My Merman Brother – Guan Jinlin

The story takes place in the Daqin Kingdom, Nanzhao Kingdom and Beiqi Kingdom during the period of the three kingdoms. National Division Lin Weixu made a great contribution to Daqin Kingdom by leading her troops to take down Nanzhao Kingdom. After Nanzhao Kingdom was destroyed, Prince Fu Su was also captured by Da Li Si and escaped from there.

One day, Lin Weixu and her attendant A Jiu were walking on the street when they suddenly saw people from Da Li Si chasing Fu Su. Fu Su was covered by a fishing net and surrounded by people from Da Li Si who kept beating him. One of them even said that this little merman should be played with and that he dared to escape. Today he must be taught a lesson.

Seeing them beating him like this, Lin Weixu couldn’t bear it and went up to fight with A Jiu. When people from Da Li Si saw them fighting back, they asked about their origins. A Jiu then revealed the name of the National Division’s Mansion. When they heard that they were from the National Division’s Mansion, those people from Da Li Si quickly fled.

Lin Weixu returned to her mansion and saw a dagger on the table. She couldn’t help but think of the scene where her master was killed. She was holding the dagger in a daze when A Jiu came over to report that the little merman they saved had followed them to the mansion. Lin Weixu looked at the merman’s beautiful face that brought disaster to the country and his blue eyes like the sea, so she let him stay.

Lin Weixu had someone take Fu Su to take a bath and change his clothes. After the bath, Fu Su became even more handsome. Lin Weixu had the kitchen make him some dishes and Fu Su ate them ravenously. Lin Weixu smiled and asked him if it was true that merfolk were not afraid of poison. Fu Su thought that Lin Weixu had poisoned his food and quickly put down his chopsticks. Lin Weixu quickly explained that she didn’t poison his food.

Lin Weixu took out the dagger made from the fish fins of the merfolk and asked Fu Su if he recognized it. Fu Su looked at the dagger and shook his head. After Fu Su finished his meal, Lin Weixu held up his chin and was admiring him when his senior brother Gu Danmo suddenly walked in. Seeing this scene before him, Gu Danmo suddenly became jealous and left in anger. Lin Weixu chased after him.

Lin Weixu told Gu Danmo that she kept Fu Su only to investigate who killed her master, but Gu Danmo didn’t believe that her purpose was so simple. He suggested taking Fu Su away for questioning, but Lin Weixu refused resolutely. The two were arguing when A Jiu suddenly came to report that the young master and Fu Su were fighting.

Lin Weixu apologized to Danmo after hearing A Jiu’s report and left. When she returned home, she saw her younger brother Xiao Linzi fighting with Fu Su. The room was a mess after the fight. When Lin Weixu arrived, Xiao Linzi asked his sister angrily when she started keeping a little white face in her room and if Danmo knew about it. He also reminded his sister that he only recognized Danmo as his brother-in-law. Lin Weixu asked A Jiu to take Xiao Linzi away.

Lin Weixu took Fu Su to take a bath and saw him sitting in the bathtub. Lin Weixu curiously asked him where his fins were since all merpeople have fins. Fu Su replied that his fins could only be used in the ocean. He also asked Lin Weixu curiously why she took him in. Lin Weixu replied frankly that it was because she liked him.

Lin Weixu also found out that Fu Su’s martial arts were not bad when he fought with Xiao Linzi. She asked Fu Su curiously why he didn’t fight back when people from Da Li Si were beating him up, but Fu Su didn’t answer this question.

While they were talking, Lin Weixu suddenly felt dizzy. Fu Su found out that Lin Weixu was poisoned by the water-forbidden curse because merpeople’s blood can cure this kind of poison. So Fu Su bit his own lip and suddenly kissed Lin Weixu.

After being kissed by Fu Su, Lin Weixu also felt confused and infatuated. As a result, she had a relationship with him. The next morning, Lin Weixu found Fu Su lying in the same bed as her, smiling at her. She pushed him away. Fu Su asked Lin Weixu when they would hold their wedding. Lin Weixu told him not to daydream because she wouldn’t be responsible for him. Fu Su then asked Lin Weixu if she knew that he had been poisoned by the Water Forbidden Curse and explained to her that the Water Forbidden Curse was a cold poison that would flare up when it encountered cold water, and that their mermaid blood could relieve this poison. Lin Weixu looked at Fu Su displeasedly after hearing this. She thought that Fu Su was trying to tell her that she couldn’t live without him in this life. Fu Su quickly declared to her that he didn’t mean it and told Lin Weixu that the elders of Nanzhao Kingdom might know how to solve this poison.

