Help! I Transmigrated into a Snake and Got Kept as a Pet

[Unconventional transmigration + original worldbuilding + adored by all + salvation + a touch of ensemble cast + heroine with a hidden identity + hero starts righteous and turns evil (contrasting sides, villain)]

Ye Xi transmigrated into a snake.

There were so many snakes all around her. Yes, snakes, not fish.

Hahahaha, happy about that?

Of course she was! She could only die first and ask questions later!

*

Ye Xi was lying peacefully, waiting to die...

Oh, she couldn't die just yet.

Someone wanted to keep her?!

"If you're willing, I can raise you and be your fa..."

Ye Xi: "! What? This isn't quite what I thought 'keep' meant!"

*

Her benefactor was no ordinary person. He was the young sect leader of the Yun clan of Lingshan, the foremost sect?

That still didn't mean she could call him her fa... right?

What? She had to choose between being a snake and choosing him?

Then of course she would... choose him, choose him, choose him!

*

Just a few days after Ye Xi finally started living the good life, her benefactor was about to die?

And she couldn't inherit his fortune?

Because the fortune was going to die too?

The whole sect was going to be wiped out?

*

Absolutely not!

She, Ye Xi, would not stand for it. Neither her benefactor nor his fortune was allowed to die!!

*

Oh no, a snake was too weak to change anything?

Then she just wouldn't be a snake anymore.

What would she be instead?

Obviously... a mighty cultivator who could beat you until you cried for your parents!

No cookie-cutter formula here. She only goes after the hero. There are planted clues and original worldbuilding, coercion and resistance to coercion too. I'm terrible at writing blurbs, so please check out the story itself.
