Love Me Just Once (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 114
But they weren’t arguing about the family’s dishonor or matters of responsibility, so Ophelia quietly listened to Idren’s words. He continued speaking.
“There are generally two ways to deal with illegitimate children: either confine them completely so they cannot step outside, or send them away discreetly beforehand. Usually, they are raised under the former approach, then treated according to the latter when the time comes.”
Upon hearing those words, Ophelia involuntarily recalled the past of the man beside her.
Idren had been sent to the borderlands before reaching adulthood, and eventually returned to cut down his own kin.
In hindsight, one might call it a fortunate turn of events. After all, he had become the king of Aglante.
Even Mahanas, a prince from the feeble kingdom of Reden, wielded absolute power within his own realm. And the throne of Aglante stood infinitely higher than even Mahanas.
Yet, it seemed impossible to claim that the choices Idren had made on his path to that throne truly reflected his deepest desires. Though she herself had sharpened her resolve solely for vengeance, at her core she had always longed for a warm, peaceful life.
When her thoughts reached that point, Ophelia hesitated briefly. Should she offer comfort to the man beside her?
Certainly, in similar circumstances, she herself would never have hoped for another’s consolation—but Idren seemed to appreciate kind words.
While she was still weighing what to say, Idren spoke.
“I don’t know whether you still consider that prince a friend, but if you do, it would be best to sever that bond. The emperor or the crown prince will soon intervene.”
Ophelia understood his meaning instantly. Regardless of any distaste she might feel toward the prince’s despicable actions, she clearly grasped why Idren had said it.
And Netepel couldn’t possibly be unaware of what she knew. Though she was disappointed by his narrow-mindedness and selfishness, Ophelia didn’t think Netepel was foolish enough to miss something so obvious.
Thus, it made no sense for him to willingly sour relations with Aglante…
Just as that thought crossed her mind, Ophelia suddenly realized something. She and Idren already assumed—no, fully expected—that Aglante would win the coming war, but Netepel would perceive it differently.

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.”
