In "Dumped the Billionaire, Became a Mermaid Icon," Marina was the devoted, quiet wife of the powerful CEO, Leo Vance. For three years, she endured his cold indifference and his family’s mockery, only to be tossed aside when his "true love" returned from abroad. Heartbroken, Marina returns to her roots—as the legendary "Mermaid of the deep," a world-class free-diver and the secret face behind a multi-billion dollar ocean conservation brand. When she re-emerges as a stunning, independent icon, she captures the world's heart—and Leo’s obsession. But as he tries to win back the "plain" wife he discarded, he realizes that the woman he once owned is now a force of nature he can never tame.

Short filmTranscript
00:00To become a human, you have to pay a price.
00:18No! Susie! My little girl!
00:25I gave up my tail.
00:30Her legs that could walk on land.
00:41And got him into me.
00:45Ten years. I've forgotten how to walk a runway.
00:49But I remember.
00:51He loves fish.
00:54Madam, sir insisted you open it yourself.
01:02Surprise!
01:03Happy 10th anniversary.
01:08Maybe I didn't choose wrong after all.
01:12A 50 carry diamond ring, a luxury villa, and a yacht with your mermaid statue.
01:17From sir. Total value, 300 million.
01:20Thank you. I love you, babe.
01:26Sorry. Emergency. I have to go.
01:28Jason, tonight is the best time. We need to-
01:32I know.
01:33Wait for me.
01:34I know.
01:36Julie, I have to go.
01:38Come on.
01:38Come on.
01:42Come on.
01:47Come on.
01:49Hubby, I've been calling you for hours...
01:52Finally.
01:58You just love getting caught at my front door, don't you?
02:01You deserve it.
02:03But I just like you, this kind of little beauty who loves excitement.
02:17Jason!
02:25It's not what you think, Susie.
02:29You okay?
02:47Caught you.
02:48So, all that, it all belongs to her now?
02:52Jason, for your sake, I betrayed my fellow tribesmen and finally left the beloved runway.
02:57Ten years in that kitchen.
02:58How about you?
02:59You are with her now.
03:02Mommy!
03:04Daddy!
03:05Mommy!
03:06You have a kid together?
03:07Who told you to bring Arthur here?
03:09I'm so sorry, sir.
03:10The young master insisted.
03:14How old are you?
03:15Nine.
03:16We've been married ten years, and you have a nine-year-old son?
03:19You've been lying to me from the start!
03:21Susie, let me explain.
03:23Cindy, we go way back.
03:25High school.
03:26I will explain the situation to you regarding the child.
03:29I have never thought of letting you down.
03:31He's innocent.
03:32I had to take responsibility.
03:35But you are more important.
03:39Jason, I'm fine.
03:41It's just that my stomach suddenly felt a bit uncomfortable.
03:44Must be the stress.
03:45Easy.
03:46Has this affected the little baby?
03:47Don't worry about me.
03:49Handle things with Susie first.
03:50She looks really upset.
03:52You have a second on the way?
03:54Over the years, I went through all kinds of treatments to get pregnant.
03:59Getting injections that left my body bruised all over.
04:02And taking medications that cause my figure to change.
04:09I gave up my modeling career.
04:12And you just popped them out, one after another like it's nothing?
04:16Babe, I saw how much pain you were in.
04:18That's why I let Cindy help out.
04:20It's because I care about you.
04:22Yeah, Susie.
04:24Mine is yours.
04:25I'd never take anything from you.
04:30Susie, you're so kind.
04:32And you love me so much.
04:33You'll understand.
04:35Right?
04:41So, this is your answer?
04:44Susie.
04:47I love you too deeply.
04:48Yet I dare not tell you.
04:50Afraid you won't be able to bear it.
04:53I've analyzed the medication.
04:55It contains high doses of hormones.
04:58Prolonged use causes rapid weight gain.
05:00And permanent infertility.
05:03You planned this from the start!
05:29I can't lift you.
05:31Do us all a favor.
05:32Spare our eyes.
05:33Yeah?
05:48I was a top model.
