The Villain Family Opposes Independence (13 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 39
“Something’s off.”
My gut instinct told me so. There was something about that mage.
Seizing the break in the conversation between Duchess Ferdia and Duke Angelos, I quickly interjected.
“The gentleman behind you—I’ve never seen him before. Are you a mage, by any chance?”
I asked with exaggeratedly sparkling eyes, as if I’d never seen a mage in my life.
I wanted to appear like a naive, sheltered lady utterly ignorant of the world.
Duke Angelos chuckled warmly and readily replied,
“Ah, Lady Elodie. Yes, this individual is a mage recently employed by our house.”
“I see. It’s my first time meeting a mage up close—I must have been terribly rude.”
“Rude? Nonsense! It’s only natural to ask when you’re curious. Hahahaha.”
I felt Yansi’s sharp gaze on me, but I pretended not to notice and smiled sweetly along with Duke Angelos.
Even I was unnerved by my own insincerity—but I had no choice.
Sometimes, appearing harmless was the sharpest weapon of all.
My goal was to uncover information about that mage.

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.”

Miioo Chapter 40Well done, Duchess. Good work. Little Lily deserves to be loved. Servants who disrespected their mistress deserve to be dismissed.
Miioo Chapter 41Hmm… I thought they wouldn’t leave her behind, poor Lily.
Miioo Chapter 42What? Is it right to make a contract with a sin that has been sealed? Isn’t that dangerous?
