The bodhisattva isn't literal, but the snake is.
An XP story, with a male lead and a female lead.
The female lead is a cool and aloof master who has given up trying.
The male lead is her snake disciple: sunny, cheerful, gentle, and virtuous on the surface, but inwardly insecure, gloomy, and crawling all over the place.
Yes, that's right, Sisi is the male lead's name.
[Dedicated to my dearest buddy, Dou Fan.]
