must decide how far she will go to keep her merman.

Opening excerpt

When I learned that the villain was a merman who dropped pearls whenever he cried, I took out the discarded pregnancy test stick from the trash can and headed toward the rooftop. "Well, how many babies do you merfolk have in one pregnancy? Do they eat fish food or baby formula?"

Theo Atwater, who was attempting suicide, slipped and almost fell from the 18th floor.

I shook my head with a sigh. "Forget it. I'll just throw the baby into the sea after giving birth."
