Does a Corporate Snake Have to Get Caught in a Shura Field Too?

[..] Everyone knows snakes have tiny brains. As a silly snake who stayed silly even after becoming a spirit, Bai Ying was never going to make something of himself in human society. After a hard-won graduation, he smoothly joined the ranks of 996 workers, spending every day at work until he was practically dead while still alive. After getting off work at nine that night, Bai Ying watched a stray cat put on an act for five minutes before a woman took it home, where it was clearly headed for fifteen years of luxury. Suddenly, he began wondering what the point was of working so hard as a snake. Bai Ying: It’s come to this. I should go find myself an owner, too. He could be obedient and clingy! Xiao Lu, the cheerful, sunny intern at the desk next to his, had posted a photo in front of a python exhibit on his social media. He didn’t seem afraid of snakes. Potential owner +1. Mr. Qin, who’d been transferred in from the company’s headquarters, always wore a watch with an ouroboros set into the face. He seemed to like snakes. Potential owner +1. The nationally famous award-winning actor he’d met by chance through work had said in an interview that he’d considered keeping reptiles. Great, Bai Ying was a reptile. Potential owner +1. There was also his gentle, patient neighbor, a friend who worked in the office building next door, and a seemingly fierce but actually nice man he’d met at a banquet... Bai Ying wrote one name after another in his little notebook. His list of potential owners kept growing, but he only wanted to find himself an owner. Why had all these people fallen for him? One day, the office worker snake suddenly realized he was caught in a love-triangle showdown and didn’t know what to do. * * * * * * A barely-alive, broke office worker, a silly snake demon top. There are lots of disposable bottoms, but the one he ends up with is the strongest of them all. Only the strong deserve a beauty. Theme: Live life to the fullest. Don’t fall in love blindly; do your research first.
