Ngl novel scarred me for a life. Manhua is far far far mild. I enjoy messed up dark tropes but this novel... it's whole another level. I even dropped it for a while
It is called Desharow merman

I think ML used to have thing for MC in high school
He started has feelings for him after their reunion. Iirc, he realised his feelings almost at the end of the main story.
Their relationship in highschool, how do I say it... They noticed each other but doesn't interfere with each other.
However, both of them do something that changes the life of each other but they don't realise it during highschool.











Acting all high and mighty yet crawling at the very sight of the mere mortal prince
