Summary
Xie Xing enters an instance called The Dead Sea, where his team must fulfill three wishes for its terrifying boss. Yet Lu Shen, the missing boss, is nothing like the monster Xie Xing expected: he hides under the bed, avoids crowds, loves video games, and is painfully insecure about his inhuman nature. As Xie Xing cleans his room, shares games, and accompanies him beneath the sea, fear gives way to affection. But the drowned world conceals a violent history between humans and merfolk. To complete the mission—and decide whether they can remain together—Xie Xing must confront that truth and Lu Shen’s final wish.