05:50And you destroyed me.
05:52How dare you still play the loving husband?
05:55Don't touch me!
05:56I did it all for you.
05:58Think about it.
05:59Since you gained the weight, haven't you been taken care of every single day?
06:03You don't get to decide who I become.
06:05Look at you.
06:06You really think you're walking a runway again?
06:08Take my advice.
06:09Enjoy what you have.
06:10Don't make things harder on yourself.
06:12My kind?
06:13One mate.
06:14Forever.
06:15You betray that?
06:15And we don't forgive.
06:17Ever.
06:30How did you know I was back?
06:32I felt your tears.
06:34You need me.
06:36You need us.
06:38I missed you all so much.
06:59Mom!
07:01Is that...
07:02Susie?
07:03Why are you back?
07:04What happened?
07:05Mom, he cheated.
07:07He had a kid with some human woman.
07:08Now they have another on the way.
07:10How dare he?
07:11He swore an oath.
07:12He lied from the start.
07:14She was his high school sweetheart.
07:15And they secretly drugged me hormones to make me gain weight, to make me infertile.
07:19This is what he did to me.
07:20He dare do this to you?
07:22I'll crush him myself!
07:28It's too late!
07:29Everything's ruined!
07:34Susie!
07:35My lady, a man named Jason is at the shore.
07:38He holds one of our sacred treasures.
07:40He begs an audience with your daughter.
07:42How dare he show his face!
07:43Mom, this is between him and me.
07:46Let me end it.
07:48Myself.
08:04Susie, please.
08:05Just give me a chance to explain.
08:13These are apology gifts.
08:16Properties, jewelry, yachts.
08:19And this, mermaid's tear.
08:22It took me three years to find it.
08:25As precious as every tear you've shed for me.
08:29Keep your jewels.
08:30Now just looking at them makes me sick.
08:37Susie, the kids are innocent.
08:40Arthur's only nine and soon there'll be another.
08:43Just agree to take them in.
08:45I'll do whatever you want.
08:46Why the hell should I raise your kids with another woman?
08:49They're innocent?
08:51Then what about me?
08:53Jason, you've destroyed my youth, my career, my body.
09:02Divorce.
09:06Divorce.
09:07Divorce!
09:13Divorce?
09:30Susie, you hate doing those cheap car shows.
09:32So why?
09:32You know those guys don't even care about the cars.
09:34But if I do a few more, your company can get through this.
09:37I'm sorry, Susie.
09:38I'm useless.
09:39If I go under, I won't drag you down with me.
09:41We can just get a divorce, then...
09:43Don't!
09:43Jason, I chose this.
09:46We're husband and wife.
09:47My people don't break vows.
09:50I swear.
09:51From now on, your life is my life.
09:56One lifetime, just us.
09:58In this life, the next, divorce doesn't exist for us.
10:02Ever.
10:03Susie, we agreed back then.
10:06Neither of us gets to say it first.
10:07You're the one who betrayed me.
10:09When you were having kids with Cindy behind my back, did you even think about our marriage?
10:13I...
10:16Jason!
10:18Jason, don't do this.
10:20You'll get sick.
10:22Susie, this is all my fault.
10:24If you need to vent, take it out on me.
10:26Don't torture Jason.
10:29Save your pathetic acting.
10:31I'm not acting!
10:32I know I was wrong!
10:33Jason is everything to me!
10:34I'd die for him!
10:36So for his kids, I'll walk away from your marriage!
10:39Not biting?
10:40Fine.
10:41Let me turn up the heat.
10:42Susie, hit me!
10:43Curse me!
10:44Do whatever!
10:44But the kids are innocent!
10:45Don't touch me!
10:46Ah!
10:48Ah, my stomach!
10:50Susie, why did you push me?
10:52Cindy!
10:54No!
10:55Don't blame Susie.
10:57I shouldn't be here.
10:58I'll go.
11:03Susie, she's pregnant.
11:05You can hate me, but you don't touch my kids.
11:12Are you blind?
11:13She's still putting on a show!
11:16Why would she risk her own kid?
