Jealous to the point of madness, she pushed me off a cliff during a serpent tribe festival, causing my death.
When I opened my eyes again, it was the day of selecting mates, and my sister was running toward the direction where the Dragon Prince was in distress. I realized she too had been reborn.
However, she didn't know that while rescuing the Dragon Prince was easy, giving birth to a dragon son was an almost impossible feat.
There is an old saying that serpents have a strong yearning for companionship.
Once serpent women reach adulthood, they find it hard to endure loneliness, with sleepless nights stretching endlessly.
The elders feared we might cause trouble by being promiscuous, so they ordered that our first task upon reaching adulthood was to choose a suitable husband and connect with other tribes through marriage.
Today, we had just arrived at the ceremonial hall and hadn't had a chance to properly observe the diverse group of men before us when a girl beside me gently nudged me, "I saw your sister on the way here.
She was running toward the back mountain, ignoring everyone. She's not coming?"
As soon as I heard this, I realized that it wasn't just me who had been reborn; my dear sister was likely here from the previous life too.
Her haste to run to the back mountain was probably for her dream of wealth and status.
Before I could speak, thunder suddenly roared outside, and the sky was shrouded in dark clouds.
In an instant, the world turned dim, and I could vaguely see several people in red above.
My heart skipped a beat. With past experiences, I knew these were the dragon clan's envoys coming with a marriage proposal.
By this time, Corynn should have regained his powers and was ready to marry my sister in gratitude.
In the previous life, my sister deliberately made things difficult for me, sending me to the back mountain to pick flowers for her.
Unexpectedly, I stumbled upon a man who had been ambushed and was unconscious.
Originally, I intended to care for him and perhaps find some enjoyment once he awoke.
Unexpectedly, after he awoke, he handed me a dragon clan token, not only revealing his identity as the Dragon Prince but also sending a message over thousands of miles to marry me as his junior wife.
Our serpent tribe had always held a moderate status, never experiencing such an honor.
I naturally had no choice in the matter; my fate was decided in a few words.
Although dragons are the sovereigns of all realms, they have secrets unknown to outsiders.
To bear a dragon son, the mother must serve as nourishment for the child within.
The dragon's bloodline is so domineering that ordinary women cannot endure it, often resulting in both mother and child perishing after a few months.
Yet, by a stroke of fate, I survived and gave birth to the only son of that dragon generation. The Dragon King was delighted and immediately made me his main consort.
Hundreds of years later, when Corynn ascended to the position of Dragon King, I naturally became the Dragon Queen, enjoying endless wealth and glory.
Meanwhile, my sister, who chose the wild bear, found that he had over a dozen concubines, and she wasn't even ranked.
The wild bear visited her room only once a month, leaving her unsatisfied.
She cried daily, living a miserable life.
Finally, on the serpent tribe's festival day, she deceived me to the cliff and pushed me off.
The despair of dying is something I will never forget.
Suddenly, in the presence of the tribal elders, Corynn appeared before everyone, holding my sister's hand with deep affection, "Meng Qiao has a kind heart.
She saved me in the back mountain, and henceforth, she will be my junior wife."
I knelt down as per the rules, while my sister looked at the crowd with undisguised pride.
However, where she couldn't see, the corners of my mouth curled up slightly.
My dear sister, since you wish not to live, I shall grant your wish.
