I always thought I was an ordinary person. At seven, I learned I could never be human, because I was a human-demon hybrid. Well, half human and half demon. On my sixteenth birthday, I discovered I wasn't an ordinary hybrid at all. I was a snake, and not just any snake, but the Snake Emperor? Those beads shattered into nine pieces: do I really have to find them all? The Heavenly Mandate's Lost Pearls, reunited as one... Wait, how could I not be a snake?