Lin Weixu came to burn incense for her master. Gu Danmo looked at her displeasedly and found out that she had even forgotten her master’s death anniversary. Lin Weixu quickly explained to him that the mermaid’s mouth was a bit hard and that she had interrogated him. Speaking of this, she couldn’t help but think of the scene where Fu Su kissed her. Gu Danmo wanted to take Fu Su away for interrogation, but Lin Weixu still refused.

A curious woman asked Xiao Linzi how he got the scar on his face. Xiao Linzi explained to her that the prince of Nanzhao Kingdom dared to seduce Lin Weixu, so he couldn’t help but teach him a lesson.

The reason why Fu Su came to the National Division was that he saw the dagger in Lin Weixu’s hand. That dagger belonged to his mother. He believed that staying in the National Division would definitely help him find out about his mother’s whereabouts. When Lin Weixu was not around, he began to search around the National Division.

Fu Su saw A Jiu leading people and hurriedly walking towards the hall of the National Division. So he curiously followed and saw that people from Da Li Si had come to make trouble. The two sides argued fiercely. Fu Su suddenly walked in and lightly pushed with both palms. The people from Da Li Si fell to the ground. Fu Su stepped on the chest of the Da Li Si’s chief and warned him that if he dared to cause trouble at the National Division again, he would not be polite.

The chief of Da Li Si did not expect Fu Su to be so powerful, so he had to leave with his people in a hurry. But he couldn’t stand this, so he went to the emperor to complain. He said that Lin Weixu was keeping captives privately without permission. The emperor summoned Lin Weixu to the hall and was about to make trouble. Lin Weixu reminded the emperor whether he still remembered what he had promised her before destroying Nanzhao Kingdom. After hearing what Lin Weixu said, the emperor asked her what reward she wanted. Lin Weixu told him that she wanted Fu Su as her reward, and the emperor readily agreed.

Lin Weixu called Fu Su to her room after she returned and whipped him with a leather whip while warning him not to use magic without permission again. Fu Su was not happy with this and said that he would not sit idly by if they were not good to Lin Weixu. He then bit Lin Weixu’s hand.

Fu Su proposed a condition to Lin Weixu that there could be no other men in her eyes. After hearing about his condition, Lin Weixu smiled and said that it would depend on his ability. She did not punish Fu Su again after that and promoted him to be the guard captain of the National Division.

Gu Danmo arrived at the National Division’s mansion. When Fu Su came to stop him, Gu Danmo told him not to get carried away and not to think that Lin Weixu really liked him. The reason Lin Weixu kept him in the mansion was only because he looked like someone else. Fu Su didn’t understand what he meant, so he went to see the painting that Gu Danmo was talking about.

Gu Danmo was staring blankly at the painting of the old National Division when Lin Weixu suddenly walked in. Before Fu Su could ask anything, Lin Weixu angrily asked him who let him come here and then had someone lock him up in a firewood room.

Xiao Linzi came to the firewood room to tease Fu Su, saying that he was just a pet dog raised by his sister. As he spoke, he suddenly couldn’t help laughing and kept laughing. He realized that Fu Su had cast a spell on him.

Gu Danmo called his subordinates to him and whispered a few words in his ear. The next day, news spread that Li An from Dali City had been killed. Because the wound on Li An’s neck was formed by the fins of a mermaid, the people from Da Li Si suspected that Fu Su was responsible for this and came to the National Division’s mansion to force Lin Weixu to hand over Fu Su.

Lin Weixu also suspected that Fu Su was responsible when he saw Li An’s wound. She didn’t know how to face the people from Da Li Si. Fu Su suddenly stood in front of her wearing shackles and handcuffs. Lin Weixu had an idea and told the people from Da Li Si that Fu Su had been imprisoned in her room all along and couldn’t have gone out to kill anyone. When the people from Da Li Si were still skeptical, she put her hand into Fu Su’s clothes and asked them if they wanted to hear about his relationship with her.

