Shen Ji is Yan Qingtang's master. Everyone says he's a half-immortal, but looking at Shen Ji's lazy, sickly appearance, Yan Qingtang simply can't believe it.
Yan Qingtang was a little black snake Shen Ji found by the roadside on the day his sect was destroyed and he was forced to descend the mountain. He loves Shen Ji, the kind of love that makes him want to marry him and spend his life by his side.
But Yan Qingtang never dares to show even a trace of it in front of Shen Ji. Shen Ji may seem to love flirting with everyone, but in truth, his heart belongs to his senior brother, Liu Yuanzhao, who died on the day their sect was destroyed.
Even an ordinary person's patience has its limits, let alone that of Yan Qingtang, a snake demon. When his cultivation fails and backlashes against him, he finally loses control in the throes of demonic possession and pins Shen Ji to the bed. There, he discovers that his master's body is fascinating: he's no half-immortal, but a perfect cultivation cauldron.
He forces tears from his beautiful master. In a daze, Shen Ji cups his face, but the name he murmurs is "Yuanzhao." In Yan Qingtang's arms, he calls for his senior brother.
Yan Qingtang loses his reason and simply locks Shen Ji away in his demon's lair, indulging himself day after day, all so Shen Ji might call him "Qingtang."

*They fight monsters and exorcise demons in their everyday lives, and save the world along the way.
*This story teaches us not to pick up little black snakes by the roadside. Otherwise, they'll vividly demonstrate that raising a magical creature can leave you exhausted to death, and get you fucked to death too.
Shen Ji: Where did my obedient, well-behaved disciple go?!
