[The main story and extra chapters are both complete. Come enjoy the sweetness!]
Xu Shuangshuang, a sweet and gentle girl who has transmigrated for several years yet remains a nobody, accidentally saves a badly injured little white snake in the mountains.
From then on, she gains a well-behaved, beautiful demon companion named Xiaohua.
Xiaohua is very handsome and skilled in magic, yet never conceited. He is shy and bashful, and whenever he talks to her, his face turns red and his words stumble.
He is so innocent and adorable
that she naturally feels she must be a responsible friend and protect him well.
Then, years late, the System comes online, and she learns that she has actually transmigrated into a web novel, where she is the early-dead first wife of the overpowered male lead.
She will sacrifice herself for love, only to be eaten by the thousand-year-old evil dragon demon of Yushan.
But when she finds herself in a strange, dilapidated mountain god temple,
with every muscle tense and her nose almost touching that of a gigantic, jade-eyed white dragon coiled around a pillar in the pool,
the infamous Yushan Dragon Demon, said to be wicked and man-eating, only blinks his emerald vertical pupils and pants dragon breath like a big dog, carefully rubbing his snout against her palm.
Then, in a familiar, affectionate voice, he softly calls her, "Shuangshuang..."
Xu Shuangshuang: ...Huh?
The fearsome Yushan Dragon Demon, Bai Tan, has a little secret hidden in his heart.
He has someone he secretly likes.
Being able to talk to her, being able to become her "friend," is already such a stroke of luck...
He cannot possibly ask for more.
But just when he thinks he can spend his whole life quietly staying by her side as Xiaohua,
his true form is exposed.
She looks so panicked, so helpless,
so... afraid...
Only then does he understand:
Xiaohua can be a little demon, but cannot be a great demon,
at least not a great demon like him.
In the end, the friend she has always had is Xiaohua the little white snake, not Bai Tan, the Yushan Dragon Demon.
He was such a fool.
As searing pain burns through his body and the broken horn on his forehead appears once more, he can only curl up helplessly in the depths of a lightless cavern, not daring to move.
If only he were not a dragon demon.
He wants to be a blade of grass or a flower by her side. He wants to feel her gaze, bright with laughter, and to become the first spring breeze to brush her cheek.
Anything but this ugly form that frightens her.
Suddenly, a warm, soft touch, light as a feather, falls on his forehead...
In the dim cavern, a young woman in green kneels before the curled-up black figure,
close enough to share each other's breath, gazing intently into those dewy, emerald-like eyes.
"I'm sorry. Don't be mad. I'm not afraid of you," she says carefully, watching the long, thick lashes of the person before her flutter like butterfly wings.
"You'll always be my Xiaohua... Believe me, okay?"
After a long while, the young man, who seemed about to disappear into the darkness, suddenly turns away, his eyes red.
Slowly, he raises a hand and tentatively points to his forehead.
"...Then, could you... kiss me one more time...?"
In the end, Xu Shuangshuang becomes a true Dragon-Ao who can ride a dragon (doge).
An occasionally timid, sweet and gentle girl who strives to stand on her own x a well-behaved, sweet, insecure, loyal puppy.
One-on-one romance, happy ending.
A silly couple in love, sweet, innocent, and tender. The authentic flavor of the Frog Can Factory brand: those who have tried it will understand. (Thumbs up.)
The cover is my own illustration. It shows my darling Shuangshuang and the "snake" who loves clinging to her.

Coming soon: My Demon Lord Calls Me His Wife
Pei Lili, a born wage slave, is still working even after she transmigrates into a book.
She transmigrates into a badly concluded xianxia novel, where her direct superior is Xiao Ling, the biggest villain in the story, the Demon Lord.
Xiao Ling has skin as white as snow, black hair and black clothes, and is tall and handsome. His moods are unpredictable, fitting every standard Demon Lord villain trope.
And she is the little attendant who works tirelessly by the Demon Lord's side.
She has to serve tea and water to her Virgo Demon Lord, report information about the male and female leads with endless chatter, and make sarcastic remarks at the righteous faction to cheer on the Demon Lord whenever he appears. She is responsible for...
Wait, the plot never said she had to warm his bed too!
Pei Lili really hopes she can just be a nobody. She would be fine with staying a cannon-fodder underling of the Demon Lord forever.
Unfortunately, she is actually a failed undercover agent for the righteous faction, and the Demon Lord will discover her early in the story and crush her skull.
The System comforts her: if she can just survive this part of the plot, she can come back to life in this world and live as an ordinary person. It asks her to hang on a little longer.
Fine.
On the night of the blood moon, Pei Lili is exposed as an undercover agent and brought before the Demon Lord. With her eyes closed, she repeats to herself:
[My head is a watermelon. My head is a watermelon. My head is a watermelon...]
Before her head can burst like a watermelon, Pei Lili suddenly feels someone lean toward her.
She cracks open one eye and sees Xiao Ling's handsome face looming close. But... why does the Demon Lord look like he's about to cry?
His usual cool, deep voice rings out, but this time it seems to carry a faint tremor, tightly restrained with all his might.
"Wife, why are you betraying me too?"
Pei Lili: ...Huh?

It's true that since I was a child, I thought the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl were a horror story.
Comrades who want to draw illustrations, please be careful. Repeating one picture three or four times is commonplace, which gave me a little heart attack. I have obsessive-compulsive disorder, so don't imitate me.
Ah ah ah ah, will you touch your tail, tail, tail? Sitting on the couch, her eyes were filled with tears after being touched. While she was saying no, Ai Ai was trying to refuse, but she still pushed her tail into her hand.
I'm curious how Bai Xi and Jin Yuli are doing
I've read every book you've finished [][][]
Wow wow wow, is this role misplaced? It's actually a female speaker. Are you sure she's not a female protagonist? But I like it so much. If the heroine becomes like this or that, wouldn't the hero be a snake? There should be 2? Ahem, cough, cough, but this time it's JJ's sweet article and I shouldn't be able to see it, woo woo woo
These two squirming children, their mouths are really long in vain. They finally made it clear. I don't think they can talk, so they might as well just kiss each other.
Huh, it turns out he's not his father. He's so dangerous. He's also a pathetic and hateful person. Alas [holding his chin]
So Xiaohua uses two? Or one?
