Lady Jieyou had been deeply troubled and anxious lately. Especially after the upheaval at the Manifestation Water Palace a month ago, when she had been placed under house arrest, every day had felt like a year.
Her delicate, softly alluring watery eyes kept sweeping over the guards outside the palace, brimming with anxiety.
Lady Jieyou was of noble status, a commandery princess. Ever since she had been abducted here four years ago, she had thought of nothing but escape.
Even though the Manifestation Water Lord treated her very well and did his utmost to satisfy her every demand.
Yet in Princess Jieyou's eyes, no matter how much the Manifestation Water Lord doted on her, this dark, damp Manifestation Water Mansion, reeking of fish and brine and surrounded by aquatic demons dripping saliva all day long, was not even as good as the stables in her Princess's Mansion.
Back at the Princess's Mansion, whenever she ate fresh fruit, she ate only the freshest fruit picked beneath the morning dew, with hundreds upon thousands of varieties for her to choose from.

Fish and shrimp, fish and shrimp—she felt she herself was about to turn into a fish reeking of fishiness.
What was more, every night she had to endure the Manifestation Water Flood Dragon tormenting her with its body cold enough to pierce the bone, its mouth exhaling that nauseating stench of blood and fish mixed together.
Yet she still had to bend herself to flatter him and tactfully cater to his desires. It was as disgusting as could be.
Every moment, she thought of leaving.
