Light Through the Scales

A little white snake who stumbled into the human world vs. Doctor Xu, who makes life worth living

After an accident, a little white snake who had lived freely in the wild encounters Bai Yi, a girl who died by suicide. Borrowing Bai Yi’s body, she gets her first taste of human life, and her innocent antics lead to one funny mishap after another: hibernating, eating once every three days and treating it as enough for three days, mistaking a high-speed train for a white dragon... The arrival of the gentle doctor Xu Xi’an lets her experience human warmth. But her older sister, Zhu Xiaoqing, keeps tightening the pressure, dragging the little white snake into the vortex surrounding Bai Yi’s death. When the bloody truth tears away the darkness beneath the city’s neon glow, the little white snake who once treasured a bandage wrapper as if it were candy must finally choose between her demonic nature, her humanity, and a web of lies. Whose substitute is she, and for whom does she live?
