Feng Li's gradual return to consciousness was a journey through the surreal. As he stirred from slumber, he found himself ensconced in a world both strange and oddly comforting. The supple animal skin beneath him cradled him like a mother's embrace, radiating a gentle warmth that cocooned him in safety.
Around him, the cave exuded an atmosphere of solace and serenity, as if it were designed to be a haven for weary souls. It whispered secrets of tranquility, inviting him to linger within its tranquil embrace.
The entrance of the cave served as a canvas for nature's artistry, as the first rays of sunlight painted an enchanting masterpiece. Light and shadow performed a mesmerizing dance on the cave walls, their interplay creating an otherworldly spectacle. The sun's tender caress, combined with the cave's serene aura, wove an ambiance that bordered on the mystical.
But Feng Li's newfound sense of peace was abruptly disrupted by a surreal discovery. When his gaze descended to inspect himself, he was met with an inexplicable and confounding sight. His once-human lower body had undergone a profound transformation, morphing into the graceful form of a white snake's tail. It flowed elegantly from his waist to his legs, its intricate scales glistening in a mesmerizing pattern. It was a sight that defied logic and left him in awe, as he observed the way the tail moved with an almost hypnotic rhythm.
In an effort to regain his composure, Feng Li drew a deep breath, attempting to quell the rising tide of unease within him. With each inhalation, he felt the snake's tail respond, its graceful swaying almost akin to a sentient being's gentle reassurance.
Turning his attention to the enigmatic blue screen before him, Feng Li sought answers in the narrative of the novel:
The tale bore the title "[The Beast King's Harem]."
The description unfolded before him:
[Shi Yu, an ordinary worker in the bustling corporate world, had his life irrevocably altered one fateful midnight after tireless toil in the realm of employment. Little did he suspect that destiny, guided by celestial forces, was conspiring to usher him into a realm far removed from the mundane. In a tragic twist of fate, a bus collided with his car, propelling him into an ethereal domain and severing the bonds of his former existence. Now, he embraced an extraordinary destiny.
Awakening in a world entirely alien, Shi Yu found himself immersed in the mystical and beguiling realm of beasts. Here, the demarcations between reality and fantasy blurred seamlessly. Its inhabitants were bestowed with distinct identities as Beasts and Sub-beasts. The Beasts, fierce and resourceful, provided for their families through their prowess in hunting. In contrast, the Sub-beasts possessed a precious gift—the ability to nurture and propagate, bringing love and care to their homes
In this enchanting realm, life unfurled with a grace that defied belief, where the tapestry of existence wove its threads in the most extraordinary of patterns. Here, the journey to adulthood commenced at a tender twenty-five, a world where the concept of time seemed to stretch into infinite vistas. And so, amidst the grand tapestry of this exotic world, Shi Yu discovered his newfound identity as a Lion beast, poised at the threshold of adulthood.
The beast world unveiled its dazzling landscapes, resplendent with beauty and enigma, as if painted by the hand of the divine. Each vista held its secrets, beckoning Shi Yu to explore their depths. Here, nature was not just a canvas; it was an ever-unfolding masterpiece.
Destiny, like a grand conductor, began its celestial symphony. Shi Yu's path converged with an extraordinary cast of characters destined to be his life partners. Each protagonist possessed a unique allure, like stars in the night sky, drawing Shi Yu into their gravitational pull. Fate's hand was unrelenting, guiding them together, and in this cosmic dance, love and passion swirled to create a tapestry of desire and intimacy.
Together, as a harmonious ensemble, Shi Yu and his harem embarked on a grand odyssey of transformation. Their journey was a quest to elevate the quality of life for their fellow inhabitants, a noble mission that propelled them into the annals of history as kings. Progress and prosperity were their benevolent gifts to the animal world. Yet, as their path unfolded, it became clear that unity was not easily won, for rival kings from diverse races challenged their noble mission of unification.
Within the pages of this enthralling saga, love knew no bounds, transcending the constraints of time and space. In the heart of the harem, amidst the grandeur of their adventures, tender moments of affection and unwavering devotion blossomed, igniting an eternal flame of passion. Their souls were intertwined, and their intimate connections resonated through the ages.
