Tensei Ningyo Hime wa Awa ni Natte Kietakunai

An ordinary college student suddenly finds her life turned upside down when she is reincarnated into the world of a familiar fairy tale. Awakening as the Little Mermaid from the story she once read in her previous life, she quickly realizes the grim fate that awaits her if she fails to follow the original narrative. In the classic tale, the mermaid's unrequited love leads to a tragic end, dissolving into sea foam. Armed with the knowledge of this doomed conclusion, she refuses to accept such a fleeting and sorrowful destiny. Despite understanding the stakes, she faces a significant personal hurdle: she has no genuine affection for the prince. Having never known him before her reincarnation, the idea of winning his heart feels entirely foreign and uninspiring. However, survival instincts quickly override her lack of romantic interest. Determined not to fade away into nothingness, she resolves to use every ounce of her strength and cunning to capture the prince's heart. Driven by a desperate desire to live, she embarks on a fierce campaign to rewrite her tragic ending, proving that she will do absolutely anything to avoid disappearing into the ocean's foam.
