"When Prince Xian was a boy, a white snake bit his mother and condemned her to a slow death. Xian has never stopped looking for the only known cure, an elusive spirit pearl--or an antidote created from the rare white snake itself. Desperate, Xian travels to the city of Changle, where an oracle predicted he would find a white snake. Seven years ago, Zhen, a white snake, stumbled across a spirit pearl. Consuming it gave him the ability to change into human form. In Changle, Xian encounters an intriguing young man--Zhen. The two are drawn to each other, but it becomes clear to Zhen that he is the white snake Xian seeks. As their feelings grow, how much longer can Zhen hide his true identity?"--
