The designers, breathing heavily, began to sit down one by one. They all looked exhausted. The attendants hurriedly brought a full-length mirror to show the transformed appearance.
“Ladies, you look absolutely beautiful!”
“Wow!”
Hila genuinely admired her appearance. Holding the full-length mirror as if she couldn’t believe it, she turned around with a wide smile.
“So pretty, it feels like I’ve become a special person.”
“Yeah, Hila. You look really beautiful.”
“You too, Riley. If I were you, I’d wear gorgeous dresses every day. Well, everyone has different preferences. Anyway, you look so beautiful!”
“…It’s just too burdensome.”
“Really? If I were you, I’d wear glamorous dresses every day. Well, people have different priorities. Anyway, you look so pretty!”
“Really? If I were you, I’d wear glamorous dresses every day. Well, people have different priorities. Anyway, you look so pretty!”
While Hila admired herself in the mirror, Sak, who arrived at the mansion, came out to greet the two.
“Ladies, the carriage is ready. Let’s depart quickly.”
Sak, dressed in a suit with a top hat, looked very stylish. A white handkerchief in the left chest pocket added a nice touch. His neatly combed hair, unlike usual, suited him very well.
“Sak, you look really cool today.”
“Thank you, Miss. Both of you look truly beautiful.”
Sak escorted Riley and Hila, guiding them into a luxurious carriage. The carriage carrying them smoothly left the mansion.
“Just in case, there are sometimes people who act mischievously. When that happens, don’t react at all and just stay silent. It’s better to maintain silence than to respond to whatever the other party says.”
As soon as they passed the entrance of the palace, Sak conveyed these words. He had advised Riley not to stay alone during the party and to remain quiet in awkward situations.
“What if they ignore you and provoke you?”
In response to Hila’s question, Sak smiled and replied, “Still, ignore them. If you consistently refrain from responding, the one causing the disturbance will be the one in an embarrassing situation.”
Sak emphasized the importance of not succumbing to the other party’s provocations. He suggested that it’s better to draw a line early, turn away if necessary, and if it doesn’t seem necessary, not to respond at all.
“Other than that, there’s nothing special to be careful of. Oh, and please avoid going outside the hall. The palace is extremely vast, and people tend to get lost more than you’d think.”
“When will the party end?”
Riley asked, and Sak checked his watch.
“If everything goes as planned, it should end before midnight. Ah, and Miss, you should enter with the Master. There’s a scheduled moment for your introduction. Meanwhile, Miss Hila, I will be escorting you.”
Hila, while disappointed that she had to be separated from Riley for a while, smiled when Sak mentioned escorting her.
Meanwhile, someone appeared in the distance.
With beautiful silver hair, wearing a neat suit topped with a long coat covering long legs, he was slowly approaching. His tall stature seemed even more imposing today.
“You’re here?”
Gibin, standing in front of Riley, scanned her slowly.
“Suits you well.”
“…You look good too, stylish.”
Gibin smiled and extended a gloved hand to Riley. She stared at his hand for a moment and then delicately placed her hand on top. He gently grasped her hand.
“Shall we go?”
“…Yes.”
Before Gibin’s birthday party, it was the moment when everyone would be introduced as the woman who would marry him.
Perhaps because of that, she felt nervous, as if she had become a bride about to get married. Although there was still a long way to go before the actual wedding, being officially introduced meant that there was no turning back.
Even though they hadn’t held the wedding ceremony yet, everyone would likely treat them as a married couple in a common-law relationship. From tomorrow onward, she would live not as a hidden woman but as an official wife.
Perhaps because of that, her emotions felt strange. She kept feeling tense, as if her body was stiffening.
Riley clenched and unclenched her remaining hand, making an effort to shake off the tension. She constantly reminded herself to stay focused.
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.”
