After a merman rescues a drowning crime boss and gifts him a pearl, repeated attempts to reclaim it are mistaken for seduction, deepening into genuine love.

Mafia leader Hadrian nearly drowns until merman Marinus pulls him ashore and presses a luminous pearl into his hand, leading to an intimate night between the two men.

Marinus returns repeatedly to recover his irreplaceable gem, yet Hadrian interprets every approach as deliberate courtship, allowing fascination to harden into real affection while the merman remains focused on the pearl.

Key points

  • Hadrian rules the criminal underworld before the near-drowning incident.
  • Marinus is a merman who saves Hadrian and gives him a pearl.
