   🤤🥰🥰🤤The male lead is a little snake (with an alternate identity) that the female lead picked up and took home. The female lead keeps the snake as a pet, while the male lead treats the female lead like his wife.🤣 The male lead is a total drama queen, always imagining things. In the early stages, he sneaks out, falls into a lake, and becomes mentally impaired, only remembering his wife. After losing his memory, he only dares to secretly ask for his wife's kisses and sleep in her bed. He regains his memory in chapter 23, and then he's all sweet and gentle, constantly vying for his wife's affection, chasing after her for recognition. His heart flies away whenever his wife appears. ⸜(* ॑꒳ˆ * )⋆*❤︎ During his heat cycle, he hangs on a tree to endure it, transforms into a black snake, and uses his tail to steal clothes from his wife. He even compares whose tail is smoother and more tactile with the kitten the female lead adopted. By the way, was he some kind of intelligent creature before he lost his memory? 😂😂
