The Story

With other devils, ghosts, monsters expelled, snakes come into the picture. They are not fairies, but they mean it for a change. They dance amid the banks, discussing about beautification. Question: why Xuxian is not a man of bravery and justice?

"I merely wish I were a woman... ", the lady sighed and kept swaying the white sleeves to turn the Tarot cards. Another one in green satin gown is puzzled, with her limited capacity to understand such humanistic sentiments. Their thoughtful magic traits turn out to be totally ineffective, meaning it's time to check one's own genealogy.

Tonight she has to attend the class of disguising, which is the most critical challenge for this body-form. Someone suggests her to try her luck anyway, nevertheless, she'd rather follow the rule of causality.

Sometimes her real figure reveals itself, usually when a toad passes by. In spite of her thousand-year practice, she just cannot hold the key to be a human, an animal, a mixture, or not to be.

(The story is adapted from the Chinese legend "White Snake")