11:18How long are you going to keep this up?
11:20Jason, ten years!
11:22You know me!
11:23Do you honestly believe I'd hurt her?
11:25Saw it with my own eyes.
11:27People change.
11:28And let's face it, you're not one of us.
11:30So that's it.
11:31You've always minded that I'm not human.
11:33Fine then.
11:34Let's end this.
11:35For good.
11:37Take me home.
11:39This isn't my home anymore.
11:41Susie, you don't want to be human anymore?
11:43No.
11:44Being your woman?
11:46Too hard.
11:48Susie, don't go!
11:50Susie!
11:58Mom, I miss this version of me.
12:02Leave him, baby.
12:04Don't worry.
12:05Grandpa Poseidon's got your tail safe and sound.
12:08Ever since I was little I dreamed of being human.
12:10I thought all humans were like dad.
12:12Your father.
12:13He really was something else.
12:15When I was pregnant with you the pain was unbearable.
12:17The only thing that helped was the moon glow algae from the deep trench.
12:21That trench?
12:22Even whales won't go near it.
12:23He took the magic stone I gave him and left.
12:25Didn't say a word.
12:26Three whole days.
12:27When he came back, the stone was shattered, his tail fin shredded by the currents.
12:31He swam back.
12:32On these human legs.
12:33With everything he had.
12:35Right before he passed out, he opened his hand.
12:37The algae was still there.
12:39Living.
12:40Full of vitality.
12:41Guess I'm just not that lucky.
12:45Hello.
12:46I'm looking for Philip, CEO of Deep Sea Jewelry.
12:56He's my father.
12:57My husband has one daughter.
12:59No son.
13:00DNA results.
13:02Verified by our kind's bone magic.
13:06And every single child support payment.
13:10Dad would never.
13:12Then why do you think he's hiding from me?
13:16Kelly.
13:18Let them in.
13:20There are things it's time you knew.
13:31Kelly.
13:33Benjamin is my son.
13:37When?
13:37You and mom, you loved each other so much.
13:40How is this real?
13:42You.
13:44Why did you betray mom?
13:46Betray your vows?
13:48Trey?
13:48That year your mother was pregnant.
13:50Your kind forbids intimacy during pregnancy.
13:52A whole year.
13:53And I was a healthy young human male.
13:55Mom.
13:57Humans.
13:58Fickle.
14:00Untrustworthy.
14:05You still don't understand me.
14:07And she does?
14:09Although Paige is not a human woman, she has always been very sensible.
14:13And never fought or competed.
14:15She has never troubled me.
14:18Kelly.
14:18Just give them a title.
14:20I promise that she won't interfere with your life.
14:23My kind is different.
14:25We don't accept this.
14:27Take the kind-hearted people around you and leave here.
14:30Right now.
14:31Mom.
14:32Warm RGT.
14:34Your favorite.
14:38Susie.
14:39There's something I never told you.
14:42This is our kind's most sacred potion.
14:45When your grandfather, the sea god, opposed me bringing a human into our world, he said,
14:51If the one I chose proved false, make him drink this.
14:55It would strip him forever of the right to approach the sea.
14:58You're going to make dad drink it?
15:00If he'd fallen for a human woman, maybe.
15:02But now, none of that matters.
15:04You're what matters most.
15:05This potion holds endless power.
15:07Drink it, and you'll forget everything.
15:09Then get your tail back from your grandfather.
15:12You can start over.
15:13Become the strongest in our kind.
15:15You're still young.
15:16The road ahead is long.
15:18Forget him.
15:19Go find your true self.
15:20Jason.
15:21Should I forget you?
15:23Or not?
15:31Okay, okay.
15:32Let me finish packing first.
15:39Susie, time to say goodbye to this unhappy past.
15:52Good boy.
15:53I'll play with you in a minute.
15:54That's my marriage certificate.
15:56Easy, give it back.
16:05No!
16:14No, no way.
16:16This is fake.
16:17The whole thing's fake.
16:24Jason, this whole ten-year marriage, it never existed?
