Mermaids weep tears that turn to pearls, and their bodies burn like fire at night. Shi Yun Yin, the adopted daughter of the Shi family and possessing merman blood, suffers endless torment from a young age and is even sold at auction. Ou Zun, the head of a conglomerate suffering from a cold poison for many years, purchases the merman Shi Yun Yin as his personal pet in a forbidden area. However, Shi Yun Yin is restless. She feigns innocence and muteness, but harbors a hidden identity. She uses Ou Zun's power to take revenge on the Shi family while simultaneously plotting to get rid of him completely. In this game of playing dumb to outwit each other, the two become each other's only salvation. (Source: Chinese = Douban || Translation = Google Translate) ~~ Adapted from the web novel "Ma Fan!

Reviews
Underwhelming fantasy drama and no chemistry between Zuo Ming and Liu Lan Ge
I am a fan of supernatural themed drama so when I found out about this drama, I was ecstatic. I watched it last week during commute to work. To my dismay, I felt like it was lacking something by the time I completed the watch.What I liked:
1. Fantasy - I liked the concept that mermaids can create pearls through their tears. It was mentioned here at the start of the drama but I couldn't recall seeing it happened. I also liked the shapeshifter concept.
2. Styling - The outfits worn by FL reflected her mermaid identity. Cute!
3. Supporting characters - I liked ML's right hand man. His comments were entertaining.
What I disliked:
1. Romance - Seemed forced / unnatural. No warmth. I didn't buy their love story because FL seemed to pity ML or perhaps it's the case of Stockholm Syndrome. Plus there was no chemistry between Zuo Ming and Liu Lan Ge.
2. Plot - FL & ML were underdeveloped characters. I felt like the drama could be stronger if ML's arc was given more time. The investigation was interesting but only introduced in the third act.
3. Antagonists - "Families" of both FL & ML were vicious. I didn't understand the warehouse scene led by FL's mother and sister. I understood it was revenge but it seemed haphazard?
Favourite scene
When antagonist tried to push FL into the swimming pool
Boring drama
I was quite tempted with the premise but the execution was underwhelmed.A typical "domineering CEO and his doting wife" romance novel with a slightly fantastical twist using mermaid FL as camouflage, but essentially the same old thing. The villains are very stereotypical old style. No chemistry between Liu Lange and Zuo Ming since the plot was quite weak and boring; you basically know the plot from the beginning. Dropped on 10 minutes lol.
