Hi everyone! I've come back to this novel to once again try to tell the story of Zhen Feng, the disciplined and stern Crown Prince of a great human empire, and Lin Mei, a mischievous, smart and proud mermaid princess. Although very different, they are still very attracted to each other in an unusual way and end up falling in love in a world where both races are still at odds. If you like eastern-inspired fantasy romances with some drama, a few twists and a tiny bit of angst, this will be for you! I hope you can support this novel because it is the only way I will feel motivated to keep writing. Please give it a try! ;)
If you're into the "enemies to lovers" or "soulmates" then you will find a lot to enjoy with "The Tale of a Pearl." The author successfully creates beautiful descriptions of the physically appealing lead characters, and their interactions come across as natural and flirtatious given the world. The writing has a bit more exposition than I'm used to, and I have a few questions regarding the world-building (such as why the mermen are looking to collect a weapon after that war instead of before or during it). I'm also not used to POV's that swap between characters mid-scene - however, the POV swapping does seem to be a Webnovel staple. Still, the lore surrounding the lead couple adds to their romance. The pros are clean, with a stable tense and solid grammar, allowing for a fast read. I'm curious to know where the story will go and have added: "The Tale of a Pearl" to my library. If you're looking for a quick romance to read, give it a shot. :)
