   The male lead is a snake lord, and the female lead is a time traveler carrying the male lead's child. She and the second male lead are involved in tormenting the male lead. It's a very fantastical romance; I really love it. The author's plot is logically sound, the writing is excellent, and the story is fast-paced. The female lead is exactly what I wanted to see—not weak, not stupid, and very proactive.
