I Left Behind a Snake Egg and Faked My Death, Then My Senior Sister Went Mad

·Fake death, regret and redemption arc. Complete, with child-rearing extras. Currently revising. ·The regret-and-redemption arc begins in Chapter 22. My new book is out next door. Please check it out! Jiang Chun'ai accidentally enters a secret realm. Circumstances force her to become intimate with a woman who has a fox's tail. The woman has snowy skin and black hair, her body pure as ice and snow. Their bodies entwine, and desire fills every movement. She is also the senior sister Jiang Chun'ai admires most, Hanxiao. After that night, their relationship shifts in subtle ways: By day, Hanxiao is as cold as snow. But when night falls and all is quiet, she turns into a hissing snake and seeks Jiang Chun'ai's warmth. Night after night, they entwine and press against each other, just as they did that night. Though her senior sister remains calm and distant during the day, Jiang Chun'ai assumes she simply isn't good with words. So Jiang Chun'ai gives in to this forbidden fruit, keeping Hanxiao's identity as a demon a secret. * While searching for a birthday gift for Hanxiao, Jiang Chun'ai is ambushed, and her companions leave her behind to seek help. But the one who arrives is Hanxiao, sword in hand, looking down on all beneath her. The supposed plea for help was just an excuse to leave her to die; The nights they spent entwined were nothing but a means to replenish Hanxiao's energy; And in the heart of her precious, beloved Senior Sister Hanxiao, Jiang Chun'ai mattered no more than an ant; The sword Jiang Chun'ai had polished day and night out of love for Hanxiao was finally plunged into her own body, leaving her drenched in blood. Those cold looks had never been an act. Hanxiao simply didn't love her. Jiang Chun'ai decided she would never love Hanxiao again. * Fortunately, Jiang Chun'ai wasn't fated to die. She returns to the world of the living. Only then does she learn that Hanxiao is a demon king sealed in the secret realm for millions of years. Once free, she massacres the immortal sects. But so what? Even if Hanxiao searches the heavens and the depths of hell, the two of them will never have anything to do with each other again. Sharing feelings with an unfeeling demon could never end well. Otherwise, why would Jiang Chun'ai, after "dying," see Hanxiao risk her life to tear open her coffin, dressed in white wedding robes, swearing to be with her dead wife for all eternity, and feel so happy? What a tragic, exquisite scene. Too bad it has nothing to do with her anymore. #Yearning never lets up, so how could I find time to curse you?# * Hanxiao was born a demon and spent millions of years in the chaos of the underworld, never knowing what love was. That all ended when she killed the junior sister who was always clinging to her. She seemed to understand human feelings at last, staring in shock at the tears on her palm. She could spend millions of years in a daze, but this moment demanded that she see clearly and understand. * Hanxiao thought she was incapable of love, but when that gentle gaze fell on someone else, her heart twisted as if cut by a knife, and she nearly died of it. So she could look at someone else that way too. Hanxiao had never been an exception. Some debts must be repaid before wishes can come true. -- Reading Guide: ● The senior sister, a demon queen, can change forms. Her true form is a snake.
