The Disabled Tyrant's Beloved Pet Fish: Canji Baojun De Zhangxin Yu Chong (Novel) Vol. 1 | Xue Shan Fei Hu

When Li Yu falls asleep reading a webnovel about a ruthless, mute tyrant falling in love with a dainty male concubine, he doesn't expect to wake up inside the world of the novel--especially not as a fish! Li Yu soon finds himself adopted as Prince Jing's pet carp, tasked by a less-than-helpful Magic System with preventing the prince from becoming a cruel tyrant. If he can accomplish this mission, Li Yu will regain his human form. Yet how can he succeed from inside a fish bowl?!

This ended up being super cute and pretty silly. It has some similarities with The Scum Villain's Self-Saving System, but the relationship is less problematic, and Li Yu knows Prince Jing is gay. (Unclear whether he realises he himself is, but he was reading a queer novel when he transmigrated.) I had a lot of fun.

A first glimpse of Li Yu's human form! What a cheeky face. Prince Jing looks a little captivated, despite thinking this boy has stolen his beloved fish...

Ooooooof, some serious embarrassment squick for a bit there (end of chapter 11). Criiiiinge. Luckily it didn't linger *too* much on the cringe, but oof.

This danmei sounds absolutely nuts. It doesn't start out well for Li Yu, the pet fish of the title -- Shen Qingqiu in Scum Villain thinks he's got problems?! Li Yu's a FISH!

I'm enjoying this so far, though of course the romance potential is currently veeeery limited, because Li Yu's a fish and Prince Jing can't talk.
