Hidden Scale: The Origin of the White Mermaid
About this drama
The source for this entry is a synopsis of four hundred thirty-eight characters in three sentences, a middle-length source, and two transcription facts come first: the source marks its parent series with a pair of asterisks, around Awakening of the White-Scaled Mermaid, the first starred emphasis of the session, rendered here without the marks and with the series named plainly; and the entry's name carries a colon, recorded as printed. The source reads: as a prequel to the hit series Awakening of the White-Scaled Mermaid, after Prince Caelus of the White Tides sacrificed himself to protect her, Princess Nishang of the Golden Scales secretly conceived their child, Marina; to safeguard her unborn baby, Nishang married King Titan, the usurper, and used forbidden magic to conceal Marina's white scales; and she then orchestrated the downfall of the villain Aurelia to secure Marina's future. The ending is stated in compressed form, one villain's downfall secured and the child's future closed inside a prequel's setup frame, with the marriage to the usurper and the concealment's cost left standing around it, disclosed here as compressed. Three catalog facts frame the entry. The run is one hundred seven episodes, the longest of the batch by a wide margin and the session's longest run, standing alone at that length, past the previous session high of eighty-one. The registry column lists 6 against the API's one hundred seven, the widest split of the batch at one hundred one, part of this batch's systematic split between free counts and full counts, disclosed with the API figure used here. The counter reads 338 views, seventh of twenty, in the upper half, on the session's longest run. The byline is Virtual Soap Dramas, its only appearance in this batch, and the platform marks the series completed.
