My Crown Burned on Her Head

Synopsis

I concealed my identity as a mermaid princess and married a human prince. Later, he returned with his pregnant mistress, ordering me to move out of the princess palace and hand over the royal crown. I neither wept nor argued. Instead, I smiled and placed the crown upon the woman’s head. The power of my mermaid bloodline erupted in an instant, and shrill screams echoed throughout the entire palace. Enraged, the prince rushed forward to shield his mistress, shouting sharply at me and demanding that I kneel and apologize. At that moment, my heart turned completely cold. I turned my back, a faint eerie blue glow flickering at my fingertips, as I awakened the slumbering power of the tides. Since tenderness cannot win cherished affection, I shall unleash the wrath of the deep sea — to destroy this false love and hollow palace, and rise from the ashes as the mermaid princess I truly am.
