"The Mermaid" is a classic tale of falling in love with the wrong person. Liu Xuan (Deng Chao) buys a wildlife reserve that requires sonar technology to raze the area, which will wipe out the merpeople currently living there. The thing is, Xuan doesn't seem bothered. Shan (Lin Yun) is sent by her fellow merpeople to kill Xuan to prevent the erasure of her kinfolk. Unlike all merpeople, Shan is able to blend in with humans because of her unique ability to use her fins like feet. But when she actually meets Xuan, she accidentally falls in love with him — and the feeling is mutual.
