Crystal Alonzo is a young and lovely lady but born with a curse. She has a tail like a fish which, whenever the sun sets it will turn into a pair of legs and feet, then switches to tail again when the sun rises. Every day she and her parents endure her painful transformation and could only end once they finally find the mysterious bloody pearl, a red pearl known to heal every kind of pain and curse. But this punishment wasn't hers but for her mother, who broke the rules and went up above the surface and fell in love with a human.

Crystal is naive about everything except for the things she has in the Caro Island where they lived, but not until she met Gabriel Anderson,

After a disastrous night with a raging typhoon, the island got an unexpected guest, a very handsome-looking and humble man named Gabriel Anderson.

He will show Crystal everything she hasn't seen and experienced in her life yet and made her feel the most wonderful thing in the whole world that even made her mother break the rules that cause her to be punished.

But how can he be able to thrive on the romance he had with the cursed siren?

PROLOGUE. Cursed Siren
Long ago, deep in the dark blue ocean of the pacific, there lived wonderful creatures who had a body like a human and a tail like a fish. These creatures lived peacefully together with human civilization, but the good foundation between the ocean creatures and humans got stained because of the greedy people who can't be satisfied with what they already have and want more for themselves. They ruined corals and caught too many fish and other marine lives, which is more than the amount they needed. Also, they just let their waste be thrown in different bodies of water, which is destroying a large portion of the water around the world. They tried to talk to humans sincerely about their concerns but they didn't listen. As years passed, humans started building their large engines to conquer the ocean as well and started to bully the poor creatures, until sirens couldn't find their own region above the water. So they decide to settle in the deepest part of the ocean, but the angry ocean spirit is not happy about it at all. She forbids everyone to go above the ocean surface and talk to humans and whoever disobeys her, anyone will be punished. Centuries had passed and no one had ever tried to go up above the water until humans forgot about them and their race became a tale. But a daring and mischievous siren wandered up to the surface to discover new and amazing things about the world. One day, she woke up and discovered the most wonderful element of all when he met Christian, the greatest love of her life. She is Aya, the mother of the cursed siren, Crystal. "Daddy! Please let me come with you to the city, I want to see grandpa, please." Crystal begged, flipping her beautiful green silvery shiny tail, which sparkles every time the ray of sunlight touches it while showing her sweet smile as she swims around her father's wooden canoe. She has long wavy black hair and is wearing a loose strapped top. Yes, unlike other sirens who are barely naked swimming deep in the ocean and wearing nothing on top, she is well oriented about these things since her father is a human and her mother is already used to their living. "Darling, you know I want to, but you should ask your mother if she allows you. I don't want to be scolded, you know." Her father explained, sitting on the boat. "Urgh! You know she's always adamant about my requests." She commented annoyingly and dived deep into the water while her father only chuckled at her attitude. "Crystal! It is almost sunset!" Her father cried, looking down at the clear water while the waves kept on swinging his boat. Suddenly, the canoe moved forward and he smiled, knowing that it was his playful daughter pushing him from below. "Christian! Crystal!" Aya is calling them from the sand, waving in their direction while holding a towel and a dry sundress for her daughter on the other hand. "Father, let's race and if I win, you'll be taking me with you even though mother won't agree. Yeah?" Crystal dare's her father, "This is ridiculous. You know that you always win." But Crystal just ignores his complaint and starts counting. “Alright, three, two, one!” Christian shakes his head unbelievably as he chuckles softly and grabbed his oar. "Ready, and go!" Crystal cried, staying on her spot while she laughed madly at her father who was furiously paddling his boat to the shore. And just before Christian could reach closer to the shore, Crystal started to waggle her tail and swim fast. She surpasses her father in no time and reaches the shallow part of the water first. "Ugh! That was a brutal workout," her father complained playfully while panting heavily as he jumped off the boat. "I won!" Crystal giggles. "Tell me, what is the deal this time?" Aya asked, laughing at them while walking towards them and stopping before the seawater could reach her toes. "Uh, just a piece of tonight's dinner, honey," Christian lied as he pecked on her cheeks, grabbed the towel in her hand, Just when Christian turned to go in Crystal's direction, Aya moved her foot and touched the water with the tip of her toe, "Ouch!" She winced as she felt her skin burnt out by the saltwater. "Are you okay Aya?" Her worried husband quickly asked her, "Ye-yeah! I just stepped on a sharp stone," she lied. "Mom, be careful and please step away from the water" her daughter told her, Aya moved a few steps backwards and sighed, Christian wrapped the towel around his daughter's body and tail and then carried her to the dry sand to wait for the sun to completely set. "Your tail is getting even more beautiful, princess," Christian commented, staring at her tail with amusement in his eyes. "Of course, she's turning eighteen a few days from now and it's time for her tail to unfold its hidden beauty and you should learn to be fine and stop being a childish siren because you're becoming a lady already." Aya playfully pinched Crystal's nose bridge. They chuckle together while Christian turns and looks beyond the sea to watch the sun setting. Crystal took off her wet top and put on the sundress that her mother had brought for her. Aya sat beside her brushing her wet hair while they were waiting for Crystal's transformation. And a few minutes after, just the moment when the sun finally settled, Crystal held on tight to her mother's arm as she endured the pain she was feeling. Cold sweat formed on her forehead while her bones were being cracked and separated to form into two legs and feet while she bited her lower lip to suppress her loud cries. Both parents are keeping their eyes shut while hearing her deep whimpers, while Aya can't help to shed tears, blaming herself for her daughter's misery. "Mom," Crystal wakes her up and wipes the tears from the corner of her eyes. Aya smiled and Christian turned again to face his family, showing them that he was tough, even if the truth, he was completely broken from the core. "We need to find the cure as soon as possible," Aya whispered, holding her daughter's hand. "We will find it, I promise," Christian said, stretching his arms wide and embracing them. "But can we eat first? I'm so starving." Crystal interrupted like she wasn't hurt just a while ago. They laughed together and helped Crystal to get up. They live on an isolated island named Caro. It was miles away from any land and no one other than them had taken a step on it, yet. Christian Alonzo is an inheritor of his family's wealth from the city but left them all behind for love and embraced a simple life with his aquaordinary family. They plant foods for a living, they also have poultry and livestock, and more, but seafood is not on the list of their consumption except for seagrasses and seaweed. Just don't ask why. Their house is made up of wood that Christian personally built with his own human strength and knowledge, since he is an engineer in profession and his only helper is his gorgeous pregnant wife by that time, Aya. It was spectacular with an unbelievable strength that was being proven many times already by some raging typhoon with furiously blowing wind. They also have a small yacht which he uses when there is something important to do and needs to go to the nearest city. It was the only possession he had from his family's wealth before he decided to withdraw his responsibilities to their company. No one in his family knows about Crystal's condition, they have seen her before, when she was younger, but only during the nighttime, when she has her feet and they always have to leave quickly before the sun rises to hide her curse from everyone. Her grandfather is very fond of Crystal, but Christian and Aya want her to keep away from them as much as possible, but now, Mr Teofilo Alonzo wants to see his only son and his family soon and hopes they will accept his invitation before it's too late, for the sake of their family, especially his daughter.
