What if the little mermaid exchanged her tail for legs not to marry the prince but to kill him and marry the princess?

It’s the 1600s and attacks from the land against the sea have wiped out Akira’s family and most of her kind. The Crown Prince of Tsvain, a country based on dynasty-era Taiwan, is the one leading these atrocities prompting Akira to take a potion that allows her to walk the land and take revenge. Upon discovering that the prince fears losing power more than he fears death, Akira turns the princess against him and helps her steal his throne.

She’s trapped in her least favorite novel… and as the antagonist.
