Chapter 1

Celeste's Point-of-ViewJustin Gunter pinned Ruby Lister against the reef, making love as if they were entirely alone. Ruby's moans came in waves, each louder than the last.They were still the scumbag and slut who had no shame whatsoever, just like in my past life.It was then that Justin's mother, Diana Harrison, dropped to her knees before me and begged. "I'm begging you, Ms. Merrow! Justin is my one and only son! You have to save him! If this disease of his can't be cured, his whole life will be ruined, Ms. Merrow!" It could be said that the Gunter family had consulted numerous leading specialists to treat Justin's cutaneous desiccation disorder, but no one had been able to cure him, which ultimately led them to seek me out.Justin suddenly came rushing toward me before I could even say anything, radiating a chilling presence. Ruby followed him, her face still bearing a lingering flush."You don't have to beg her, Mom! She's nothing but a fraud!" Justin barked as he pulled D

Chapter 2

I sighed helplessly, no longer wanting to waste my breath on them. Justin had blamed me in my past life for using my singing to entice him and for making Ruby contract a strange illness from anger. I had tried repeatedly to explain that there was something highly suspicious about Ruby's condition, but Justin refused to listen to me. He would inflict another wound on my tail whenever he saw Ruby weep.I explained that my marriage to him was out of love, yet he remained certain that I was merely greedy for the Gunter family's wealth.I withdrew my hand at that thought and instantly jumped into the sea. I could hear Diana crying out in despair as the water engulfed me.In the end, Diana clung to the last shred of hope and relocated to the island.I was resting upon a coral reef when I encountered Justin again. He regarded me coldly and asked mockingly, "Didn't you claim that my business had nothing to do with you? Why did you return to this part of the ocean, then? "You ought to k

Chapter 3

Diana sobbed uncontrollably and banged her head hard against the reef, causing blood to flow down along her forehead and quickly smearing her whole face. "I'll personally guarantee the protection of these waters as long as you save him, and I'll never allow anyone to bring harm to the merfolk, Ms. Merrow!"I was slightly moved as I caught sight of her graying hair and bloodied forehead, so I said, "I'll save him this time for your sake, but this is a one-time exception. After this, I will no longer care about his life or death."Diana bowed her head repeatedly, her eyes filled with immense gratitude.I saw Ruby bound tightly to a pillar as I entered the Gunter residence.Upon spotting Ruby, Diana flew into a rage. She grabbed a nearby whip and, without saying anything, struck her with it. "You shameless tramp! Justin was doing perfectly fine! You're the one who shamelessly entangled yourself with him and wore his body out, causing him to fall into a coma!"Ruby kept shaking her

Chapter 4

Justin sneered, raising his foot and kicking me hard. "You ought to stop trying to fool me with that nonsense of yours! I don't know if I'll get what's coming to me, but every bit of pain you're feeling right now is retribution for what you did to Ruby!"He coldly commanded the bodyguards, "Go rip the scales off her body, one after another."I could feel the cold iron tongs clamping onto my scales as they ripped them off, sending searing pain through my whole body. I grew lightheaded from the agony as I constantly went in and out of consciousness.Justin remained unmoved as he watched me struggle in agony.Ruby simply took out her phone and started a live stream right in front of me. "Do you guys see this? Here's the mermaid who actually tried to seduce my husband! She's going to be taught a lesson today!" In that instant, the viewer count on the live stream skyrocketed, with the comments section filled up with morbidly curious remarks."I never thought a mermaid would be a home

Chapter 5

Diana's face twisted in horror before letting out a sharp, agonizing cry.Ruby shrieked and tried to rush toward Justin, but Diana shoved her away. "You'd better not lay a finger on him!"Diana gazed at Justin, who was sprawled on the ground, his skin continually splitting apart and oozing blood. She forced herself to stay conscious, and since she didn't dare to approach Justin, she frantically ordered someone to fetch a doctor. She then shakily bent down to help me up from the ground. "I know Justin made a terrible mistake and hurt you badly, but please save him again, Ms. Merrow!"She spoke in a trembling tone as she pleaded, "I'm willing to give up my own life in exchange as long as he can be saved!"I shook my head weakly and pointed to the wound bleeding heavily on my chest. "I only have one Sacred Heart Scale left. I will die if I give it up to save his life."Thankfully, my Sacred Heart Scale was located near my heart and was fairly well hidden; otherwise, I would have ha

Chapter 6

Diana broke down crying the moment I finished speaking. She looked as if she had aged ten years in that instant. She still refused to give up, though, as rumor had it that she spent a fortune searching everywhere for specialists and experts from all over, doing anything she could just to keep Justin alive. I was still recovering from my injuries when quite a few so-called experts went to check on Justin. They all shook their heads and walked away right after examining him, saying, "Mr. Gunter's affliction is far too unusual, so there's nothing I can do about this. You should look for someone else, Ms. Harrison."There were even some who stated bluntly, "You should just prepare for his funeral since he's beyond saving."Diana remained unaware that Justin's illness progressed so rapidly due to two reasons. His close contact with Ruby accelerated it, but more importantly, once he possessed my Sacred Heart Scale, any malice he harbored against me was bound to backfire on him.Diana w

Chapter 7

Third-Person's Point-of-ViewIt was a month later when Justin slowly regained consciousness. It felt as though countless needles were piercing his skin over and over again. He lowered his head in terror and discovered that the regions where scabs had originally formed were now exposed pale pink flesh, which was shockingly hideous.He stared in disbelief as Diana walked in, carrying a bowl of medicine, her hair already turned half-white. He asked hoarsely, "How did this happen, Mom? Where is Ruby?"Diana looked delighted after seeing him awake, but her expression quickly hardened. "How could you still be hung up on that wicked woman?"She slammed the bowl of medicine down on the bedside table and snapped, "Do you see the state you're in, Justin? Do you even realize what exactly you went through for that woman?"She recounted all the information her people had gathered about Ruby before saying, "You treated her like a treasure, yet you almost killed Celeste for a worthless person

Chapter 8

Celeste's Point-of-ViewJustin headed directly for the reef shallows, where I frequently took refuge. He stood atop the rocks and yelled out toward the deep sea. "Please come out, Celeste! I know I've made a mistake! I really know I've messed up now! Please just come out and see me, Celeste!"I heard the noise from within the sea and suddenly found it utterly ridiculous. I had combed the deep sea for rare treasures to save him in my past life, only for him to treat them with utter contempt. I focused entirely on escaping him in this life, yet here he was, chasing me back to the deep sea.I never appeared, no matter how agonizing his cries became, though. In the end, only the sound of waves crashing against the shore could be heard across the entire surface of the sea.Justin was sweating profusely as the seawater soaked into the cuts on his skin. He still refused to budge, though, standing completely still as he called out my name repeatedly.It was already nightfall, and the t

Chapter 9

Upon hearing what I said, Justin simply fell to his knees in front of me. "I never got together with Ruby in my past life since she committed suicide not long after you died. She left a suicide note saying she couldn't bear the pain of her illness before taking her own life. "I always thought her illness was your fault, so after I was reborn, I vented all my hatred on you—never imagining that everything was actually because of her."He looked remorseful as he burst into tears. "I've committed far too many mistakes in my past and present life. I'm willing to accept any punishment you give me as long as it eases your anger, Celeste..."I merely shook my head and said, "You ought to know that none of what you're saying matters to me anymore. You should go back and stop coming here, Justin."I dove right into the sea after saying that.Justin stared in the direction where I had disappeared, completely distraught as he suddenly collapsed. He stayed on his hands and knees on the reef a
