Nina met up several times in real life with her rich and gentle online boyfriend Silas, but the one who always showed up was a small, well-dressed black snake. She forced herself to hide her fear of snakes and pretended to enjoy dating the snake, thinking of it as a test of love from her wealthy boyfriend.
Over time, this little snake, who seemed almost human, loved to act cute, and always shed tiny 'pearl' tears, gradually made her lower her guard. But an accidental misunderstanding revealed the truth: the little black snake was actually Silas, a snake beastman who couldn’t maintain human form during his molting period. All the late-night companionship and help in times of crisis had been genuine, and there was even a secret long-time crush Silas had harbored since childhood. In the end, they overcame the barriers between their species and started a sweet and hilarious cohabitation life.