Lin Weixu’s words stunned everyone present. The people from Da Li Si wanted to scold her for being shameless, but given their previous lesson, they didn’t dare to speak up. After the people from Da Li Si left, Lin Weixu questioned Fu Su about why he killed Li An because she didn’t believe that the shackles and handcuffs could hold him down. But Fu Su denied it and Lin Weixu didn’t let him explain.

Lin Weixu knew that someone was targeting Fu Su and decided to drive him away to avoid him getting hurt. Fu Su reminded her in a hurry not to forget that her poison had not been cured yet. Lin Weixu heartlessly told him that he didn’t need to worry about it and ordered someone to drive him out. Fu Su stubbornly stood up and said he could walk. After speaking, he left the National Division’s mansion.

Watching Fu Su’s back as he left, Lin Weixu couldn’t help feeling a little sad. Xiao Linzi came to see Lin Weixu and saw her staring at the book written by Gu Danmo. He teased his sister that she had just sent away her new lover and was already thinking about her old love. Lin Weixu looked at his mouth that was begging to be punched and told him to get lost.

At night, Lin Weixu tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep as she kept thinking about the scenes of her and Fu Su together. Suddenly there was a commotion outside the door and she quickly got up and went out.

After leaving the National Division’s mansion, Fu Su walked on the street like a headless fly. He felt more and more uncomfortable and couldn’t help but return to the National Division’s mansion. A Jiu was about to scold him when Lin Weixu suddenly walked over and asked A Jiu to leave.

Fu Su saw Lin Weixu coming and hugged her like a fish seeing water. Lin Weixu saw that he looked pale and was wondering what was going on when Fu Su suddenly hugged her and kissed her like the first time he detoxified her.

After Fu Su kissed Lin Weixu, he carried her to bed. The next day, Lin Weixu woke up and looked at Fu Su in front of her. She couldn’t help but feel a little excited again. But when Fu Su saw Lin Weixu, he seemed as if nothing had happened and still had a serious face. Lin Weixu reminded him that they had done that last night and asked why he wasn’t happy. Fu Su replied that even if they did that, it didn’t matter since Lin Weixu had said she wouldn’t be responsible for him. Lin Weixu whispered in his ear that she was very satisfied with his performance last night. When Fu Su learned that he could stay, he was very happy.

Lin Weixu looked up some information and found out why Fu Su lost his mind last night. It turned out that according to the information she found, mermaids go into heat at 18 years old and feel weak on the night of the full moon. Once they mate with someone, they will only recognize that person for the rest of their life. Lin Weixu was reading it with great interest when Fu Su suddenly walked in and she felt embarrassed and closed the book.

Fu Su brought some delicious food to Lin Weixu and told her that he loved human food very much. But since his mother disappeared, no one has cooked for him anymore. When his mother left him, he had just started to remember things and he didn’t even remember what his mother looked like.

Lin Weixu asked Fu Su if his mother’s name was Yan Chu. When Lin Weixu said his mother’s name, Fu Su grabbed her hand excitedly and asked if she had seen his mother. Lin Weixu told him that she had never seen his mother and that she only knew the name Yan Chu from a book. Fu Su was very disappointed when he heard this. He told Lin Weixu that if there was any news about his mother in the future, she must inform him as soon as possible. When Lin Weixu promised him, he kissed her again happily. Lin Weixu hugged him and looked at him with pity. At this moment, a dark shadow flashed in front of Lin Weixu’s door.

That dark shadow was Tan Mo. Tan Mo found out that Fu Su was still in Lin Weixu’s mansion and scolded the servants severely. After the servants left, he remembered what his master had said to him. He had told his master that he wanted to marry Lin Weixu, but his master thought they were not suitable for each other. When he asked why, his master told him it was because he had too much ambition but not enough courage.

Lin Weixu requested the emperor to thoroughly investigate the case of her master’s murder. But the emperor turned around and wanted to investigate the case of Li An’s murder instead. Although it was not necessarily Fu Su who did it, as a mermaid, Fu Su was definitely suspected of being involved in Li An’s murder. Lin Weixu told the emperor angrily that they should investigate both cases together. Tan Mo walked on the street and felt someone following him. When he turned around, he was knocked unconscious by someone.
