After Marrying the Villain, the Mermaid No Longer Wants to Work Hard

Jiang Yuan* transformed into a rare and precious little gold-colored mermaid, lovingly cared for in a mermaid sanctuary. Jiang Yuan sighed, “Overworked to death in my previous life, and now living like a salted fish in this one—it’s worth it.” His days were spent eating, drinking, and sleeping peacefully, but his tranquility was short-lived when he was assigned to serve Imperial Admiral Qi Yuan*. “Rumour has it that Admiral Qi is violent and ruthless, killing without blinking an eye, having tortured three mermaids to death!” Jiang Yuan obediently lies down: You can’t fight fate, better to lie flattake it easy.jpg At their first meeting, Qi Yuan indifferently said: “Just throw it anywhere, just don’t let it get in my way.” Jiang Yuan: What? No need to work? Is there such a good thing!? At their second meeting, Qi Yuan coldly remarked, “Mermaids are the most opportunistic and worthless creatures.” Jiang Yuan nervously agreed, “Ah, yes, yes, yes.” During their third meeting, Jiang Yuan presented exquisite pastries from the kitchen in one hand and sour plum soup from the butler in the other. His golden scales shimmered beautifully, and his light-colored tailfin swayed gracefully in the water. Passing by, Qi Yuan was momentarily captivated by the golden light. “…”Jiang Yuan was puzzled. “?” Their eyes met, and Jiang Yuan hesitantly asked, “Want to soak together?” Seeing through Jiang Yuan’s polite invitation, Qi Yuan sneered, “Fine.” Jiang Yuan was taken aback. “!” And so it went, meeting after meeting… Jiang Yuan soon realised his short-term meal ticket had a dual personality.During the day, Qi Yuan was indifferent to Jiang Yuan. But at night, he would lean on Jiang Yuan’s shoulder, engaging in tea speak. “Someone insulted me today. It was really hurtful. Only a kiss can make it better.” The next morning, Jiang Yuan, holding his waist, retorted angrily, “Get lost, men are all scum.” Qi Yuan simply nodded. “Ah, yes, yes, yes.” * Jiang Yuan faced two major obstacles on his path to lazily living like a salted fish:His boyfriend was reborn, armed with a revenge script. And Qi Yuan possessed a strong waist and great strength. Author’s Note: [Important] This is mostly about daily life—a sweet, lighthearted story.
