After I Transmigrated into a Book, I Was Told Not to Pet Snakes on a Whim

[I've been hospitalized recently and need spinal surgery. I should start again around September, so it'll be delayed a little.] The first three chapters are ready. If you'd like to preview them, message me on Weibo.

After transmigrating into a book, Jiang Mian becomes a minor character in a cultivation novel, destined to be sacrificed as an afternoon snack for an ancient evil demon.

To stay alive, she keeps away from the main plot and its troubles.

One day, by a twist of fate, she is forced to save a little black snake that was about to be used as an ingredient.

Everyone advises her, "Black snakes are cold-hearted and vicious. They're not suitable as pets."

Jiang Mian: QAQ You think I don't know that?

After raising it for a while:

Well-fed, gentle-tempered, and happy to be petted: check.

Clingy, loves cuddles, and easy to carry: check.

Hits every one of her monster-lover buttons: check.

Jiang Mian's eyes light up. "This is my dream pet."

She takes meticulous care of it, feeds it all sorts of things, and never leaves its side.

The little snake treats her well too. It can grow big or small, turn human or demon, and joins her as she fights her way through every obstacle.

Then one day, she unexpectedly learns that her beloved little snake is actually the evil demon Xuan Shuobai, who will swallow her whole.

A beautiful, powerful, and tragic Supreme Evil Demon, he will ultimately destroy heaven and earth.

Jiang Mian has just one thought:

Run. If not now, when?

But a thick black tail tightens around her waist, its tip slipping into her palm.

Beside her ear, Xuan Shuobai's voice is low and seductive. "Mianmian, you can touch my tail. Then you won't be scared."

Only later does Jiang Mian understand that in the original story, "swallowing her whole" was just a euphemism for a fade-to-black scene. :)
