  “Alright, my mermaid, open your eyes.”


  Upon Lily’s gentle order, she slowly opened her eyes.

  Perhaps, it was just her imagination, but despite being surrounded by many people, when she opened her eyes, she could only hear Lily’s voice and nothing else.

  The whole studio was eerily quiet.

  “Sss……”


  When her eyes fully opened, before she could get a good look at herself in the mirror, she heard those around her sucking in a deep breath, as though they had seen something incredible.

  “Wow……”


  “My gosh……”


  Following this was a series of exclamations.

  Only then did she ascertain that she and he were not the only ones in the room.

  “Truly perfect.” He smiled at her, his gaze filled with pride and entrancement.

  Curious, she looked at herself in the mirror.

  When she finally saw her reflection, her eyes opened wide in shock, and she froze.

  The woman in the mirror had a head of long, wavy, thick, seaweed-like hair. Her waterfall-like hair was so long that she could not see its end in the mirror.

  The thick, long, and wavy hair partially covered her oval face, hiding the roundness of it and making her chin look sharper.

  The makeup on her face was much lighter than the ones she had had when she attended the previous banquets.

  Of course, it was only slightly lighter.

  In contrast to the everyday makeup, hers right now was extremely detailed and exquisite.

  A dark blue liner was used to draw a fine line, which slanted at the end, around her eyes; this made her gaze deep and unreadable.

  The eyeshadow was even more interesting and avant-garde.

  After putting concealer, an almost transparent baby blue base shade was spread across her eyelid. Above this shade, a layer of golden shimmer was applied. The thin layer was not very visible in dim lighting but would shimmer splendidly under bright lighting.

  In contrast to the light colors of her eyeshadow, the blush on her cheekbones was more obvious.

  Perhaps, because a few layers of Barbie pink blush were applied, her cheeks looked as watery and delectable as peach, giving one the urge to bite them.

  “Is this really me?” She could not help but tug at the hair strands on her shoulders, her eyes filling with admiration and surprise.

  “Of course, it is you, my mermaid princess!” Lily grinned at her. Inside, he could not help but lament,

  “Come and stand up, my mermaid princess. Let’s take a proper look at you in front of the full-length mirror!” He held her hand and suggested this.

  Pei Ge, who was still in a trance over her appearance, got up from her chair and meekly followed the stylist.

  “Look; this is you. The one and only and unique you.” He smiled at her, his voice filled with pride and awe.

  Pei Ge looked at herself in the mirror, and her moist eyes got filled with amazement and surprise.

  “Beautiful……”


  Someone murmured this.

  “Yes…… Very beautiful……”


  Once the first person spoke, as if a switch had been flipped, everyone started singing her praises.

  “Just like a mermaid……”


  That was right. She truly resembled a mermaid from fantasy.

  The corner of her lips curled up. Looking at herself in the mirror, she was reminded of when she was younger.

  She loved hearing stories about mermaids back then, but she never liked their ending, so every time her father read her a bedtime story, he would always change the fate of the mermaid in it.

  ‘The prince found out that it was the mermaid who had saved his life, so he broke off his engagement with the neighboring princess and lived happily ever after with the mermaid.’


  “He he……” She could not help but laugh at her reflection in the mirror.

  she joked to herself.

  Going through his makeover, she definitely resembled a mermaid with how beautiful and pure she looked.

  She studied the woman in the mirror. The great body curve and exquisite face she saw made her forget for a moment that she was wearing a revealing evening gown.

  “This hair……” She lightly looped a lock of hair around her finger.

  Only after she had stood up did she notice that her hair extended to her bum.

  It cascaded like a waterfall!

  The most interesting part about her hair was that its ends were gradient.

  The ends, which were dyed aquamarine, were different from the rest of her hair, which was black. These contrasting colors were extremely eye-catching.

  “Ha ha. This wig is nice, right? It’s the expensive type; that’s why!” Lily also held a lock of her fake hair and grinned.

  “Huh? Expensive?” She looked at the hair looped around her finger and blinked. Honest speaking, if she did not know how long her hair was, she would really not think that this was just a wig!

  “Of course! This wig is made of real human hair, after all. Flawlessly dyeing hair in this color is especially hard to achieve!” he explained with exasperation.

  However, his explanation seemed to have the opposite effect on her as she now wore a disdainful look.

  “Real hair?! That’s so scary!” She moved to take off the wig on her head.

  Her actions made Lily helpless. “My ancestor…… Stop fooling around. So much time and effort were spent to achieve this style, you know?

  “Also, look; do you still find your evening gown revealing after putting on this wig?”
