A sudden thought crossed my mind, and I reflexively shook my head.
That couldn’t be the case.
It was absurd.
It was something that couldn’t happen, and should never happen.
Even having such thoughts was a grave mistake.
But once a suspicion arises, it’s hard to dismiss, especially since there have been too many such incidents around me recently.
I slowly turned my head.
My feet were already moving as if possessed.
Step by step, my pace quickened, and just when my mouth went dry, there was a rustling noise.
I reflexively turned towards the sound and narrowed my eyes at the pair of round eyes I encountered.
Merial, hiding in the bush, was looking up at me.
“Merial. What on earth are you doing?”
“Hiding. Oops! I can’t get caught, so shh! Shh!”
Merial hastily put her index finger to her lips and lowered her voice.
Looking at Merial, whose hair I had neatly done up in the morning, I eventually gave up and bent down.
“Who are you playing hide and seek with?”
“Well, that is…”
Merial was flustered and clamped her hands over her mouth.
But the words she had already spoken could not be taken back.
“Uh, I promised daddy, what should I do…”
“A promise? What are you talking about?”
“Mom doesn’t like Merial playing hide and seek.”
“…”
“Am I going to be scolded?”
Merial cautiously clutched the hem of my dress.
I shook my head immediately as I saw her scared eyes.
“I won’t scold you if you tell me honestly without lying.”
“Really?”
“So tell me honestly. What did you promise daddy?”
“Daddy promised to be my secret friend.”
“A secret friend?”
“A friend who plays hide and seek with me without mom knowing. Daddy, me, and Auntie! The three of us!”
Merial, who showed three fingers, smiled brightly.
I clenched my mouth and forced a smile.
“…Merial, since mom bought a strawberry cream cake, do you want to go to the dining room first?”
“Really?”
“It’s a gift for being honest.”
“Then let’s go together! I want to eat with mom!”
“Mom will go find Auntie and Daddy. It will be troublesome if they don’t know Merial disappeared.”
“You’ll come soon?”
“Of course.”
The moment Merial turned her back, I wiped the smile off my face.
And walked away with large strides.
It’s amazing what human instincts can do.
I realized immediately when I discovered the lie using the innocent child.
I could understand that the situation, which I thought was bad enough already, could get worse.
I clenched my teeth and swung open the door to Margaret’s room.
Thankfully, or perhaps unfortunately, the door was not locked. No, it was fortunate.
The real misfortune was that I had to see the disgusting sight of a man and woman rolling naked on the bed, and that both of them were people I knew.
I covered my mouth with my hand to hold back the nausea.
So lost in their lust, they did not even realize I had entered, their disgusting forms engrossed in each other were unbearable.
Their entangled naked bodies, the four eyes that accidentally met mine showed it all.
I didn’t need to look far.
My husband’s mistress was my friend.

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.”