In the midst of breathtaking landscapes and thrilling escapades, Shi Yu and his harem encountered not only external tribulations but internal conflicts as well. Amidst the intricate web of political intrigues and complexities, they navigated treacherous waters together, forging bonds of unity and trust that were unbreakable. In this realm where hearts beat in harmony with the world around them, they embraced their destiny with courage and determination.]
Looking at the "Harem" tag in the novel, Feng Li raised an eyebrow with some doubt. The idea of having a harem didn't quite make sense to him, as it seemed to go against his belief in faithful and committed relationships. To him, love should be exclusive, not shared among many. However, he put those thoughts aside and focused on the tasks at hand:
1. Protect your kingdom.
2. Find out the truth about Shi Yu's mission and prevent any potential harm.
In a moment of determination, Feng Li examined his unusual tail again, hoping to change it back into human legs. After a few tries, he successfully transformed his tail into legs. He felt a brief sense of accomplishment but quickly noticed something odd about his lower abdomen.
He couldn't explain the strange feeling when he saw two unusual protrusions. He knew snakes had two reproductive organs, but seeing them on his own body was confusing. Taking a deep breath, Feng Li tried to calm down. His emotions were getting out of control. He never imagined; he would see such a different scene on his body.

After a moment of gathering himself, Feng Li delved into uncovering the identity of his body's previous owner. It turned out that the one who inhabited this body before him was the revered Snake King, the ruler of the Snake Clan. The Snake Clan flourished with a diverse array of snake beasts and sub-beasts. What made it even more intriguing was that creatures from other animal lineages sought refuge within their ranks. These newcomers had made the decision to join the Snake Clan in pursuit of a better life. Surprisingly, they faced no discrimination or hurdles, regardless of their animal lineage or gender. The Snake Clan welcomed them all with open arms, fostering a community that thrived on harmony and inclusivity.
In this captivating world, there were two distinct genders: Beasts and Sub-Beasts. The Beasts, known for their impressive strength, were skilled hunters responsible for providing sustenance to their community. In contrast, the nurturing Sub-Beasts played a vital role in giving birth and caring for their homes.
The Beasts possessed a remarkable ability to completely transform into their animal forms, showcasing their innate power and connection to their primal nature. On the other hand, the Sub-Beasts, while not as physically strong, still exhibited certain characteristics of their animal prototypes, particularly in their ears and eyes, which resembled those of their respective animal forms.
In this extraordinary realm, individuals reached maturity at the age of twenty-five, signifying their transition into adulthood. Astonishingly, life here extended well beyond two hundred years, affording its inhabitants a lifetime filled with countless adventures and tales waiting to be told.
Upon returning to their lush territory, the Snake Clan reveled in the abundance of vegetation and a bountiful food supply, which included fish, crabs, and other delightful treats. The sheer richness of their resources didn't go unnoticed, as it attracted the attention of various other animal clans. These clans held a strong interest in forming alliances with the Snake Clan, thanks to the promise of mutual benefits. However, the Snake Clan's intimidating reputation often acted as a deterrent, discouraging these clans from initiating any communication, let alone entering into contracts.
The Snake Clan, renowned for their might, held a significant position among the clans, ranking just below the esteemed Lion and Eagle clans in terms of power. Despite their strength, the Snake Clan harbored no ill intentions towards others. Unfortunately, rumors had spread, portraying them as savage and hostile, thereby instilling fear in the hearts of neighboring clans. This erroneous perception created the false belief that the Snake Clan posed a threat to anyone outside their community.
Nonetheless, the Snake Clan possessed a unique aspect - an annual estrus period lasting more than fifteen days. During this time, their emotions ran high, and they were easily agitated. Recognizing the potential risks this period posed, the considerate Snake Beasts chose to isolate themselves from other clans, ensuring the safety of their neighbors. This thoughtful action underscored their sense of responsibility and respect for others, contradicting the misconceptions that surrounded their kind.
