You may not touch it, but it will hold you gently."— The Shape of Water[Blurb 1]In a shipwreck, Yunxi sank with the vessel into the sea.Just before she lost consciousness, soft lips pressed against hers.When she woke again, she was submerged in a dim pool of water, a woman lying beside her.The woman was completely naked, her wavy hair thick as seaweed, her features strikingly exotic—but from her waist down trailed a pale blue fishtail.The mermaid curled her silken tail around Yunxi’s body, drew close to scent her, marking her with her smell.Yunxi rolled her eyes back and fainted.[Blurb 2]One month into being "kept" by the mermaid on a deserted island,Yunxi could no longer endure it and decided to starve herself.The innocent mermaid thought Yunxi was sick. She combed the mountains and the sea, gathering every edible thing she could find, laying them beside Yunxi. She watched her with pleading eyes, nuzzling her with her nose, and finally held her, sobbing uncontrollably.Listening to the mermaid’s cries, Yunxi’s heart softened again and again. In the end, she gave up on starving herself.She had to survive. On this island, like every other creature, survival came first.[Blurb 3]One year into surviving on the island with the mermaid,Yunxi tried to leave her and live independently.The mermaid didn’t understand why Yunxi wanted to leave. She thought it was because she wasn’t human—because she was different—so Yunxi didn’t love her.Weeping, she peeled off her own scales, leaving herself a bloody mess, trying to become human like Yunxi, so they could be together forever.A story of survival on a deserted island, and falling in love with a mermaid along the way.
