A view of the moon

Since I was born, I have been regarded as unknown by my people.

The merfolk are so focused on pure blood, they call me a mongrel.

I was discarded.

Luckily, merfolk are naturally tough. I was able to survive in the depths of the ocean.

At this time, I don't hate them, I only blame myself for my bad life.

I want to regain the recognition of my clan and return to my clan through my superior hunting ability.

On the day I became an adult, I returned to my clan as I wished.

But the reality is different from what I imagined.

I thought that as long as I caught enough prey, one day the people would approve of me.

But my companions who went out to sea with me to hunt joined forces to snatch my prey, and mocked me wantonly. Calling me a mongrel.

Even wanted to bully me because of my appearance.

I can't stand fighting them, but they are so numerous that I can't beat them.

When I got back to the territory, they all changed their tune and said that not only did I not catch my prey, but I fought them out of jealousy.

Obviously this is not the case, I am anxious to defend myself, but no one believes me, no one believes.

Even if I'm right, even if they know the truth.

So much so that I hated them.

I hate their indifference, I hate their inaction.

I'm going to take revenge on them.

Hatred took root in my heart, and I suffered day by day.

Until that day, a human girl broke into the territory.

The people cheered for the arrival of the wife.

I also secretly hatched a plan of revenge in my mind.

I deliberately pretended to be bullied by my clan and pretended to be pitiful.

My deceitful appearance and miserable background soon aroused her distress and pity.

The wife has an extremely noble status in the hearts of the mermaids, comparable to gods.

If the wife is pregnant with the heir of the chief and dies, then the whole family must be buried for it.

I meant to trick her into helping and bringing her back to shore, to the human world.

Then, when she is truly transformed into his wife, kill her in front of her people and let them all die.

But when I saw her in her room where she was imprisoned, I hesitated.

No one has ever been so gentle with me.

No one has ever cared if I hurt or not, whether I have a name or not.

She named me "Ji Yue", and she said, 'May I be like the bright moon after the rain, even if I have suffered many setbacks, I will still have good intentions and light.'

But what she didn't know was that my heart was already as muddy and filthy as a wildflower rotting on the ground, and even on a blue day, I could no longer embrace the sun.

But I still like the name very much, just because it was the first person who cared about me to choose it for me, just because she chose it for me.

It hurts a lot when she chops the blood in her heart, but it doesn't hurt so much when she thinks about her smile when she returns to the human world.

I want her to go back normally, not as a "monster".

I don't regret all this.

I'm satisfied.

I'm grateful.

Mulberry blue perspective

When Nightview asked me if I would like to go to the human world for her, I hesitated.

At that time, I didn't know that we would never meet again after this miss.

I have the responsibility of the whole people on my shoulders, and I can't let go of them.

I'll admit I'm a coward.

But at the moment when Wantang was truly transformed into a wife's land, I couldn't bear it.

I can't accept other merfolk to share with me.

I want to take Wantang to a place where there are only the two of us and stay together for the rest of our lives.

But Wantang ran away, and she didn't want me anymore.

When I saw Wantang walking resolutely towards her companion, unwilling to give me even a look, I understood it all.

Death of the heart is equivalent to death of the body.

At that moment, I thought: If there is an afterlife, I will definitely go to you with determination.
