I Spent All My Savings on a Mermaid—Only to Find Out He Was a Fake

I spent all my savings to bring home a mermaid from the lab, only to find he was a fake. He spent my money, called me poor, and secretly chased an heiress. Then the real S-class mermaid, Lirian, offered a swap. Gentle and obedient, he hid an eight-year-old truth: I was once the bait that trapped him. My clone sister stole my identity—now I will take back my mermaid.
