“Desperate for her love, I tried to snatch it by force
But she drove me far away
I lived in despair until death
When we were both reincarnated as snakes
And they made me a female snake
So that I can forever be by her side
Now, I am half snake half woman
The worst of all possible worlds
All for the love of Madame White Snake
我陷入绝望，直至生命终结，
我与她同时转世，化身为蛇
上天眷顾，赐我女儿身，
从此我可永伴她身
如今我半蛇半女，
世间最痛苦的，莫过于此”
-Xiao Qing’s Lament, Madame White Snake by Cerise Lim Jacobs
