With the Snake

Everyone says Su Yu is lucky. While gathering herbs in the mountains, she comes across a young gentleman who’s been bitten by a poisonous snake. She sucks the venom from his arm, and in return, he asks for her hand in marriage. Su Yu doesn’t want to marry him. But her grandmother, the only family she has, suddenly falls gravely ill, and Su Yu has no money for a doctor. She has no choice but to agree. Fortunately, the young gentleman is very good to her. Not only is he handsome, refined, and gentle, he also treats her with great tenderness. On their wedding night, he sees how frightened she is and doesn’t force her. After a month or so, Su Yu willingly shares his bed. - Su Yu discovers that her usually restrained and proper husband becomes a different person in bed. He always has far too much energy. His stamina is always far too long-lasting. She always loses consciousness in the process. She wants to refuse, but apart from that, her husband treats her wonderfully during the day. Su Yu assumes he’s simply insatiable and full of youthful vigor, so she does her best to oblige him. Until one day, a group of people surrounds their home and attacks. Her husband stands amid pools of blood. Beneath his robes, a dark, heavy snake tail appears, blood still dripping from its scales. Su Yu is so terrified that she faints. - When she wakes again, she’s wrapped in the cold coils of his snake tail. Hard scales slide over her waist and abdomen, tightening slightly. Seeing the fear on her face, his usually warm, affectionate eyes suddenly turn into golden, unblinking slits as he stares at her. “Wife…” “Are you afraid of me?” A gentle, honest wife vs. a Snake Lord who is mild-mannered by day and ravenous whenever he sees his wife at night Reading Guide: 1.
