I, the Mermaid, Spend Money to Raise Kids

Jian Chi is a deep-sea mermaid with a tail as magnificent as flowing water and the sharpest claws. Invincible in the abyss, he transforms his tail into legs and retracts his claws to live among humans as the adopted son of a wealthy family, enjoying a lazy life. Until the holographic card game ‘Slaughter’ emerges… and he becomes a lazy fish in the game.

‘Slaughter’ is a brilliantly designed game, vast in scale, mirroring the abyss Jian Chi once inhabited. Abyssal monsters, humans, ghosts, elves, and beasts form a grand world. In a game where survival depends on combat and slaughter, Jian Chi leisurely sways his tail in a massive artificial ocean. He has money. And money talks.

Majestic palaces rise from the wilderness, and various entertainment projects turn the area into a paradise. From then on, Jian Chi frequently finds abandoned, injured, mutilated, violent, weak, and helpless little ones around. They look at him with flattering yet cautious smiles, asking, ‘You seem powerful, can I stay with you?’

Wen Que emerges from the abyss, his long knife drenched in blood, exuding a menacing aura that no one dares to provoke. Until one day, covered in blood, he is disdainfully kicked by a young man and dragged into a castle.
