    Summary

    The village Hua Cheng lives in has a peculiar legend associated with it; even though the sea was forever tepid and calm, you were never to swim in its waters, lest you be pulled down and drowned by one of the mermaids who patrol its depths. When he was a child, Hua Cheng almost met that same end.

    Intending to slay one of the beasts and claim the bounty set on its head, Hua Cheng soon finds himself hopelessly drawn to the wanted merman and, in time, begins to uncover the true history behind his village and the curse which plagues it.

    When Hua Cheng loses all his memories of Xie Lian, afflicted by a tricky curse, there’s only one way to get them back: Xie Lian has to get Hua Cheng to kiss him.

    “Greetings, Chengzhu,” Xie Lian said. “Apologies for the intrusion. Actually, I’ve been gifted to you by the heavens as a…”
    His voice caught.
    “I mean, to—”
    Xie Lian’s cheeks suddenly felt hot, and his palms grew damp under the rope binding his arms together. Beneath Hua Cheng’s piercing stare from above, he lost his cool.
    “As your,” he stammered. “Um, as—well—if you want, I’ve been sent to you as—I’m here to be your—”
