Description
Jiang Yuan* transformed into a rare and precious little gold-colored mermaid, lovingly cared for in a mermaid sanctuary. Jiang Yuan sighed, “Overworked to death in my previous life, and now living like a salted fish in this one—it’s worth it.” His days were spent eating, drinking, and sleeping peacefully, but his tranquility was short-lived when he was assigned to serve Imperial Admiral Qi Yuan*. “Rumour has it that Admiral Qi is violent and ruthless, killing without blinking an eye, having tortured three mermaids to death!” Jiang Yuan obediently lies down: You can’t fight fate, better to lie flattake it easy.jpg At their first meeting, Qi Yuan indifferently said: “Just throw it anywhere, just don’t let it get in my way.” Jiang Yuan: What? No need to work? Is there such a good thing!? At their second meeting, Qi Yuan coldly remarked, “Mermaids are the most opportunistic and worthless creatures.” Jiang Yuan nervously agreed, “Ah, yes, yes, yes.” During their third meeting, Jiang Yuan presented exquisite pastries from the kitchen in one hand and sour plum soup from the butler in the other. His golden scales shimmered beautifully, and his light-colored tailfin swayed gracefully in the water. Passing by, Qi Yuan was momentarily captivated by the golden light. “…”Jiang Yuan was puzzled. “?” Their eyes met, and Jiang Yuan hesitantly asked, “Want to soak together?” Seeing through Jiang Yuan’s polite invitation, Qi Yuan sneered, “Fine.” Jiang Yuan was taken aback. “!” And so it went, meeting after meeting… Jiang Yuan soon realised his short-term meal ticket had a dual personality.During the day, Qi Yuan was indifferent to Jiang Yuan. But at night, he would lean on Jiang Yuan’s shoulder, engaging in tea speak. “Someone insulted me today. It was really hurtful. Only a kiss can make it better.” The next morning, Jiang Yuan, holding his waist, retorted angrily, “Get lost, men are all scum.” Qi Yuan simply nodded. “Ah, yes, yes, yes.” * Jiang Yuan faced two major obstacles on his path to lazily living like a salted fish:His boyfriend was reborn, armed with a revenge script. And Qi Yuan possessed a strong waist and great strength. Author’s Note: [Important] This is mostly about daily life—a sweet, lighthearted story. Marriage before love; the protagonist transmigrates to enjoy a carefree life, while the male lead has multiple personalities, the number depending on the plot’s progression. It involves a bit of chasing after his wife and major redemption scenes. Content tags: The favoured child of the heavens, time travel, rebirth, interstellar, lighthearted, cannon fodder.

My Thoughts on After Marrying the Villain, the Mermaid No Longer Wants to Work Hard
"After Marrying the Villain, the Mermaid No Longer Wants to Work Hard" is quite the title, isn't it? With its blend of sci-fi, romance, and a dash of the fantastical, it certainly piqued my interest. After diving in, I found a story with a lot of potential, though not without its quirks.
First Impressions
The futuristic setting, combined with the mermaid twist, immediately grabbed my attention. The premise is intriguing: a seemingly apathetic protagonist navigating a world of genetic modifications and mecha. The promise of romance with a "villain" added another layer of complexity that I was eager to explore.
What Works Well
The world-building is compelling. The author has clearly put thought into crafting this futuristic society, and I found myself drawn to the unique blend of technologies and social structures. The characters, too, have a certain charm. The protagonist's laid-back attitude, while sometimes frustrating, also provides a refreshing contrast to the high-stakes world around him. The dynamic between the mermaid MC and the villain is also fairly entertaining.
Areas of Concern
One aspect that I found myself struggling with was the pacing. While I appreciated the slice-of-life elements, I felt that certain scenes dragged on longer than necessary. I will say that the amount of detail spent on food descriptions was a lot. While I enjoy a good meal as much as the next person, the sheer volume of these scenes sometimes felt excessive and detracted from the overall plot progression. It felt like I was reading a food blog at times, rather than a sci-fi romance.
Final Verdict
"After Marrying the Villain, the Mermaid No Longer Wants to Work Hard" is a novel with a lot of potential. The world-building is strong, and the characters are engaging. However, the pacing issues and excessive focus on food descriptions do hold it back from reaching its full potential. If you're looking for a lighthearted read with a unique premise and don't mind a bit of culinary detail, this might be worth checking out. But be prepared to skim through some lengthy mealtime descriptions.
