Thousands of years ago, Su Qingyao, the green snake demon at the bottom of the West Lake, was involved in a rift in time and space to protect her white snake sister Bai Suzhen from a thunderstorm, and fell beside the broken bridge of the West Lake in the midsummer of 2025. Wearing a Song Dynasty skirt and holding an emerald hairpin, she was regarded as a cosplay enthusiast, but she made a lot of jokes because she didn't understand modern rules - she mistakenly used her smartphone as a "demon mirror", spilled pearls all over a customer while working at a milk tea shop, and bumped into Lin Shen in a white coat under an umbrella while delivering food.
Lin Shen is an emergency doctor. Seeing that she was homeless, he took her to the stray cat rescue center that he often visited. Since then, the Millennium Demon has interacted with the modern world: she learned to use WeChat, learn to make milk tea, and learn to work overtime with Lin Shen; he taught her how to recognize the subway, taught her how to watch movies, and taught her that "to love someone is to want to eat many meals with her." The jade hairpin became their love token. The inscription from Lingyin Temple said, "We are destined not to be afraid of monsters for the rest of our lives." Even the stray cat became their "matchmaker."
In the end, Su Qingyao learned the "love" of the world - not the magic that has been practiced for thousands of years, but the soy milk in the morning, the warm lamp in the night, and the baby's first cry. They obtained their marriage certificate, decorated their new house with a "snake cave", and named their baby "Xu Nianqing" (in memory of their thousand-year fate). On the Mid-Autumn Festival night, the two of them held the baby and looked at the moon. Su Qingyao said with a smile: "It turns out that the sweetest thing in the world is not the thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, but the milk tea you gave us and our little life."
