My Merman Is the Sea King

The Story

A crippled man named An Nuo holds a merman who mocks his disability with cruel scorn. Seeking a new companion, he purchases Han Che, a damaged merman sold at a discount, who begs to be taken home. An Nuo exchanges his original captive for ten gold coins, unaware that his new mate is the Sea King he once rescued. The powerful ruler returns not for revenge, but to claim the person who saved him, creating a bond far deeper than the transaction suggests.
