Her jealousy drove her mad, and during a snake clan festival, she pushed me off a cliff, leading to my untimely death.
When I opened my eyes again, it was the day my sister was running towards the direction where the Dragon Prince was in trouble. I realized she too had been reborn.
However, she didn't know that saving the Dragon Prince was easy, but giving birth to a dragon child was like climbing the heavens.
It's an old saying that snakes are known for their passionate nature.
Once snake women reach adulthood, they become restless and yearn for companionship, finding it hard to find solace in sleep during the long, lonely nights.
The elders in the clan feared we might cause trouble by being promiscuous outside, so they commanded us to choose a suitable husband and marry into other clans once we came of age.
Today, we had just arrived at the ancestral hall and hadn't had the chance to properly observe the diverse group of men before us.
A girl beside me gently nudged me, "I saw your sister on the way here. She was running towards the back mountain and didn't respond when I called. Is she not coming?"
Hearing this, I immediately understood.
It seemed that not only I had been reborn, but my dear sister likely had too.
Her hasty run towards the back mountain was probably in pursuit of her dream of wealth and power.
Before I could speak, there was a sudden rumble of thunder outside, and the sky was filled with dark clouds.
In an instant, the day turned to night, and I could vaguely see several figures dressed in red above.
My heart skipped a beat. From past experience, I knew these were the Dragon Clan's envoys coming to deliver a marriage proposal gift.
By now, Song Ziyu should have regained his powers and was ready to marry my sister to repay her kindness.
In my previous life, my sister deliberately made things difficult for me by sending me to the back mountain to pick flowers for her.
Unexpectedly, I stumbled upon a man who had been ambushed and lay unconscious.
Originally, I intended to save him and reap the rewards of my good deed, but upon waking, he handed me the Dragon Clan's token.
He not only revealed his identity as the Dragon Prince but also sent a message back to propose taking me as his secondary consort.
In our snake clan, our status has always been mediocre, and such an honor had never occurred before.
Naturally, I had no choice in the matter; a few words from the man decided my fate.
Although the dragon is the ruler of the seas and skies, there is a secret unknown to outsiders.
To conceive a dragon child, the mother must provide nourishment from her own body for the child in her womb to absorb.
The dragon's bloodline is so overpowering that ordinary women cannot withstand it, often resulting in both mother and child perishing after a few months of pregnancy.
But by some twist of fate, I survived and gave birth to the only dragon child of that generation. The Dragon King was overjoyed and immediately made me his primary consort.
Hundreds of years later, when Song Ziyu ascended to the throne as Dragon King, I naturally became the Dragon Queen, living a life of luxury and honor.
My sister, who had chosen the bear spirit, found herself in a household with over a dozen concubines, unable to stand out among them.
The bear visited her room only once a month, a situation that left her deeply unsatisfied.
She spent her nights in tears, living a life of misery.
Finally, on the day of the snake clan festival, she tricked me to the cliff and pushed me off.
The despair of that near-death experience is something I'll never forget.
Suddenly, under the escort of the clan elders, Song Ziyu appeared before everyone holding my sister's hand, his face full of affection.
"Meng Qiao is kind-hearted; she saved me in the back mountain. From now on, she will be my secondary consort."
I knelt down according to the rules, and my sister looked at the people on the ground with undisguised pride.
However, in a place she couldn't see, the corners of my mouth curled up slightly.
Oh, dear sister, if you court danger, I will not stand in your way.
