Author: Anonymous
Seeing Rhea’s incredulous expression, I smiled and explained, “I haven’t formed a bond with Ariz, so naturally I’m fine.”

She grabbed a dragon standing nearby and declared, “She’s cowardly and selfish. She won’t even bond with Ariz. She doesn’t deserve to be your young lady!”

The dragon clan member shook off her hand and sneered, “You humans truly love your schemes. You’re trying to drive a wedge between our young lady and us.”

The dragon clan is fiercely protective of its own. Once I married

  • Choosing Merman Over Dragon   Chapter 11

    Extra:The Sea God still remembered the first time he saw Anna. She stumbled upon his burial ground when she was fleeing in panic from a merman.Back then, Anna was battered and bloodied, utterly disheveled.Yet her eyes were dark and bright. When she saw Loire searching frantically for her, despair flashed through them, but the next instant, she drew her dagger, and a flame ignited in her eyes.Such was humanity, unyielding despite countless setbacks.The Sea God found himself drawn to Anna. He felt a pang of regret that this girl wasn’t one of his own. If she were… What heights might the sea clan reach under her leadership?Seeing Anna’s pitiful state stirred a long-dormant compassion within him.Besides, his time was running out. Watching Anna, he compelled Loire to swear an oath.Leaving behind a wisp of his divine soul attached to Anna, he watched as she stood beside Loire and helped guide the sea clan.She was exceptional. The Sea God reflected with satisfaction.Yet tr

  • Choosing Merman Over Dragon   Chapter 10

    I never saw Loire or my sister thereafter.Then again, it made sense. The merfolk dwelled in a remote stretch of the deep sea. Traveling there was no easy feat.Still, news of Loire’s failing his ascension trial reached my ears.He failed, and Rhea, bonded to him, suffered the backlash as well.This lifetime, Father still refused to give up on her. Yet, the merfolk were so remote that by the time he reached them, Rhea had already become mentally impaired. She returned to the human world with Father. Seeing her reduced to such a state, he could not bear to leave her alone. He stepped down as the leader of humankind and devoted himself entirely to caring for her.When Ariz finished telling me this, he studied my face cautiously.“Anny, you’re not upset, are you?”I shook my head. “I might have been before, but not anymore.”In the past, I truly would have been. For as long as I could remember, Father had favored Rhea. I’d believed that if I were exceptional enough, he might spa

  • Choosing Merman Over Dragon   Chapter 9

    The words sent shockwaves through the entire crowd, except for me.Seeing Ariz utterly disgusted, Rhea’s beautiful eyes filled with tears. Covering her face, she sobbed, “Ariz, do you believe in past lives and reincarnations? In my past life, when you faced your tribulation, I nearly lost my life because of your failure.“After being reborn, I didn’t know how to face you. I had no choice but to marry Loire. But I’ve always loved you.”Ariz cut her off quickly. “Stop… I feel sick. I don’t deserve this!”Rhea had laid bare the events of our past life, even embellishing her own role.In her version, I became the wicked woman who had hunted her down mercilessly and now had stolen her love.Ariz felt his brain couldn’t process it at all.“So my failure in the ascension trial was entirely because you formed a bond with me?!”My sister choked on her words. Ariz erupted in fury, “You fool! Look at your own strength! If you hadn’t bonded with me, my strength wouldn’t have fallen! Thank

  • Choosing Merman Over Dragon   Chapter 8

    At last, I understood.The reason I was standing here now was that the Sea God burned his own divine soul to grant me this chance at rebirth. He feared that even with a second chance, I might still end up married to Loire, so he allowed Rhea to be reborn as well.He knew that once reborn, Rhea would surely vie to marry Loire.As I grasped all this, gazing upon the Sea God’s benevolent face, I fell to my knees and wept, releasing all the grievances of my past life.Ariz knelt beside me, cradling me gently. The Sea God smiled with satisfaction.“You are my chosen heir. Alas, you are human.”“Sea God,” I said quickly. “Thank you for your grace. My husband is of the dragon clan. If you deem him worthy, I offer him the legacy!”Rhea sensed something amiss and shrieked, “How could she possibly be your chosen successor? Your heir should be Loire! She’s nothing but a bastard!”With a displeased flick of his sleeve, the Sea God sent her flying.Loire cowered, terrified, not daring

  • Choosing Merman Over Dragon   Chapter 7

    Coveting the empress’ throne, Rhea endured Loire’s violence without complaint.However, she soon realized he was nothing more than a hopeless cause with no ambition, and she did not even know how he had obtained the legacy.She shamelessly clung to me instead, irritating Ariz to the point where he nearly struck her.He held back from hitting her, but he did toss her out of the house.Finally sighing in relief, he said to me, “Your sister’s finally gone. Let’s pack up and hurry to claim the Sea God’s Legacy.“I can’t stand this godforsaken place any longer!”He looked deeply aggrieved. I quickly assured him, “The Sea God’s Legacy is about to emerge. I’ll take you to it, and once we’re done, we’ll return home.”Faint footsteps sounded outside the door. When they faded, Ariz and I exchanged a knowing glance.He burst into silent laughter. Seeing him so delighted, I couldn’t help smiling as well. We left the merfolk territory and dove deeper into the ocean.As expected, two litt

  • Choosing Merman Over Dragon   Chapter 6

    Ariz and I were strolling through the merfolk marketplace.It resembled a human market, except every stall glittered with treasures from the deep sea.Seeing how much I liked them, Ariz simply bought everything.As we wandered, we spotted Rhea and Loire nearby.His face was dark with displeasure. My sister looked worn down, casting him a careful, almost ingratiating glance.When they noticed us, Loire brought her over.The instant Rhea saw us, her demeanor shifted to haughty disdain. She curled her lips. “Some people are so foolish as to mistake trash for treasure,” she said coolly. “Young Lord Nithe, don’t say I didn’t warn you. My sister won’t be able to give you heirs.”Ariz’s expression instantly turned icy.Seeing this, Rhea felt a flicker of secret delights.“Anny and I will form a bond,” Ariz replied evenly. “She will share my eternal lifespan. Children will come in their own time. Don't bother yourself.“Besides, Anny possesses exceptional talent. Fortunately, I was t
