This is very cute and heart-wrenching at the same time. Don't get me wrong, the story is a HE and a proper happy ending at that. It's just that their love is too tragic and moving. From the very start, ML only loves FL even though he didn't remember her in his first life.FL is the kind of woman I aspire to be. She's shameless towards ML while wearing a pure and naive appearance. Her favorite thing to do is just tease the innocent ML into revealing his tail that she further 'bullies' (wink wink). She knows how to use her cards right and is extremely possessive and protective of ML. She may seem so smug most of the time, but she's also pitifully tragic as she loves ML with all of her heart, and some people and situations just like to try and tear them apart.ML of course is the most tragic character in this novel. Spoiler
Due to some evil people's schemings, he was branded as a harbinger of misfortune since he was born. He is also half-mermaid and couldn't walk nor use his tail due to him being slowly blackened from a young age. He was bullied for being lame, isolated, wasn't given any hint of love, and was treated like a monster. He grew inferior and savage, not letting anyone near him. Of course, FL won't listen and is still stuck by his side every day.
[collapse] To him, FL was like the moonlight and he was just a muddy fish in the gutter. He just wanted to look and not dare to reach out, but FL was the first one to reach out to him and love him. It wasn't just because FL was the first one to save him, it was a lot more than just that. Knowing that FL would always love him and love only him, he got more confidence and worked hard to deserve FL and be by her side openly.I also really loved the side chapters where ML grew up with love and had his loving family with him, and FL became his cat girlfriend that can transform into a human. I really like how despite all the heart-breaking twists and turns, the happy ending was just peak satisfaction.
