In the year 2189 of the Shiyuan calendar, Lu Xiao never imagined that her future lover would be a snake. Nor did she imagine that the civil war was not the end, but the beginning. This is the "best" of times, and also the "best" love romance. * That day, Lu Xiao inadvertently witnessed a scene that changed her life. In the jungles of Lanao, the Allied Forces chief medical officer swallowed a bird alive; and when she turned around, she had the head of a snake. From that day on, Lu Xiao understood the meaning of the medical officer's name: Bai Ran, white boa. Lu Xiao originally planned not to interfere or leak the secret, but was endlessly entangled by Bai Ran, forced into one adult game after another. A land ablaze with war, an absurd world, a complex love affair. Entangled again and again, strange feelings quietly arose; the civil war ended, but their story was far from over. ... Lu Xiao once thought this era was no different from any other; until she discovered that this world had fallen into a trap—a trap set by a mad snake. * "We live in the best of times, serving the best country and the best people, of that there is no doubt." — Shizhou Military-Political Unified State "Politics must never have only one voice, even if the price is chaos." — Old European Democratic Republic "Our Lord Lami, thank you for granting us the opportunity to believe in you." — Equatorial United Kingdom [Multiple trigger warnings, enter with caution!]
