The Deep Sea Tyrant's Forsaken Mermaid Bride
The most scorned princess of the Mermaid Kingdom, Doris has no magic and cannot bond with a spirit beast. After catching her sister and boyfriend in an affair, she is hunted by her own father's assassins. With nowhere left to run, she escapes into the Eternal Abyss. There she meets the legendary tyrant: Merrick, the Abyssal King. What shocks her even more: this man is the face that has haunted her dreams of desire, and the only one who can awaken the power lying dormant inside her.
Story Guide
Episode 1
Doris is the Mermaid Kingdom's eldest princess in name only — born with no magic and unable to bond a spirit beast, she's outranked even by the maids, and her father can barely look at her. Her recurring dream keeps pulling her toward a shadowy man who whispers that he's been waiting for her.
Today is her sister Heda's rebonding ceremony, and Doris is already late. She delivers the King his supplements and gets a cold reminder not to embarrass the family. Then she goes looking for Henry, her mate — and finds him with Heda.
Episode 2
Court gossip swirls about Merrick, the Abyssal King, the tyrant carving through every kingdom in search of a mate. Someone jokes about the scar across his back — the exact scar Doris keeps seeing in her dreams, which rattles her more than she admits.
Then Heda's circle closes in. Henry and the other nobles mock Doris for having no spirit beast, and a shove sends her into the water. Heda doesn't defend her; she tells Henry to get rid of her, dangling command of the merfolk army as the reward. Henry asks for a little more time. Doris walks in on them — and the room goes silent.
Episode 3
Doris confronts the pair: she is Henry's mate and Heda's sister. Heda doesn't flinch — she and Henry hold the kingdom's strongest magic, while Doris has nothing. She asks Henry if he agrees. He does. To him, Doris is worthless, and only Heda can give him what he wants.
The King arrives, and Doris begs him to see the betrayal. Instead, he tells her the one left behind is the other woman. Henry formally severs his mate bond with Doris in front of everyone. Then the King's tone shifts — he's had her watched, and if poison can't suppress whatever sleeps inside her, they'll simply get rid of her.
Episode 4
Heda panics that Doris ruined everything, and the King spells out the real fear: if Doris's power fully awakens, her spirit beast will return to her. That can't be allowed. The order is simple — kill her.
Assassins chase Doris to the edge of the Eternal Abyss, but they halt at the border. This is Merrick's territory, and if that monster catches them, they're dead. Doris slips through anyway, pursued, desperate, with nowhere left to run.
Then a voice cuts through the dark — and she freezes. Standing before her is the man from her dreams.
