Upcoming story: How to Make a Name for Yourself in History with a Dress-Up System (synopsis at the end) * Twist and crawl, wriggle, raise his body, open his mouth, startle a rat snake, make it panic and run, lunge and miss, crash into a tree… After pitifully drinking a few sips of water, Jing Liu stayed where he was and wondered: Could he really become the only king cobra in the world to starve to death because he couldn’t hunt…? A week ago, Jing Liu was still an overworked intern, staying up all night to finish his work. The next morning, he woke up to find himself transformed into a king cobra named Jing Liu, a fearsome snake capable of devouring nearly every other snake in its territory like a tasty snack, the undisputed king of snakes. Unfortunately, the title “king of snakes” now needed a qualifier: except for him. Already injured and now facing the threat of starvation because he couldn’t hunt, Jing Liu curled up into a miserable little ball. To make matters worse, a real king cobra had entered his territory… And now, enjoy the colorful snake’s thrilling struggle to survive . Sifeng is an unusual king cobra. Being big is one thing, but he also has a sense the other snakes lack: hearing. As one of the rainforest’s apex predators, he reigns supreme, and no one dares mess with him. But everyone makes mistakes, even horses stumble, and even snakes miscalculate… He never imagined that someone would poach a king cobra. To avoid being captured and soaked in liquor by humans, he went to the territory of a weak member of his own kind by the river. Instinct told him that he needed a steady supply of food while he recovered, and this weak relative looked like a delicious little snack. But this relative turned out to be unexpectedly interesting, and he could help treat his injuries… So they might as well live together while he recovered! Though life together was a little too chaotic “Is this really a king cobra?” Sifeng asked the first time he saw one being mobbed by mice. Jing Liu felt guilty. Jing Liu said nothing. Jing Liu gave him a little snake snuggle! * A love-struck wild snake top x a pretty, adorable transmigrated snake bottom Before you read: 1. The characters won’t turn into humans in the main story, though they might in the extras. 2. The protagonist is a snake. Don’t read if you can’t accept that. 3. I’m a new author with limited writing skills. 4. Please be civil and don’t be a jerk. 5. I’m not an expert. What I know about animals comes from the internet. There’s some creative license; this isn’t serious science education. 6. I’m not a full-time author. I’ll take a break if something comes up in real life. I’ll try to update daily, and extra chapters depend on circumstances. 7. The snake on the cover isn’t a king cobra. The cover artist didn’t have any king cobra materials to work with. 8. If you encounter a snake in real life, stay away, whether it’s venomous or not. Don’t provoke it! ● Upcoming story Liu Ximing “So you’re saying I have to wear that damn dress of yours, go to Mount Tai in ancient times, and throw myself into the arms of the first man I see?” System: [That’s the mission.] Liu Ximing nearly fell apart. “Wait, System, are you serious? Did you bind the wrong person? I’m a guy!” System: [That’s the mission. It’s a mission you must complete.] Liu Ximing was at a loss for words. “Then you should at least tell me why I have to do something so ridiculous!” System: [That’s the mission… the mission you must complete… Three, two, one. Mission timed out. Host, please accept your punishment!] “Ah!!!” After transmigrating to a fictional ancient dynasty and being forced to bind to a dress-up System, Liu Ximing failed to stand up to it the first time around. To stay alive, he had no choice but to start a career as a fake mystic and con artist. He cleared his throat, slung an arm around someone’s shoulder, closed his eyes, and launched into a speech: “Friend, would you like to hear who I am? I am a celestial star lord descended from heaven, as proven by my starry robes and jeweled cap; I know the past and present and govern the fate of all under heaven, as proven by my celestial scroll and jade tablet; I know neither love nor sorrow. I wish only for clear rivers and calm seas, and for the people to live without want…” The other person: “The Star Lord is always right!” * Liu Ximing fooled everyone, but he never expected that they had all been keeping him in the dark. The only truth he’d heard since transmigrating came from the System! The System said: [You will eventually return to your divine station, but first you must experience the countless hardships of mortal life and a hundred sorrows of the heart.] On the Cloudmist Terrace, the god who had knelt in worship turned and walked away without hesitation. The System said: [You will become the Weaver Girl, long cherished by a celestial official, only to be separated from him by the Silver River.] Before Mount Tai closed around him, a heart-wrenching cry shook the heavens: Star Lord!!! I’ll wait for you to return to heaven! The System said: [You will become Chang’e, whom the ruler of all under heaven longs for but cannot have, and is forced to give up.] On the altar, the ice finally melted into spring water. Fingers that had clutched his sleeve loosened one by one: Go. The mortal world was never a place that could keep a god… The System said: [You will become the heart-piercing blade that someone regrets meeting too late, a pain that cuts to the core.] Beneath the red wedding candles, a gloomy face was drenched in tears. Again and again, he demanded: So you mistook me for someone else? Then what am I to you? … The System said: [You are human, a god, a demon, and a mad fiend!] The System said: [You will repay your debts, atone for your grievances, and accumulate merit!] The System said: [But Liu Ximing, Zhongxiang Star, how can you ever make amends for a wrong committed a thousand years ago?] “I can make amends! System, I can make amends!” Liu Ximing said. But how…? * Bai Lingtao They all say the Weaver Girl’s love story is tragic and beautiful, moving all of heaven and earth… But what about me? Lord Liuhong, Zhongxiang Star, why can’t I be the exception? Must I be like the Cowherd, spending this lifetime waiting in the star palace and praying each day to see you? You said you had neglected your duties and asked me to strip you of your divine station; so I followed you down to the mortal realm, through a thousand years of reincarnation. You said you wanted to deceive heaven and earth, tricking every living thing into calling you a god; so what did it matter if I joined you in telling the biggest lie of all? But then you said you couldn’t let private matters interfere with public duty, and asked to enter Mount Tai; I… What about me? Star Lord, Zhongxiang Star has fallen. You enter Mount Tai, but what about me? I’m still an official of the Big Dipper’s nine stars! In the end, you govern the fate of all under heaven, trapped forever in Mount Tai, unable to leave… In the end, I govern Zhongxiang Star. My rainbow light cannot flow, and I cannot see you… * The story of a con artist who uses a dress-up System to seduce people in ancient times, tricking himself into becoming a god. Theme: Live in harmony with nature.
