I was once a golden snake from the Southern Hills. One day, I ventured out and was accidentally frozen stiff. Luckily, a young boy came to my rescue. I returned to the mountain and cultivated for several thousand years, eventually taking human form. Then I met my savior again, after he had lived through ten lifetimes. The boy was named Sun Hui. At the time, his father, an official, had been framed and thrown into prison. Sun Hui's mother fell ill from worry and died in sorrow. Her dying wish was for Sun Hui to go to the capital and pass the imperial examinations. But on the way, Sun Hui was hunted by the enemy who had framed his father. Fortunately, I saved him in my human form. We met, fell in love at first sight, and agreed to see each other again on the day the results were posted. I secretly escorted Sun Hui to the capital, where he took the exams and passed at the top of the list. I was overjoyed and arrived early to meet him on announcement day. But the princess, who was seeking a prince consort, took a liking to the top scholar, Sun Hui. Sun Hui said his heart belonged to someone else, but the princess threatened him with his father's life. Desperate to save his father, Sun Hui had no choice but to agree. This was where I had fallen in my previous life. My master, the White Snake Immortal, had permitted me to descend the mountain and fulfill my destined romance. If I failed, I was to return and accept my punishment: a sword through the heart. This time, I couldn't let myself die in vain. I had come to fulfill our past-life bond. I couldn't give up. Now that I was reborn, what could I do to turn things around?
