Other people are born either black or white, but I'm the one and only spotted snake cub in the Serpent Clan.
My parents are handsome and beautiful snakefolk, and my older siblings are heaven-blessed prodigies. But after five hundred years, I still haven't taken human form. The whole clan agrees I'm a useless little thing.
Yet they don't look down on me at all. They spoil me rotten:
My eldest brother brings me thousand-year-old spirit fruit, my second brother keeps watch while I cultivate, and my sister sews me a spotted little dress by hand. Even the aloof Black Dragon King tucks me into his arms to protect me.
After three hundred years of slacking off and watching my siblings take human form and ascend one by one, I finally came to my senses. No! I have to work hard. I can't let my family down after all their love!
So I started eating and cultivating nonstop, munching spirit fruit and basking in spirit sunlight. Then, at my five-hundredth birthday banquet, I accidentally burst into a round little girl's human form.
Even more absurdly, my spotted scales turned out to come from the bloodline of an ancient auspicious beast!
The Black Dragon King, Mo Yuan, blushed to the tips of his ears as he pulled me into his arms. “Good little snake, I'll spoil you from now on.”
I tilted my head and munched on a candied hawthorn skewer. “But I still want to slack off.”
Mo Yuan chuckled and brushed his fingertips across my spotted cheek. “That's fine. With me here, you can always be the most carefree little spotted snake.”
Beloved by the whole family + Sweet romance + No angst
Lazy little snake × overprotective Black Dragon King. A lifetime of carefree days, with sweetness off the charts!
