A snake spirit transforms into a boy and must hide his true identity after falling for a headstrong prince in this lush, romantic retelling of the traditional Chinese folktale.
When Prince Xian was a boy, a white snake bit his mother and condemned her to a slow, painful death. The only known cure is an antidote created from the rare white snake itself. Desperate and determined, Xian is determined to capture one for himself and cure his mother.
Soon, Xian encounters an enigmatic but beautiful stable boy named Zhen, and the two are immediately drawn to each other. But Zhen might just be the human embodiment of the white snake Xian is hunting. And as their feelings grow deeper, will the truth about Zhen’s identity tear them apart?
