I Decided to Let You Go (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 39
Until that day arrived, Natasha’s illness showed no sign of improving.
As had always been the case, the future remained unchanged. Ravaged by a relentless fever that refused to break for days, Natasha suffered as she had in her previous life—so gravely ill she nearly died.
A few days later, while Natasha remained bedridden, the Empire’s Victory Commemoration Day approached. Today was a grand occasion honoring the Empire’s achievements. Every region celebrated boisterously, rejoicing in victory and peace.
Their northern territory, Britann, was no exception. Yet the Duchy of Aschardt alone had suspended its festivities. Though no official reason had been given, both servants and subjects quietly understood—it was out of consideration for their newly welcomed Duchess.
For today was the anniversary of the deaths of the Duchess of Aschardt—the woman cherished by the Duke—and her entire family.
It was the very day the severed heads of the royal family were hung like exhibits on the walls of the Retiers Imperial Palace—the day the ancient royal house finally announced its downfall, and the Kingdom of Charlier vanished into history.
Alone in her room, Natasha gasped for breath. The headache, never allowing her time to grow accustomed, persisted unrelentingly.
“Hah… hah…”
Through ears muffled as if underwater, she heard the sound of firecrackers. Her heart pounded rapidly at each successive, dazzling blast. Startled, her mouth released short, ragged breaths, mingled intermittently with faint moans between labored inhalations.
The moment she became fully conscious of everything, the headache intensified. Her mind churned in rhythm with the ticking of a clock.
Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock. Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock…
Strange. The clock’s ticking shouldn’t be this loud. The noise dominating her mind morphed into indescribable agony.
‘It hurts… painkillers…’
Her delicate hand trembled violently as it reached out. Fumbling with her fingers, she accidentally knocked over the medicine packet. Powerless, the packet slid off and fell to the floor one after another.
Crash!

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.”
