The Secret Affairs of the Fake Duke Couple (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 39
A loud voice echoed across the square. Jane and Merche turned in surprise to see Joseph, looking utterly cowed. Beside him, Wolfgang stood with his chin lifted, glaring fiercely at the men.
Sensing imminent trouble, Jane quickly rose to her feet. Merche did the same.
“Joseph!”
Jane stepped in front of Joseph.
“Are you the kid’s mother?”
Merche’s mouth fell open as she watched a man brazenly point his finger at Jane.
Jane instantly recognized him as a thug pretending to be nobility, trying to extort money.
It was the same kind of petty scam Victor and Hampton used to pull for extra coin.
They would loiter around Hauwsten Street, deliberately picking fights with young women or children to extract hush money.
“Yes. I am the child’s mother.”
“What about this outfit, huh? Do you even know how much it costs? This shirt was made by Hermes himself!”

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.”

Is it really the best idea to be going after an engaged man?
So Scarlett is a two-faced woman, just like I suspected.
Honestly what a difficult man. Jane deserves much better.
