Lin Qian, a mermaid from the sea, rescued Yan Sheng and fell in love with him. She plucked her scales and turned them into sapphires to help him start a business. Pearls turned into life. Yan Sheng used her as a substitute and acquiesced to You Shan's instigation. Lin Qian turned into scales because of her betrayal, but she still prepared gifts for her son and saved him. You Shan pretended to be pregnant and forced him to get married. Lin Qian jumped into the sea and revealed her true identity as a mermaid.

Mermaid tale with underwhelming performance by lead actress
I was drawn to this drama because of the mermaid trope and it's short length. However I was left disappointed after watching this drama.What I liked:
1. Concept - I liked the idea of turning scales into sapphire. I also liked the tragedy in this drama because it reminded me of Brothers Grimm's The Little Mermaid.
2. Styling - I liked styling for FL, ML and FL's brother.
3. Character growth - I have to say I prefer ML's arc more than FL's arc. He was a scumbag that forgot the sacrifices of his wife. He was remorseful but it was too late.
4. Acting - The actor who played ML was good in his role and overall was the best actor in comparison to Bao Zhi Yue. I also liked the child actor.
What I disliked:
1. Acting - I was underwhelmed by Bao Zhi Yue's acting. She managed to get my sympathy when I discovered her struggles with her marriage. However her acting in the second half of the drama was stiff.
2. FL characterisation - I didn't like that she left her kid just like that without explaining to the son why she's taking that step. I understand that she was hurt but my gosh her son was just an impressionable child. Who is going to advise the son when he comes of age?
3. ML characterisation - I disliked him for being gullible when it came to green tea. He didn't understand nor set boundaries.
