I woke up to find myself as the villain's older sister.

Yun Qingyi, who had been listening silently to the mermaid princess, thought for a moment and asked, "Hmm... what exactly did they say back then?"

Upon hearing this, the mermaid princess seemed to realize something, and a cold glint flashed in her eyes: "They are planning how to kill me."

"Huh? What?" Yun Qingyi was genuinely shocked this time and subconsciously asked, "Doesn't Tuso like you?"

"Ha, I like it." The mermaid princess's eyes were full of sarcasm, and her tone was icy: "I like it, and it's a disgusting kind of liking."

"They don't want me to really die, they just want to imprison me."

"Why would they do this?" Yun Qingrou, who was listening nearby, asked, puzzled.

The mermaid princess lowered her head, seemingly lost in thought, before slowly saying, "Tuso is like my father; on the surface, he is friendly, but in reality, he is obsessive and ambitious."

My father raised me as his heir from a young age, demanding that I do my best in everything. At that time, besides me, Tuso was the most talented merman in the entire merman race.

He learns everything very quickly, and can even understand some of the ancient texts on formations left by the former emperors without anyone knowing.

Therefore, he naturally received special guidance from his father and other seniors, just like me.

The only difference is that I was groomed as my successor, while he was groomed as someone to assist me.

"He was initially very satisfied with this identity and accepted it quickly. However, after spending a long time studying with me, he found that I was not as quick to learn as he was."

So gradually, he began to look down on me. The mermaid princess sighed, "Although he tried to be subtle at the time, we were still just children, and he didn't hide it very well. And I'm quite perceptive, so I easily noticed his contempt."

"At first, I just thought that smart people are naturally arrogant, and besides, he was indeed more talented than me in learning merman spells, so I didn't think much of it."

I felt that if I could improve my relationship with him, he wouldn't see me that way anymore.

As she spoke, the mermaid princess said in a somewhat sullen tone, "I just didn't expect that not only did he look down on me, but later I discovered that he also coveted my position as heir."

"When I first found out, I didn't take it to heart. After all, my father was there, and even though he really wanted to, he could only dream about it."

Later, for some reason, his hostility towards me seemed to lessen, and he started treating me very well, to the point of trying to please me in every way. I was young then and didn't understand the intricacies of human relationships.

Although there was a brief moment of doubt about this sudden kindness, the novelty naturally overshadowed the initial doubts, as it was someone who had once been aloof and self-righteous, now humbled himself.

Looking back now, I realize his desire to replace me never changed, and he succeeded.

The mermaid princess sighed: "He is indeed very ambitious, and his strength matches his ambition. A man like him can lie low for decades and then effectively deliver the final blow to his enemy."

To be honest, although he's my rival, I really admire him.

At the same time, she felt a strong aversion to it. The mermaid princess lowered her eyes and silently murmured to herself, feeling nauseous just thinking about it.

After pausing for a moment, she raised her head and continued, "He could have successfully taken over my position as heir back then, but he gave it up in front of all the merfolk."

The reason was ridiculous and absurd: he actually said he had fallen in love with me.
