Summary
Prosecutor Lin Zhifei buys a badly injured merman at a suspiciously low price, planning to release him once he recovers. The seller insists Wen Lan refuses to sing or cry, yet he hums at night, sheds pearls at the slightest upset, and keeps pulling out scales for her. Mistaking his courtship gifts for anxiety, Lin Zhifei returns him to the sea—only to discover that ‘setting him free’ looks an awful lot like abandonment to a lovestruck merman. Between a landmark merfolk-rights law, an absurd chain of misunderstandings, and one very determined crybaby, can land and sea finally learn to speak the same language?
