Beauty of the Beast World, Determined to Keep Her Husband in Line Every Day

[Dual Male Leads + Beastmen + Scheming + Mercenary + Equally Matched]

Mostly sweet, with plenty of romance. (The rating is low because the leads switch roles, and a side character has multiple partners.)

(There are both modern-day and beast-world settings, with more time spent in the beast world.)

While carrying out his final mission in Africa, mercenary Pei Jingxing happened upon a little snake with beautiful markings. He'd never liked animals like that, but this time he found he didn't mind one bit.

Then Pei Jingxing discovered the little snake could turn into a human, and realized... he'd fallen for him.

He tried every trick he could think of to flirt with his little white snake, and finally got a response.

“Pei Jingxing! I'm the male in this relationship, got it?!”

“Of course. I wholeheartedly agree.”

“Then let me be on top for once.”

“...” He gave a faintly amused smile. “Not likely.”

A chance meeting, a tangled story, and an ending waiting to be found.

Old Pei: “Honey, how about just one cigarette?”

Young Pei, hands on hips: “No! I'm the head of this household, and you're going to listen to me. Quit smoking!”

Old Pei was troubled. Ever since his little snake started laying down the law, he'd lost all his standing. But he was happy, too. If his little snake wanted to keep him in line, he was sure to indulge him in other ways as well.
