Jiang Li is a snake spirit who cultivated a human form and lives among humans. But once a month, during his transformation period, he loses control and reverts to his true form.
And this time, something went wrong: a human named Lu Yan mistook him for a pet reptile, took him home, and shut him in a glass tank. He became "Xiao Li."
A heating pad, live pinkie mice, and someone murmuring to him through the glass every day... This man was raising him as if he were a real little creature.
Jiang Li was furious and mortified, coiled up in a coconut shell and plotting his escape. But the more he watched, the more something felt off. Lu Yan looked at him far too earnestly.
Then, on the night of the full moon, a burst of white light shattered the glass tank, and Jiang Li finally stood before Lu Yan in human form.
He waited for the man to scream, run away, or call the police.
But Lu Yan only took off his coat, wrapped it around him, and calmly asked:
"Have you... forgotten me?"
Jiang Li's slit pupils narrowed sharply. Suddenly, he remembered: many years ago, when he was still a wild snake, a boy had held him in his hands and released him into the grass.
That boy had said the same thing back then:
"Do you want to come home with me?"
It turned out he had been searching for him all these years.
