Synopsis

Beastman

Sweet Pampering

Fantasy Romance

Devotion

Superpowers

I saw a post while scrolling through my social media. [Adult male merman for sale. Hard to tame. Letting go for cheap.] I commented, [I'll take him.] The seller asked for ten thousand dollars and promised doorstep delivery. When I opened the package, the merman was nowhere near 160 pounds. He barely weighed over a hundred. His skin was sallow, his ribs visible beneath it, and his tail fin was rotting at the edges. I messaged the seller, [I want a refund.] The message failed to go through.

Chapter 1
I was furious. I immediately called the seller, ready to tear them apart.However, a cold, automated voice answered instead. "The number you have dialed does not exist."A deal like that was never meant to be clean. Black market transactions didn't come with customer service. I swallowed my anger and accepted the loss.I reopened the promotional video on my phone.The merman in the video was soaking in a clear, sparkling pool. His face was perfectly shaped and sharp, and his deep eyes seemed to pull you in. Water ran down his strong abs, catching the light.His lips were pressed together, his expression cold and distant. He looked unreal, like a beautiful man who had stepped out of a movie.Just looking at him felt worth the money.Then I glanced at the one lying in my apartment.He was painfully thin, skin stretched over bone. His spine jutted out so sharply it looked like it might tear through his skin. His scales were dull gray, without a hint of shine. A chunk of his tail

Chapter 2
"Are you gonna hit me?" Malcolm asked.He was as stubborn as a mule.What exactly had his previous owner done to him? He'd been treated that badly and still refused to back down. Instead, he snapped at everyone he saw.I ignored his little games and tossed him an ointment. "Apply this three times a day. Do it yourself."He stared at the white cream for a long moment, as if he'd never seen anything like it.Probably in his mind, everyone was a liar, and my gesture was likely some kind of manipulation. He likely thought that someday, I'd snap and lash out like his previous buyers.But he guessed wrong.I was poor and stingy. This deal was definitely a loss that made my chest ache, but I couldn't just stand by and watch him suffer.At worst, I could send him to a factory to work once he was better and make a little money back. Then I'd get a reliable beast partner and move on.When he still didn't move, I turned to leave. "I'm going to work."-The sky-high restaurant sat on th

Malcolm should eat more nutritious food.Getting leftover food from the kitchen wasn't difficult. Besides, most of the dishes were barely touched.Take that Crimson lobster, for example. The guests only nibbled the broccoli garnish and a bit of the meat. It barely looked any different.My coworker grinned, holding a takeout box."Grace, if you don't want it, I'm taking it home!"I hurriedly grabbed a plastic bag. "Share half with me!"By the time I finished work, it was exactly 11:30 p.m.The neon lights still flashed outside, but down in the sewers, rats poked their heads out.People like me always lived in corners the light didn't reach, like the rats in the gutter.Now I had Malcolm with me.We would probably be relying on each other for a long time.I packed the food and brought it home. When I saw Malcolm, I noted that most of his injuries had already healed.Mermen healed fast. If someone didn't deliberately keep reopening wounds, the scars wouldn't be this bad. I did

Chapter 4
"I have no memories, I have a terrible temper, and my previous owner said I'm the laziest merman in the world. She tried raising me for almost a year and couldn't tame me, so she passed me off to you. Shouldn't you continue tormenting me? Why are you being kind instead?"I smirked."I'll be far worse than she ever was. Once you heal and your tail splits into legs, I'll send you to the factory to work. All your wages go to me. You'll do all the housework, and you'll still have to go shopping and try on clothes with me."Malcolm blinked. "Isn't that... what a husband is supposed to do?"I pretended not to hear him.After a month of caring for Malcolm, things started to feel off.His injuries had long healed. His tail fin was slowly disappearing, and the shape of his legs was becoming clear.But the rest of him was restless.His skin had a strange pink flush, and his breathing was heavy, like he had just run a marathon. He even dragged out my old, worn T-shirts and bedsheets, pile

Malcolm pressed tightly against my back, his body burning hot. His breath hit the side of my neck, warm and wet, carrying a strange, salty-sweet smell of the sea. I held the suppressant in my hand, the sharp corner of the box digging into my palm."Grace... don't go." His voice was muffled, trembling with a hint of crying, like an abandoned little animal.My heart skipped a beat, and the grip on the box loosened. With a soft clatter, the five-hundred-dollar suppressant slipped from my hand and rolled into the shadows under the bed.Forget it. I'd been alone for too long. Might as well let myself indulge this once.I turned around and met his bright, fiery blue eyes. Gone was the usual teasing, cold look. Instead, they were full of need and trust. He leaned in carefully, his nose brushing against my cheek, as if checking something."You... you're not going to push me away?"I didn't speak. I raised a hand and gently stroked his sweat-damp hair. That simple touch seemed to flip a s

