My dad said I was the Serpent God's bride, born to marry him.
I refused to believe it. But after I brought my boyfriend back to the village, the dream of a giant snake coiling around me became reality.
My gentle, refined boyfriend transformed into the sinister, obsessive Serpent God.
It turned out that from the moment I left the village,
he had been coveting me.
Dressed in wedding red, I knelt in the ancestral hall as my boyfriend murmured tenderly in my ear, “Happy wedding day, my bride.”
