The Snake-Bone Bride

[Sweet romance, one-on-one] [Scheming Snake King × runaway bride]

When my grandmother was young, she saved a spiritual snake that had attained immortality. To repay her, the snake gave her a snake-spirit jade ring and promised that one day, if she presented the ring, he would grant her a wish in exchange. Later, when my allotted lifespan was nearly over, my grandmother actually tried to force the spiritual snake to marry me using that ring. At eighteen, I became the snake's bride, but also suffered the snake immortal's most vicious revenge. Years later, my own uncle offered me as a sacrificial guardian goddess to a python immortal. Just as I was about to die in the python's jaws, a black snake immortal suddenly appeared and saved me.

The black snake immortal was devious and arrogant, chasing me every day to demand repayment for saving my life. He coaxed and tricked me into promising myself to him. To stay alive, I had no choice but to grit my teeth and agree. But the black snake immortal had a strange habit: every night, he liked to hold me while talking in his sleep. Sometimes he would grab my neck and snarl, “Little liar, if you dare betray me, I'll snap your neck!” Other times, he would kiss my brow and soothe me through tears. “Forget it. She's the wife I chose myself. I can't bring myself to hurt her... I guess I'll just have to spoil her.”

Me, inwardly furious: “Snake Emperor, there must be something wrong with you!”
