The Serpent's Human Skin

Summer Linden goes live to debunk Master Xuan, who warns her that her father is a snake demon and her sister has been killed. She investigates, falls into a crisis, and is saved by Master Xuan. She discovers everything from the debunking to the demon-slaying was a scam, for him to seize her sister's jade pendant. She awakens to find reality overlaps with her nightmare.
