Name: The Dragon-Locking Well and the Snake Immortal in the Painting
Author: October in April

Synopsis

My name is Su Luoqing. I was born in the ancient village of Dragon Guardians, where our people have guarded a well for generations.

Legend says an evil dragon that has cultivated for thousands of years is sealed beneath it. Every year on the second day of the second lunar month, a special ritual must be performed to appease the dragon.

On the second day of the second lunar month, when the dragon raises its head, rain poured for a whole month, nearly submerging Dragon Guardians Village. Then, during a violent thunderstorm, lightning struck the chains sealing the well and snapped them.

That night, the giant serpent in the old house's mural suddenly opened its blood-red eyes and flew into my room.

After that, every night the villagers heard sounds from my room that made their faces burn and hearts race, while I had no idea what was happening. Until that night, when I clearly saw the giant serpent from the mural transform into my likeness and walk toward me…

I was pushed into the well three times. The last time, after I came of age, I finally saw what he looked like. He said, “Don't be afraid. I'm here.” But when disaster struck, he said, “Want me to save you? Get on your knees!”
