    The night was as dark as ink, thick and impenetrable. On the rafters of the mud house, a three-foot-long jade snake coiled silently. Its tongue flickered, sensing the steady breathing of the Chen family members and the increasingly intense, eerie aura outside the window. "Would you be willing to become the dragon of my house, to protect it?" These were the first words Lin Buzhi heard upon regaining consciousness. The next second, he was horrified to find himself transformed into a slippery body clinging to the rafters, without hands or feet, only covered in cold scales. This absurd reality of being reborn as a snake left him frozen in shock for a long time. Fragments of memories surged through his mind like blood bubbles—he remembered being an ordinary programmer, working overtime until the early hours, and being hit by a truck while saving a calico cat crossing the road… "I… am dead?" Lin Buzhi tried to speak, but only managed a hissing sound. In terror, he twisted his body, the jade scales shimmering strangely in the moonlight, like fine jade. Beneath the rafters, Old Man Chen's snores were even and long. Lin Buzhi then noticed the rustic furnishings: rough pottery bowls, a kerosene lamp, a hand-woven straw mat... It was clearly a rural scene from decades ago. Suddenly, a bone-chilling cold crept up his scales. Lin Buzhi abruptly raised his snake head, his golden vertical pupils constricting—something was moving outside the window. It wasn't the wind, nor an animal, but a twisted black shadow, slowly writhing against the window frame. "Demon... Evil..." These two words inexplicably surfaced in Lin Buzhi's mind. At the same time, he felt a strange power surge within him, and the scents his forked tongue detected suddenly became incredibly clear: the peaceful sleeping scent of the Chen family, the smoldering smell of embers from the stove, the bitter smell of Chinese medicine from the medicine pot... And the stench of rotting earth mixed with blood outside the window. Lin Buzhi unconsciously tensed his snake body, assuming an attack posture. Beneath his emerald scales, some ancient power was awakening.
