The Obsessive Villain’s Plan Backfires in the Merfolk Novel

Lu Yunwan read a wish-fulfillment novel where an imperial prince is framed by the villain, subjected to inhuman torment, and then awakens the top-tier merman bloodline. He reclaims the throne, exacts revenge, and unifies the interstellar realm.

After closing the book, he transmigrates straight into it.

As the villain.

The kind who has already usurped power, seized the state, and thrown the protagonist into prison.

Lu Yunwan: ???

Facing the protagonist, covered in wounds and eyes brimming with hatred, and thinking of his own inevitable ending of execution by extreme punishment, Lu Yunwan makes a decision—

Pretend!

Pretend to be a sickly obsessive. Pretend to be lovelorn, driven mad by unattainable love.

Inside the prison, the Regent who holds power over the interstellar realm, beautiful and dangerous like a poppy, leans down and whispers softly,

“Now, you only have me.”

— “If you cannot love me forever, then hate me forever.”

— “Hide beneath my wings. I will offer you the Empire, and my life along with it.”

Regent Lu Yunwan sacrifices himself to carve the rot from the decaying Empire, only to be killed by the old aristocracy.

As he sinks into the deep sea, he says,

“As promised, I return the Empire to Your Highness, and offer my life to you.”

This was his long-planned escape through tragic death.

However…

In the abyss below, a silver-haired merman embraces his blood-stained body, cold for far too long, presses a gentle kiss to his forehead, and murmurs softly,

“Now, you only have me.”

He was only pretending to be a yandere. How did he end up raising a real yandere?!

During the merfolk’s 『migratory period』, desire dominates all reason.

Lu Yunwan firmly believes the protagonist is cold-blooded, rational, and capable of suppressing instinct.

Until an icy tail fin coils around him.

Only then does Lu Yunwan realize—

How could there be any exceptions?

He was just even better at pretending than Lu Yunwan himself!