16:28I was never even your legal wife.
16:33Take me to him.
16:45Jason, you dared bring them into our home behind my back?
16:51Susie!
16:53Susie, I'm sorry.
16:54I thought you'd understand.
16:55I'm a father.
16:56I figured it out.
16:57Cindy can call you her sister.
16:59She moves in as your sister with the kids.
17:00We'll simply say the boy is my nephew to the outside world.
17:03That gives him a proper identity.
17:05I swear, they won't interfere with us.
17:09This is the perfect solution you come up with?
17:13Me calling that woman's sister?
17:15And taking her child live into my home?
17:20Watching your happy little family live it up right under my nose?
17:24Susie, I'm just trying to fix things.
17:26Fix things?
17:28Seems to me I'm the problem you're fixing.
17:30What are you saying?
17:31I've always been good to you.
17:36Good to me?
17:38You faked our marriage certificate?
17:42What was ten years of marriage to you?
17:44A joke?
17:46You know?
17:47Susie, let me explain.
17:49My lawyer will contact you.
17:52Fraud has a price.
17:54My youth, my career, my body, my heart.
17:57Ten years of it.
17:59Jason, you'll pay it all back.
18:01With interest.
18:06Susie, don't go.
18:07Yes, I lied, but I was scared.
18:09You're a mermaid.
18:10What if one day you swim back to the sea and leave me?
18:13What would I do?
18:14I couldn't keep you.
18:16At least I couldn't let myself be some divorced guy who got left behind.
18:20You want the title?
18:21Let's go register right now.
18:23Make you Mrs. Jason, official legal.
18:25Mrs. Jason, I don't care about the title.
18:27I care about your heart.
18:28But your heart?
18:29It was never real.
18:36Want to bet?
18:37See who he picks?
18:38You or me?
18:39I don't have time for your games.
18:42Honey, my stomach hurts.
18:50Jason, it's my fault.
18:52I upset your wife.
18:54Ah, it hurts.
18:55Our baby, we're losing it.
18:59Jason, can't you see she's faking?
19:02Susie, I really love you.
19:04I don't want to lose you.
19:06But I can't risk a child's life.
19:09That'd be selfish.
19:10Choose her now, and there's no coming back.
19:12For real.
19:24Jason, if you choose her, I'll drink the potion.
19:29Go back to being a mermaid.
19:32Forget you completely.
19:44Susie, you lose.
19:47I'm sorry.
20:13You're the last princess of our kind.
20:16You can't leave me.
20:20Tail, where are you?
20:22I need you.
20:32Baby, I'm sorry.
20:35Mommy's tired.
20:36I have to go.
20:38You live well, okay?
20:41No!
20:43No!
20:43No!
20:49I want to be a mermaid again!
21:11I want to be a mermaid again!
21:21Mom!
21:22No!
21:23You came back.
21:24My good girl.
21:26Take care of this sea for me now.
21:28I don't want it.
21:31I want you to live.
21:34Remember, mommy loves you forever.
21:40Mom!
21:53Mom!
21:55Go in peace!
21:56I'll protect our kind.
21:59I'll drink the potion and forget him forever.
22:29I'll drink the potion and forget him forever.
22:30With Susie gone, all I want is you hard.
22:34Fuck me.
22:36Fuck me.
22:55I gave up everything.
22:58Refuse to drink and forget you.
23:00And you?
23:02You already broke us.
23:09That is why I like you.
23:11You are not like Susie.
23:13You know how to please me when it counts, you little slut.
23:17Go!
23:18Destroy it all!
23:24What was that?
23:25Oh my god.
23:30Susie!
23:44You're a mermaid.
23:49Wait for me.
24:02Susie, wake up.
24:04Don't leave me.
24:06Don't leave me.
24:07You can't die.
24:08You're a mermaid.
24:09How could you drown?
24:10You're messing with me, right?
24:12Bitch.
24:12Finally dead.
24:14Now I'm the lady of the house.
24:16Jason, don't torture yourself.
24:18Susie's gone.
24:20Let her return to the sea.
