I was the golden python kept by Prince Anping. The food at the prince's manor was so good that I grew plump and glossy. Then, at two hundred jin, I was struck by lightning, fell out of a tree, and crushed Princess Anping to death. Oh no, now I'm going to be made into snake soup! I curled up my fat body and trembled. But Prince Anping gently took my hand and asked, “Does it hurt?” My hand? I looked back and, damn it! I was the one who'd died! Bad news: it seemed the princess was dead too. Worse news: I'd ended up in the princess's body!
