Luring the Green Snake

· A vicious green snake demon × the cool, innocent Fahai

Xiaoqing is a snake demon who cultivated a human form. For five hundred years, she has had only her sister for company, and she's lazy and carefree by nature.

She follows her sister to Hangzhou to find their benefactor, where she unexpectedly meets the monk Fahai.

Xiaoqing's first impression of Fahai is terrible: an unreasonable monk who hates demons.

Fahai's first impression of Xiaoqing is just as bad: a vicious snake demon who won't quit until she's teased someone into blushing.

They are rivals who squabble whenever they meet, once briefly allies who argued constantly, and roommates who spent two months together in a cave during a blizzard.

When Xiaoqing thinks she and Fahai are friends who would lay down their lives for each other, she accidentally takes liberties with him and is hunted across the land.

To set things right, Xiaoqing uses a time-rewinding artifact to alter that memory.

She's a little dejected that they become strangers, but that's better than being hunted.

One day, Xiaoqing meets a man who looks remarkably like Fahai, with long black hair and an exceptionally handsome, refined face.

From then on, Xiaoqing keeps running into him. Broad-shouldered, slim-waisted, and long-legged, he treats her with warm kindness and smiles at her with gentle, dark eyes.

By some inexplicable twist of fate, Xiaoqing is captivated. She buys a private residence and shares a night of passion with him again and again.

The man keeps asking when she'll take him back to her hometown to marry him.

Xiaoqing feels a vague unease. She sneaks back to Hangzhou and learns that Fahai has long since left the monastery, and no one knows where he went.

A voice sounds from behind her. "Xiaoqing, you've finally recognized me."

The man who was in her bed just yesterday gazes at her with a smile. "Let's go back to Linyu Mountain."
