Synopsis

It must have been late spring. The dusk seemed especially dark that day, and the words on the pages were hard to make out. Through the half-open window, rain began to fall in a fine drizzle. Carried by the gentle breeze, the light rain slipped in through the window, slowly soaking the ink on the page. It spread out, and on closer inspection, it looked like the character for “umbrella.” From somewhere in the distance came the clear sound of a zither, breaking off and starting again, breaking off and starting again, rising from somewhere and fading somewhere else. Thin wisps of smoke curled from the incense burner and dispersed into an invisible veil, like the tangled joys and sorrows of the mortal world, too complicated to explain from the beginning. Where does a fated bond, a story, begin, and where does it end? Endless drizzle, a paper umbrella opened overhead. My story began beneath an umbrella, and ended beneath one.==============================================================A gentle White Snake seme X devoted Green Snake uke, first-person narration, seme POV. I kept wondering whether to classify this as original fiction or fanfic. I originally planned to tag it as fanfic, but... the characters’ personalities, names, and genders have all changed, so I’m not tagging it as fanfic after all. It isn’t too angsty, though there will be some twists later. It borrows just a tiny bit of plot from Legend of the White Snake, just a tiny bit (/▽╲) Theme:

For the monk, Bai is not the inner demon, but love! It's just that he has never dared to face his heart, thinking that as long as he eliminates demons, defends the way, and follows the so-called justice in his heart, he can cut off this unwanted emotion. But who can say the word love clearly? If the monk can follow his heart and Bai It was better to be together than to have ten lifetimes of cultivation destroyed in one day. However, the tragedy between them was destined to be tragic from the very beginning when he kept Bai Dai by his side to protect him. The monk himself chose a cliff that knew there was a dead end ahead, but he still moved forward willingly. Their endings were disappointing.

It feels like a combination of the folklore drama White Snake and Li Bihua's Green Snake, except that Xu Xian has an extra fiancée. In the storybook, it is the tower pushed by Green Snake.

It's been a while since I've been back to read the article. Turns out it's finished (･ิϖ･ิ). The little monk died in Xiao Gong's hands, so he died without any regrets.