24:21It's where she belongs.
24:23Get out!
24:25Jason, I know you're hurting, but Susie is really-
24:28Shut up!
24:29You drove her away.
24:31Your calls.
24:31Your fake stomach pains.
24:33Showing up at the door that day.
24:34You.
24:34It was all you.
24:36I just love you.
24:37And this baby, it's yours.
24:39You think I don't see it?
24:40You and your little bastard.
24:42You're after my money, my house, everything I own.
24:44But Susie?
24:45She stayed with me for ten years.
24:46Gave up everything for me.
24:48She never asked me for a single thing.
24:50Never!
24:51Susie, I was wrong.
24:53Please, wake up.
24:54I'll give you anything.
24:55Do anything.
24:56Just wake up.
24:56Even dead, she's still competing with me.
24:58Sir, the sun's rising.
25:00The ice coffin is melting.
25:02We must return her to the sea before it's gone.
25:07Let her go.
25:18Let her go.
26:02Daddy, when can we go home?
26:04Home?
26:06This home was never yours.
26:08Not really.
26:11He's just a kid.
26:13He doesn't understand.
26:14This is our home.
26:15Take your money and your son.
26:17Go back where you belong.
26:31Ladies and gentlemen,
26:33tonight, a mysterious superstar will ignite the evening.
26:36She burst onto the scene and conquered all four fashion weeks.
26:45Welcome, Evelyn Renard!
26:53This potion is insane.
26:55Sure, some things are fuzzy, but I've got more power now.
26:58Mermaid?
26:59Human?
26:59I switch whenever I want.
27:01Screw it.
27:02Time to have some fun.
27:04Evelyn?
27:05This girl looks very familiar.
27:06You mean that supermodel who blew up Susie?
27:09Susie?
27:09Yeah, that's the one.
27:10But I like this version better.
27:12She's like an elf who fell to earth.
27:39She's like an elf who fell to earth.
27:41She's like an elf and the other.
27:41That's what I need to do.
27:41She's like a elf who fell to earth.
27:42She's like a elf who fell to earth.
27:43location, no entry. Do you have any idea that model on stage is my wife?
28:04The day mom shattered and fell, this is how you were? Smiling, feeding her grape?
28:13Thank you all for your love. To give back, I want to share a gift from the ocean.
28:19The ocean? It's a video about my mermaid friend. I want you all to see it.
28:24Mermaids? They're real? Didn't she drink the potion? Lose her memory?
28:31Shit. Looks like it only erased Jason.
28:39Mommy loves you, forever.
28:44MOOOOOOO!
28:52Kelly! How? Kelly!
28:54Calm down, she's gone. Mermaids don't come back from that.
28:57Let go! I don't believe it. She can't be dead.
29:04Susie! Susie!
29:08Susie, I know you're alive. You changed your name to hide from me. I get it.
29:15Sir, let go. Now.
29:17I was wrong. I know I was wrong. Susie, please give me a chance.
29:21Sir, I got the wrong person. This is the new star, Miss Evelyn, not Susie.
29:24She's my wife. Susie, let me through.
29:30Susie, tell them. I'm your husband. Say something.
29:37Jason? I was married?
29:43Sir, you have the wrong person. I'm not your wife, Susie. My name is Evelyn Renard.
29:54Susie, look at me. I'm Jason. We were married for ten years.
29:59I know you're angry. Just come back and I'll send Cindy and Arthur away immediately.
30:03We'll start over like ten years ago. Okay, Susie?
30:09What a scumbag.
30:11Miss that man just now? Do you know him?
30:15Maybe. Can't really remember.
30:33I heard Susie's alive.
30:37Who told you to come here?
30:38You haven't come to see Arthur in so long.
30:42He really misses you.
30:44Daddy, don't go looking for her.
30:46I want you with us every day.
30:50You actually taught a kid to say things like that?
30:53Jason, I didn't mean to.
30:56Susie's situation is huge. I couldn't hide it from Arthur.
31:00Go back where you belong.
31:03Now!
31:04Money will come on time. I'll visit when I can.
