He Who Covets the Abandoned Bride (10 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 139
Seeing Laila and Brian return, Count Orson looked utterly flustered. Clearly unprepared for their unexpected arrival, he seemed unsure how to react—but ultimately ushered them inside.
He appeared to reason that there must be some purpose behind their return.
Despite the suddenness of the situation, Count Orson promptly led them to the dining room and served them a meal first.
Having wandered about all evening without dinner, Brian, though slightly embarrassed, eagerly filled his stomach.
Watching him intently, Count Orson asked,
“…Why have you come back?”
Laila, who had just taken a light bite of bread, hastily swallowed it down.
“Well… I checked all the lodging places nearby, but none of them suited me.”
“…”
Though the excuse sounded rather feeble, they had spent the entire day crafting precisely this alibi. To those who had witnessed their efforts firsthand, it wouldn’t seem quite so implausible.
Still, Count Orson let out a quiet sigh. The servants nearby were also eyeing Laila and Brian with evident wariness.
Because the dining room door had been left open, the royal knights stationed outside wore similarly uneasy expressions.
Yet from her remark about checking every lodging, Count Orson seemed to grasp the implication—that they hadn’t been able to reach the place they were truly meant to go.
His words came out quite smoothly.
“It wouldn’t be difficult to let you stay one more night, but given that we currently have guests, you’ll need to remain quiet.”

Male lead is a Love-Obsessed Merman
When he discovers she has gone, he risks everything to pursue her on land, enduring agonizing pain to transform his tail into human legs…

One-line summary: Male lead chases female lead. The male lead’s love is a bit sick, an invincible love brain.
Synopsis
During a voyage at sea, Jiang Yang accidentally captures a merman.
Servant: I heard that mermen are fierce and brutal.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman obediently rubbing her palm like a puppy: “You call this fierce and brutal?”
Servant: I heard that mermen have no human nature.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman with wet puppy eyes, obsessively calling her ‘A Yang’ like a childish infant: “You call this having no human nature?”
With great difficulty, she releases the merman back into the sea and returns to shore.
Who would have thought that in less than half a month, the merman, who should have been freely wandering in the South China Sea, would shed his scales, endure the pain of losing his tail, transform into human legs, and come ashore to find her?
He kneels at her feet, rubbing her palm, with merman tears rolling down: “A Yang, don’t abandon me.”
