(As told by the protagonist)
My name is Xiang Xiaoshuai, and I'm the biggest chatterbox in the primordial world. One day, I couldn't keep my mouth shut and tried chatting up a snake. It swallowed me.
I thought I'd end up as elephant bone soup, but the snake said it couldn't bear to digest me.
So I lived in its stomach for three thousand years, livestreaming, decorating, and reviewing food.
Three thousand years later, the sky fell. It used its body to plug the rift and asked me if I would leave.
I said, “I'm not leaving. If we die, we die together.”
This is a story about not being able to let go.
