Chapter 1

My sister and I were simultaneously chosen for a marriage alliance with the Beastkin Federation.

In my previous life, Seraphina had rushed ahead of me, picking the stunningly handsome and noble Crown Prince of the Serpent Clan as her husband.

I was left to marry the brutish and unsightly Prince of the Lycan Clan.

But later, the handsome Serpent Crown Prince, frail in body, was tragically struck down by lightning and died during an attempt at full human transformation.

Seraphina was reduced to a mere plaything for the Serpent Princes, stripped of all dignity.

Meanwhile, the Lycan Prince I had chosen received a rare chance to transform early into a formidable and dominant Lycan King, becoming the rightful heir to his clan.

I became the most esteemed woman in the Lycan Clan.

The entire Beastkin Federation said the Lycan King adored me, or else I wouldn’t have borne him child after child.

When I opened my eyes again, Seraphina and I were back on the day of the marriage discussions.

This time, to my utter surprise, Seraphina chose the unsightly Lycan Prince.

She gazed at me, utterly smug and triumphant, her eyes glinting with fierce ambition.

It was then that I realized Seraphina, just like me, had been reborn. This couldn't be better.

I lowered my head, using feigned dejection to mask the exhilaration and tremor within me.
