00:00In my past life, my sister and I both married into the dragon clan.
00:02My sister gave birth to a divine dragon just three months after the wedding.
00:06That one move got her husband crowned as the dragon clan's crown prince.
00:08Meanwhile, I had to use the secret arts of the well-rat royal bloodline
00:11just to barely push out a tiny little snake.
00:13My husband, the first prince, thought our snake son was stupid and useless.
00:16Said he was an embarrassment.
00:17So when our son failed to transform into a dragon after a thousand years,
00:20he cut off our son's head with his own hands just to vent.
00:22I died on the spot from the sheer grief and rage.
00:24When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the day the dragon princes chose their consorts.
00:27I watched the first prince confidently pick my half-sister.
00:30Liu Ruyan.
00:30And I knew he'd been reborn too.
00:32He thought picking Liu Ruyan would get him a dragon heir
00:34and make him the future king of the dragon clan.
00:36But what he didn't know was, he was born without a dragon core.
00:39He literally can't get his consort pregnant.
00:40Our well-rat clan has the strongest fertility of any race.
00:43So the moment my sister and I came of age this year,
00:45we were shipped off to the dragon palace to be picked.
00:47My chest ached like crazy.
00:48Last life, Mocheng chose me.
00:50Said only the legitimate daughter was worthy of him.
00:52Liu Ruyan ended up with his third brother, Moyan.
00:54But she gave birth to a dragon.
00:55Brilliant, talented, and adored by the dragon king.
00:57And me, I only ever gave Mocheng a little snake.
01:00The dragon king still had a soft spot for Mocheng, though.
01:02He gave him a thousand years.
01:03If the snake transformed into a dragon, Mocheng would be crowned prince.
01:06But our snake son just wasn't gifted enough.
01:08After a thousand years of training, he still failed to transform.
01:11And that cost the first prince his shot at the throne.
01:13I begged him through tears to give our son more time.
01:15But he was cold-blooded.
01:16He straight up chopped off our son's head.
01:18And I died of a broken heart.
01:19Even now, reborn, the pain is still unbearable.
01:21Watching Mocheng pick my half-sister, Liu Ruyan.
01:23I feel relieved, but it just makes me miss my snake son even more.
01:26He trained so hard all just to earn his father's approval.
01:28But all Mocheng ever cared about was the throne.
01:30Mocheng didn't just dislike our son.
01:31He despised him.
01:32But he had no idea he was actually infertile.
01:34Our snake son only existed because I used the well-rat royal secret arts to make it happen.
01:38And that technique is incredibly hard to pull off.
01:40Last life, I failed over a hundred times before I finally succeeded.
01:43I clenched my fists and pushed down the rage building in my chest.
01:45There I stood with my three half-sisters in the grand hall, waiting to be chosen by the four princes.
01:49The dragon emperor sat above us all, smiling as he addressed his four sons.
01:53Our dragon bloodline has always been hard to carry on.
01:55The well-rat clan, however, has an extraordinary gift for bearing children.
01:58These four well-rat princesses are the consorts your father has picked out for you.
02:01Choose an order of seniority.
02:02The moment he finished, Mocheng stepped forward.
02:05He scanned all four of us sisters.
02:06His eyes were cold as he passed my third and fourth sisters.
02:09And when he reached me, he couldn't hide his disgust.
02:11Then he walked straight toward my second sister, Liu Ruyan.
02:13He never noticed my hands trembling or how pale I'd gone.
02:15Father, I choose Liu Ruyan as my consort.
02:17Mocheng took her hand without a second's hesitation.
02:20Liu Ruyan looked completely stunned.
02:21Her soft eyes shyly met Mocheng's gaze, playing up every bit of that blushing, bashful act.
02:25And she wore it perfectly.
02:27I looked at Mocheng, his eyes full of ambition and satisfaction.
02:29That's when I knew he'd been reborn too.
02:31I turned to look at Liu Ruyan.
02:32She was already looking back at me, with the smuggest look on her face.
02:36My mother is the official wife of the well-rat king.
02:38And I'm his only legitimate daughter.
02:39Liu Ruyan's mother had wanted that title for years.
02:41But my father never allowed it.
02:43And Mocheng is the legitimate prince.
02:45Liu Ruyan figured that getting chosen by him, finally put her above me.
02:48So yeah, she was absolutely feeling herself.
02:49After Mocheng's pick, the dragon king looked confused.
02:52Mocheng was his legitimate son, after all.
02:54In his eyes, the legitimate son should take the legitimate daughter.
02:57Mocheng knew that too.
02:57But thinking back on his last life, the hate just wouldn't go away.
03:01He flashed a confident smile.
03:02Father, your son, fell for Yan'er the moment he saw her.
03:05So I choose her.
03:06Last time around, he chose the legitimate daughter.
03:08And his son turned out to be a snake.
03:09He spent a thousand years as a total laughingstock.
03:11And in the end, he lost the throne too.
03:13Now that he's been reborn, there's no way he'd ever pick me again.
03:16The girl who only gave him a snake.
03:17If that's really your choice, then fine, take your consort and go.
03:20The dragon king saw how sure he was and decided to respect it.
03:23Mocheng's choice didn't surprise me one bit.
03:24Then a figure stepped in front of me.
03:26And I heard a calm, gentle voice say,
03:28Father, I choose her.
03:29I looked up, startled.
03:30It was the second prince, Mo Yuxing.
03:31But in my last life, he never chose a consort.
