Summary
For centuries, sword cultivator Xie Wanfeng has treated the flawless merman Lan Shiyu as her sworn rival. Then he takes a lust demon’s poison meant for her, and one scandalous month shatters everything she thought she knew about him—and herself. When hidden resistance to the poison exposes his deception, Wanfeng follows a trail of jealousy, illusions, and priceless sword materials into the forbidden Southern Sea. There she discovers a love warped by old cruelty: Lan Shiyu would rather surrender his heart as a treasure than believe he deserves hers. To save him, Wanfeng must teach one stubborn merman that devotion is not the same as self-destruction.