Malcolm stared at me blankly, as if he hadn't expected this reaction. After a long moment, he slowly slid off the bed. Still wrapped in the blanket, he sat at the table and picked up his fork.He ate slowly and quietly. I watched him and suddenly thought that spending ten thousand dollars to get him didn't feel like such a bad deal after all.When he finished his bowl, he licked his lips and murmured, "Better than the lobster."My chest fluttered a little at his words.Before I could even respond, my phone rang. It was my manager, Simon."Grace, where are you? We've got a VIP today, and the kitchen is swamped. Don't tell me you don't want this month's bonus!"I snapped back to reality and apologized. "I'm on my way, sir. Right now!"After hanging up, I hurried to change. Malcolm stood to the side, hesitating."Um...""What?" I asked, tying my shoes."Will you... come back?" His voice was soft, almost nervous.I looked up at him. He was twisting his fingers anxiously, like a

He was a snow fox beastman. Fluffy white ears peeked out from his perfectly styled black hair, swaying slightly as he moved.He pointed to the dishes on my tray. "I didn't order this." I quickly checked the order. "Sir, this is definitely for table eight.""I said it's not, so it's not." His smile didn't change, but his tone brooked no argument. "Replace it."This was pure nitpicking. I'd dealt with guests like this before. They were usually in a bad mood or just showing off. I gripped the tray so hard my nails dug into my palms."Of course, sir. I'll replace it right away." I forced a professional smile and turned to leave."Wait." He called after me again. "What's your name?""It's on my name tag," I replied, annoyed.He chuckled lightly, studying me with interest. "Quite the temper. How does someone like you end up in the kitchen instead of the front of house?"His words stung, and I clenched my fists and told myself to hold it in. For the job, for the rent, for the person

When Malcolm saw I was silent, he grew even more nervous. "I saw the newspaper," he murmured, "you said you'd send me to the factory... I thought, maybe if I could clean the house, be a little useful, you might then..."He didn't finish the sentence, but I already understood.My chest tightened, a mix of ache and warmth. So all of this was him acting out of fear that I would abandon him.I tossed the fish and shrimp I was holding onto the only dry shoe cabinet, then crouched in front of him."Malcolm."He jerked his head up, eyes glistening red.I looked him straight in the eyes, speaking slowly and clearly, "Tell me, which is more fun—the factory assembly line, or the bathtub at home?"He froze, clearly not following my thought."Are you stupid?" I poked his forehead, exasperated. "You're the treasure I bought for ten thousand dollars. Do you think I'd really send you to do backbreaking work? That job ad wasn't for you, it was for me!"He blinked, confused. "For you?""Yes

That ten thousand dollars was starting to feel like a crazy expense."Stop wiping," I said, my voice a little hoarse. "It won't dry completely. Let it air dry overnight."Malcolm froze and looked up at me. Stray damp strands of hair clung to his forehead, making him look a little messy and a little sexy."I'll cook tomorrow," he announced.I raised an eyebrow. "Do you know how to?"He shook his head, then nodded again. "I can learn from my phone."I glanced at that ancient phone, the kind that could barely display a single pixel without glitching, and seriously doubted it.-The next morning, I woke up choking on the smell of something seriously burned.I rushed into the kitchen and saw Malcolm standing helplessly in front of a pot belching black smoke. Two pieces of charred bread sat on the counter, just barely recognizable as toast."Are you... brewing potions?" I exclaimed, rushing to turn off the stove and switch on the exhaust fan.He turned to me, a smudge of soot on h

The snow fox beastman moved too close, and the sharp scent of expensive cologne mixed with the animalistic scent on him made my stomach twist."Whether I like it or not is none of your business. Step aside." My patience was wearing thin."If you want, I can help you quit your job immediately and give you a better life." He reached for my wrist, his voice soft but insistent. "All you have to do is come with me—"He didn't finish.The door clicked from the inside and swung open.Malcolm stood in the doorway, still wearing the apron with Winnie the Pooh on it, holding a spatula in his hand.He didn't look at me or the bouquet. His eyes were locked on the snow fox reaching for me. That gaze was exactly the same as when I first brought him home—dark, cold, like the icy currents of the deep sea, without a trace of warmth.The snow fox froze, clearly caught off guard. He hadn't expected anyone else inside, let alone a man radiating such an intense presence."Who are you?" the snow fox
