Don't Bite My Snake Tail

"Two female snakes can't be together!" When Xing Yue's eighteen-year-old wife threw those words at her during an argument, Xing Yue's rage vanished. She coldly left behind divorce papers. She was done with this little snake.

Ten years later, Xing Yue unexpectedly ran into her ex-wife at a high-society ball. The impetuous young girl she remembered had become a renowned top lawyer: proud, coolly beautiful, and widely admired as a splash of crimson against snowy heights. Rumor had it that Bu Yao specialized in same-sex divorce cases and had helped revise same-sex legislation for five consecutive years. Xing Yue's heart thudded. What if her ex reopened their case and claimed a share of her fortune?

Before the ball was over, a fiery red snake tail coiled around Xing Yue and backed her into a dim attic. Bu Yao threw herself into Xing Yue's arms, flicking out her forked tongue as she confessed, "Big Sis, I've missed you so much..." Her ruby-red eyes brimmed with hurt.

That night, Xing Yue went to a hotel with the little fire snake, fully aware of what she was doing. Afterward, she said bluntly, "I don't own a home. I'm eight hundred thousand in debt. I can barely afford to eat."

From then on, Xing Yue didn't dare drive her Porsche or stay in her villa. She slept in a rented room, walked to and from work, and refused to order takeout if the delivery fee exceeded three yuan-all for fear Bu Yao would discover she had money.

Bu Yao went home and spent three days and nights heartbroken. She'd never imagined Xing Yue's life had become so miserable after their divorce. Under those circumstances, it made sense that Xing Yue wouldn't dare ask to remarry.

Xing Yue was just about to breathe a sigh of relief when Bu Yao appeared at her door that very night-with thirty-six property deeds as a bonus. She was practically force-feeding Xing Yue a life of luxury! Xing Yue didn't know what to do with herself. And then the little fire snake wound tightly around her tail.

"Big Sis, I still have a little money. Enough for us to raise a whole clutch of snake eggs..."

Xing Yue, I've wanted to have little snakes with you for years.
