Raising My Sweet, Well-Behaved Puppy-Snake to Be My Wife

07 is a little snake-Omega who was raised by a furry dog-mommy until he was seven.

He firmly believes that he is a puppy. After his mommy left the Omega Integration Factory, the little puppy-snake snuck out. He knew he had no future there, so he set out to find his mommy.

Hungry and on the verge of death while wandering the streets, he encountered a high school Alpha who had just finished evening self-study. With nowhere else to turn, he gathered his courage and wrapped his large snake tail around the boy’s ankle.

He was taken home by the boy, fed and watered, and given clothes that were several sizes too big.

“Where is your home? I will take you back.”

“My name is Shen Zhiheng. What about you?”

The little puppy-snake shook his head and pointed at the rusted ID tag on his chest, which had “07” engraved on it.

“No home, no name.”

“Then, would you like to be my younger brother? You can have the same surname as me. Shall I call you Shen Zhiqi?”

The little puppy-snake liked the name and wrapped his big snake tail around his brother’s leg.

Shen Zhiheng lost his mother when he was young and was left by his wealthy father to be raised by his grandmother. His father lived on another planet and was always “too busy,” saying that where the money was, that was where the love was.

He was absent for the entirety of Shen Zhiheng’s childhood and youth.

After his grandmother passed away, he grew up alone, dwelling in isolation, gloom, and decadence, until he met the little puppy-snake. He named the little puppy-snake, cared for his daily needs, and raised him with meticulous attention to detail, like a parent. He thought to himself: This is what the fatherly and motherly love he imagined would feel like. He was saving his past self. Because of the little puppy-snake, he raised himself all over again.

That was the only antidote he found. As he grew up, Shen Zhiheng thought to himself: He would take care of Shen Zhiqi for the rest of his life. He started as his brother, became his “daddy,” and would eventually become his husband.

Shen Zhiqi has a weak body and often reverts to his animal form when sick, his legs turning into a snake tail and his mind becoming as simple and dazed as a small snake’s. He is always getting sick and frequently ends up in the ICU for various reasons, causing his brother to sign countless critical condition notices and exhausting him completely.

Consequently, his brother’s worry turned into an intense sense of possessiveness. He manages the little snake strictly, doing everything for him. For instance, the home is monitored 24/7 to keep a constant watch and prevent him from fainting or going into shock. One day, the little puppy-snake discovered a hidden room in the house, filled with stacks of photos and walls of surveillance footage. He stared blankly at the photos, his tail thumping against the floor.

“So, Brother cares about me this much.”

“Brother is so kind!” The little puppy-snake reached a magnificent conclusion with his little brain.

Shen Zhiqi does not like it when his brother calls him a “little snake”; he stubbornly believes he is just a puppy with a bigger tail.

He likes it when his brother calls him “puppy.” Because he is cold-blooded, his body is always cooler than a human’s, but when he hugs his brother, his body temperature gradually warms up to match his brother’s.

At first, it feels comfortable, but once his body temperature rises too high, he finds it unbearable.

Yet, he loves being held by his brother and likes it when his brother pats his head and praises him, calling him a “good puppy.”

During AO marking, his brother’s pheromones are shockingly hot, and as a cold-blooded creature, the little puppy-snake is always “cried hot” by them.

Shen Zhiqi would try to run to the edge of the bed, clutching his heated, thick snake tail, only to be dragged back and pulled into his brother’s arms.

“Brother, it’s too hot…”

His doting brother kisses his slightly cool cheeks. “Good puppy, just endure it a little longer.”
