Kalif’s face remained tense. Felix let out a deep sigh. The words he had heard from Evelia didn’t easily come out of his lips.
But it was something that needed to be known, especially by Kalif.
“Evelia said so. She was frail as a child, but she’s never been to the domain for convalescence. She only had frequent dreams of happily playing there.”
“Hmph.”
A hollow sigh escaped from between Kalif’s teeth. A dream? It was nonsense. The moment he first saw Evelia was still as vivid as yesterday. And to call that a dream? It was unbelievable.
“Evelia needs to know. That what happened in the domain was not a dream but a reality. Only then can you remember as well.”
Felix stated firmly. But no words entered Kalif’s ears. He simply exhaled roughly.
It was empty. He couldn’t hide his feelings. A situation he had never once considered despite revisiting it dozens of times.
Suddenly, the moment he had revealed his true identity to Evelia came to mind.
So that’s why it was.
“[…Kalif Dewit? I’ve never heard that name before. Your Highness, you’re joking, right? Please say it was just a joke. Please…!]”
So that’s why she could only look so terrified upon hearing my name.
Kalif exhaled the accumulating breath in his mouth. His throat tightened due to an inexplicable emotion, and the breath that fought its way through felt incredibly rough.
It hurt. An indescribable pain kept surging forth. His heart, let alone his entire body, felt like it was crumbling to dust. Overwhelmed by the oncoming misery, he tightly closed his eyes.
“Maybe you should just be honest with Evelia? Tell her that you’re not really Liurian, but Kalif.”
Caliph raised a smile tinged with self-mockery. If the situation could have been different, the cycles of regression would not have continued until now.
“No need for that.”
“What? What are you talking about? Are you telling me you still don’t understand? Evelia doesn’t fail to remember you; she can’t even perceive your existence!”
“I know what you’re saying. I understand well enough.”
“Ha, and you still say there’s no need? Are you saying you won’t make any attempt and will just leave things as they are?”
Felix furrowed his brow deeply. Despite that, Caliph looked at him with a suddenly serene face.
“I’ve already tried.”
“Caliph.”
“Telling her I’m not Liurian would only distress her.”
“It’s not the same as before. The time you’ve been holding out without regressing is much longer now! This time, the outcome might be different. Evelia might remember you!”
“I can’t rule out the possibility that she won’t remember. If that’s the case, she’ll suffer in shock again. The distance that I’ve barely managed to close will become irreversibly distant. We’ll have to start over again.”
“Ha, so you’re saying you won’t even try? You’ll continue to live this tiresome life for her, who can’t even perceive your existence?”
“It doesn’t matter. My life was tiresome before regression as well.”
“My God, Caliph, please!”
Felix desperately tried to dissuade Caliph. The more he did, the colder Caliph’s face grew.
Felix couldn’t help but sigh. He felt incredibly sorry for Caliph. As far as he knew, Caliph’s life had been harsh enough already.
A life driven only by the happiness of others, what kind of cruel joke was this?
Felix wished for Caliph’s happiness. Though he couldn’t escape his hardships at the moment, he hoped a bright moment of happiness would eventually come to him.
And yet, his face was tinged with a pain-filled smile. It was a face too distant from happiness.
“From the start, my goal was only to make her happy. Isn’t that why I’ve been hiding my true identity?”
“…….”
“As long as she’s happy, as long as Evelia can be happy….”
“…….”
“I don’t mind if I’m not remembered.”
At those pitiful words to himself, Felix finally closed his eyes tightly. He could no longer bear to look at Caliph.

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.”