31:16Jason, you see she's not dead and you want to get back together with her?
31:26Who the hell do you think you are?
31:27You think you can compare to her?
31:30Answer me!
31:31Was that your idea?
31:33Having Arthur show up that day?
31:34Her breakdowns? Her walking out?
31:36You planned all of it, didn't you?
31:38Now!
31:41No, no, I didn't.
31:43Jason, I never meant to drive her away.
31:46I know I can't compare to her.
31:49But I love you more than she ever did.
31:52More than anyone.
31:53Love me?
31:57Let me tell you something.
31:59I never loved you.
32:01Not once.
32:03You were just excitement.
32:05A toy to pass the time.
32:07As for him,
32:08every time I see him,
32:10I can't stand to look at him.
32:11I never should have let this happen
32:13and it's the biggest regret of my life.
32:17Leave now.
32:18Take the boy with you
32:19and never show up in front of me again.
32:26Jason!
32:28You can't do this to us!
32:45Find someone for me.
32:47The new supermodel,
32:49Evelyn Renard.
32:50I want everything.
32:51Address, schedule, agent, endorsements.
32:53Everything.
32:55Now.
33:04Even if you don't remember me,
33:05it doesn't matter.
33:06I'll find a way
33:08to make you love me again.
33:25Congratulations to this year's
33:27Fashion Phoenix Award winner,
33:29Evelyn Renard.
33:44Eveline, congratulations.
33:45Winning a Fashion Award
33:46right after your debut,
33:47everyone once supported you
33:48through this incredible rebirth.
33:50A fish in the deep sea
33:51must keep swimming to breathe.
33:52I just...
33:53and decided nothing
33:54would pollute them anymore.
33:55So what's next for you?
33:56For the past few months,
33:57I've been quietly working
33:58on a project,
33:59a tribute to the resilient lives
34:00beneath the waves.
34:31Stomach hurting again? I told you not to drink on an empty stomach.
34:40Wait here, I'll make you something easy to digest.
34:47Drink up, four hours slow cooked.
34:50Next time, don't tough out the pain.
34:53There's meds and applesauce in the fridge.
35:01I never noticed a single thing you did for me.
35:05Turns out, I'm the one who can't let go.
35:09I was so stupid.
35:11I lost the only person in this world who truly cared about me.
35:15I lost the only person in this world who truly cared about me.
35:59In the name of the deep, by the witness of the tides, Kelly, for her strength and courage,
36:05is welcomed into the ranks of the Eternal Guardians.
36:09Her soul shall become a star, forever shining upon the waters of the Murphy.
36:22Farewell, our queen.
36:31Mom!
36:39Mom!
36:44Just a dream.
36:45Mom, where are you now?
36:48Mom, are you okay?
36:57It's real!
36:58Mom!
36:59You really became an eternal guardian!
37:12Hey!
37:13Be careful!
37:15Be careful!
37:16Be careful!
37:16Be careful!
37:17Be careful!
37:17Be careful!
37:30No problem.
37:30It was our fault.
37:31I apologize on behalf of everyone.
37:36They're having so much fun.
37:38I'm the one interrupting them.
37:41Want some water?
37:42Thanks.
37:43What's wrong with me?
37:44Why do I feel like throwing up?
37:49You need to relax.
37:51We're playing a game over there.
37:52Need one more.
37:53Want to join?
37:56I...
37:56I haven't seen a smile this pure, this sunny, in so long.
38:06The rules are simple.
38:09Whoever the bottle points to has to share three things about themselves.
38:14But only one is fake.
38:19Meaning one more.
38:20Whoa!
38:20The newbie.
38:21Okay, listen up.
38:23One, I'm not a hundred percent human.
38:25Two, I just broke up with a billionaire.
38:28And three, I don't feel a spark with anyone here.
38:33Whoa, brutal and accurate.
38:36Ooh, that's rough.
38:37Yeah, no kidding.
38:37No need to guess.
38:38That one's obviously fake.
38:39How could you not be human?
38:43I'm guessing number three.
38:46What?
