To save her son, whom she had never met, she forcibly seized the treasures of the ocean.
At that moment, Xia Yangyang was unaware that her glimpse of the Heart of the Ocean and the chance to save a life was a gamble made by the proud Victor, who risked everything.
Just moments before, Xia Yangyang had resolutely taken the Heart of the Ocean, intending to give the Octopus Child in human experimentation a chance at life.
Little did she know that what she thought was a temporary borrowing would bring about endless and reckless revenge from the entire ocean against humanity.
The moment the Heart of the Ocean was taken by Xia Yangyang, the sea trembled violently beneath, and the water surged uncontrollably. Even the Ocean Monarch could not maintain his balance and instinctively supported Victor, who was frowning beside him.
A Crab Guard came rolling in from outside, trembling as it pointed towards land. "Your... Majesty, it's bad! The... other side, the Heart of the Ocean... has been stolen by that human who was rescued!"
On the other side, a small octopus mermaid was submerged in an experimental tank, cold light illuminating its skin, fragile enough to reveal its veins and arteries.
Xia Yangyang felt an inexplicable warmth in her heart as her fingers gently poked at the glass wall, thinking it looked somewhat beautiful.
The system urgently reminded her, "Is this really the time to daydream?! Quickly place the Heart of the Ocean on its heart!"
Xia Yangyang hurriedly pulled out a pink stone from her pocket.
As soon as the Heart of the Ocean touched the water, it began to emit a pink glow. The Octopus Child also sensed an unusual warmth and reached out with both hands to embrace the Heart of the Ocean, creating a faint pink light around it.
In an instant, pink light radiated everywhere, illuminating the entire laboratory as bright as day. The Heart of the Ocean gradually merged into his chest. With a splash, the Octopus Child jumped up and began to swim energetically in the tank.
Xia Yangyang smiled at him.
She approached the tank and saw the Octopus Child gently pressing against the glass wall.
The wonder of blood relation made the Octopus Child calm down.
He cautiously extended a tentacle and pressed it against her fingertip through the glass.
The system urgently reminded, "Hurry! That flash of light was too blinding; the researchers have noticed the anomaly and are on their way."
"But I can't leave him here alone."
"You’re being foolish. He can’t survive without the nutrient solution, and he has the Heart of the Ocean. You don’t need to take him to the sea; people from the ocean will come to take him to safety. You can't evade both the ocean and land while being pursued at the same time."
Researchers arriving outside the laboratory discovered their colleague knocked out at the entrance.
Soon, the sounds of emergency aid and shouting grew louder.
Xia Yangyang turned to look at the little creature in the tank, took a deep breath, and finally walked out without looking back.
Sensing abandonment, the Octopus Child nearly cried out, banging against the glass wall.
Xia Yangyang's eyes reddened, but she dared not turn back; she feared that if she did, she wouldn’t be able to leave at all.
Three years later, in an extremely ordinary apartment, a woman lay in a bathtub, her brow furrowed with lingering sorrow.
The water slowly formed several whirlpools, which coalesced into slender streams resembling tentacles.
The Tentacles seemed alive as they gently caressed her, with one even wrapping around her neck, pressing her head down into the water.
Her face turned red from suffocation as she struggled against the invisible streams; she could neither touch nor grasp them, only endure their torment. It was only when she neared a breaking point that she suddenly sat up in the bathtub.
Xia Yangyang rose and wrapped herself in a towel. She had initially thought that Victor's curse merely deprived her of her ability to breathe underwater.
But later on, she gradually realized something was wrong. The so-called curse of the ocean meant that wherever there was water, Victor could find her.
Three years ago, Victor killed the Ocean Monarch to block the ocean's pursuers and took the child along with the Heart of the Ocean back to the sea, which subsequently triggered frequent tsunamis.
He also manipulated the Sea Beast to attack innocent fishermen, using the storm to throw human debris back across the world.
Humans were enraged and could no longer tolerate it.
High dams were built worldwide to resist tsunamis, while research was conducted on ocean sonar to indiscriminately hunt deep-sea mermaids.
The conflict between land and sea reached an unprecedented severity.
Just as war was about to break out, Victor suddenly sent envoys to negotiate peace, claiming that his previous retaliation against humans was due to a detestable human woman who had stolen treasures from the ocean. He stated that if humans handed over the person named Xia Yangyang, the ocean would be willing to unite with humanity and share peace.
Xia Yangyang had been hiding for three years. To survive, she had to make herself look extremely unattractive every day just to dare go outside.
After finishing her makeup, she changed into her work uniform and went to an aquarium, where she began her day as a caretaker by scooping fresh fish from the cold storage into a cart.
When her shift ended, a black sedan was already waiting not far away. Leaning against the car door was a handsome man holding a bouquet of white roses, who smiled upon seeing Xia Yangyang.
This man had persistently invited her to dinner for three days, and his intention to capture her for a reward was all too obvious.
Xia Yangyang maintained a cold expression and pretended not to see him as she walked past the car.
The man caught up and gently tapped her shoulder.
