00:00In order to marry the Merman King, the woman every time she had her period would go to the
00:03river to wash her undergarments. Her sole purpose was to lure the Merman King to her with the scent
00:08of blood. This woman was named Anna. She lived in a remote little town because her family was
00:12dirt poor. She spent every day longing to become the wife of the Merman King. Legend had it that
00:16whoever became the Merman King lover would receive endless wealth beyond measure. So every time Anna
00:21had her period, she would go to the river and wash her blood-stained clothes, and she would record
00:25the number of times in a notebook. After three years of unwavering persistence, her dedication
00:29finally bore fruit. A stranger appeared outside her door. Without saying a single word he took
00:34away Anna. Undergarments, Anna was fairly certain that this man was a servant dispatched by the
00:38Merman King. She knew her wish had come true. In the days that followed, Anna still went to the
00:42river to wash her clothes as before. Another three months passed, and at last on a rainy night,
00:47there was movement on the river surface. Sure enough before long, a handsome young man
00:50knocked on Anna's door. The man made the excuse that it was too cold outside and asked to stay
00:54the night at Anna's home. At that moment, Anna noticed the man was completely soaked and had
00:58clearly just emerged from the water. She was convinced this man was the Merman King in human
01:02form. So she hurriedly welcomed him inside. Yet the man had barely sat down for a moment before his
01:07whole body began to tremble. And the very next second, he coughed up a fish roe. Before Anna
01:11could even gather her wits, he stuffed it straight into her belly, then turned and fled. The next day,
01:15Anna woke up and found that she was actually carrying the Merman King child. From that day on,
01:20Anna received fresh fish every single day. This was the Merman King way of giving her nourishment.
01:24But as Anna looked at the child inside her womb, she was terrified of giving birth to a monster.
01:29So she made a desperate decision.
