[Beast//human, happy ending, height difference, size difference]
On a late-night walk, Lan Shiyu found a black python on the verge of death and took it home.
She only wanted to save it out of kindness. She named it Mo Xie, bought it an extra-large dog bed, and wiped it down.
Then one day, the bathroom door opened, and a naked man stood in the steam, drenched from head to toe, nearly 2.1 meters tall, with golden vertical pupils. He said to her, frozen in shock:
“I'm Mo Xie.”
Only then did Lan Shiyu realize that the creature she'd brought home wasn't an ordinary animal at all.
He was an ancient beastman who had escaped from a top-secret research institute. Every scale on his body concealed secrets powerful enough to turn the world upside down.
It was an accident that she had found him, but she was no longer an accident to him. She was the person he wanted to protect.
The research institute's pursuit was relentless. Investigators disguised as community workers came knocking on her door again and again. Meanwhile, Mo Xie's body was on the verge of collapse after he had forced himself to grow up. The only way to survive was to find the five snake eggs he had lost.
And Lan Shiyu, an ordinary girl who loved good food and animals, clenched her fists when she discovered she had been under surveillance the whole time.
“I picked you up,” she told the giant black python coiled in the shadows. “So I'll take responsibility for you to the very end.”
Even if that means standing against the whole world.
This is a story about a “pet and owner” relationship gradually changing into something more: a love story that begins with a rescue and becomes an escape where they face life and death together.
It's also a love story about a heroine and an ancient black python beastman protecting each other amid pursuit and conspiracy.
“What if it can turn into a person?”
“Then I'll be the richest person in the world tomorrow.”
Later, Lan Shiyu learned that some things are better left unsaid.
I just think this book is beautiful! It's not too much to comment on yourself! It's not too much to cheer yourself up! Even if others think it's average, that doesn't matter. I must give it a five-star rating!
