Reborn as a Snake

Delivery rider Lu Chen, desperate to keep his 300-yuan perfect-attendance bonus, rides against traffic on a stormy night and dies in an accident. When he opens his eyes again, he has been reborn as a baby king cobra in a zoo—and bound to a "Global Popularity Evolution System." He refuses to eat pinky mice, demands apples by name, nods at the camera, and writes the Chinese character for "human" in the sand. With his superhuman intelligence and a string of bizarre behaviors, he becomes an overnight sensation in zookeeper Lin Zhixia's livestream and keeps evolving into a black-gold snake king amid crisis after crisis. But the flood of attention also draws the hunt of greedy capital: fabricated public opinion, data theft, forced research, and midnight raids come one after another.
