The Scientist Xu Xian: From the Start, He Dissects the White Snake Lady for Research
Xu Xuan, a medical student, was struck by lightning at Leifeng Pagoda and turned into Xu Xian. The first thing he did after waking up was take a DNA sample from Bai Suzhen.
When they met at the broken bridge, he saw right through the White Snake Lady's rainmaking technique. “Heard of cloud seeding? Want me to write you a paper on it?”
When the White Snake revealed her true form, he eagerly pulled out a scalpel. “A thousand-year-old snake demon! Blood sample or tissue slice?”
After they married, he developed an inhibitor for realgar, created antibiotics for demons, and turned Bao'an Hall into a chain of clinics spanning the Three Realms.
When Fahai came to kill him with his golden alms bowl, Xu Xian pulled out a microscope. “Master, have you checked whether the microbes in your bowl are above the limit?”
The waters flood Jinshan Temple? He immediately activated his flood-control plan. “Wife, how about trying scientific water management?”
**Genre:** Long-form web novel (fantasy, mythology, romance, transmigration, light comedy)
**Core premise:**
1. **Protagonist:**
* **Xu Xian (Xu Xuan):** A top modern medical student whose soul transmigrates into the world of *The Legend of the White Snake*, where he becomes Xu Xian, a scholar in Qiantang County during the Southern Song Dynasty. He possesses expert knowledge of modern medicine, biology, and chemistry, as well as a scientific mindset. He is rational, insatiably curious (especially when faced with unknown creatures or phenomena), and has a penchant for dry commentary. He is devoted to love, though his way of expressing it can come across as blunt and insensitive. Golden finger: exceptional learning ability (he quickly understands the principles behind magic and tries to explain or apply them “scientifically”) and a latent ability to “break magic with science” (his rational thinking can somewhat disrupt or weaken low-level spells based on the principle that “belief makes it real”).
