Casey faces pressure from Melly to choose Lucian, a powerful beast tamer, as her mate instead of the weak and ugly old snake she prefers. Melly accuses Casey of jeopardizing her future and tries to push Lucian on her, but Casey refuses and rejects Lucian’s mating proposal, leading him to threaten to expose her hidden strength. As conflict escalates with accusations and tension, the old snake unexpectedly reveals his true identity as the Celestial Lord and offers to bond with Casey. Meanwhile, others plot to kill the snake, hoping Casey will then have no choice but to select Lucian, leaving the outcome uncertain.
