Short filmTranscript
00:00I am the High Princess of the Phoenix Clan.
00:03I poured all my power into Caspian, my childhood sweetheart, to be my husband, and the next Dragon King.
00:14In return, a blade plunges through my chest.
00:17Blood sprays across the man I loved for a lifetime.
00:20Caspian holds the sword, his other arm wrapped around Isolde.
00:23If you hadn't forced me to marry you, Iselithe wouldn't have suffered.
00:29I only faked loving you, just to rip out your magical core for her.
00:34He tears the feathers, he snaps my bones, then he reaches into my chest and pulls out my magical core
00:39with his bare hands.
00:40I collapse in a pool of my own blood.
00:43Through fading eyes, I watch him place my core into Isolde's palm, like a gift.
00:50Just as I thought I was dead, the pain vanished.
00:53I snap my eyes open, drenched in cold sweat.
00:57My hand flies to my chest.
00:59My core is still there.
01:01Florence, have you decided who to marry?
01:04The day of choosing a husband, I've been reborn.
01:06Every face around me is exactly as I remember.
01:13Father, I think...
01:17King, I know Florence loves me, but Iselithe is my only true love.
01:22The crowd gasps.
01:23The king's face turns to stone.
01:26Everyone in this room knows what I represent.
01:28I am the Phoenix Princess.
01:30The only one.
01:32Suddenly, every man in the hall shifts.
01:34Eyes sharpen, ambitions stir.
01:37I know Florence can't live without me.
01:40So I'll be generous.
01:42I'll let her be my mistress.
01:45She should be grateful Iselithe is kind enough to share.
01:48That Isolde, she's not even a real phoenix.
01:50During the Great War, phoenix egg was lost.
01:54Go and protect the phoenix egg!
01:57The clan brought her back by mistake.
02:00Thinking she was mean.
02:01My mother was kind.
02:02She let Isolde stay.
02:03Gave her the title of princess.
02:05But a borrowed crown doesn't change what you are.
02:07Ten years after I returned to my true family, I was sent to live in the dragon palace.
02:12And that's when things changed.
02:13Dragon blood is dying.
02:14New kings are chosen from lesser bloodlines, nagas, serpents, even lizards.
02:20They must survive the heavenly lightning to transform into dragons.
02:23But without a phoenix princess, not one of them would live through it.
02:27Her power purifies the king, shields them.
02:30The princess doesn't just pick a king.
02:33She makes one.
02:34Caspian's words didn't just insult me.
02:36How dare you!
02:43Florence.
02:45Whatever you want to do with him, do it.
02:47Just don't let his stupidity drive you away.
02:51Then he turned to me.
02:53What are you waiting for?
02:55Don't you want to marry me more than anything?
02:57Here's your chance.
02:59Just say yes.
03:00Florence, you've stolen so much from Izzel already.
03:03She's kind enough to let you share me with her.
03:06You should be on your knees thanking her.
03:08In my past life, this is where swallowed my pride, smiled through the king, and chose me.
03:14I gave him everything.
03:16My magic, my core, my life.
03:18And he repaid me with a blade through the heart.
03:21Not this time.
03:22I lift my chin and look past him, as if he's not even there.
03:26I look at the king.
03:28My voice is steady and clear.
03:32I have already decided.
03:34Now, everyone looks at me.
03:36Including Caspian.
03:38I didn't speak his name.
03:40I step toward the king and take his hand.
03:42Then I lean close, and use magic to whisper my plan directly into his mind.
03:47The king's eyes flicker.
03:49Then, he nods.
03:51You.
03:52Stay home.
03:55This is my last chance for you.
03:57Reflect on what you've done.
03:59A smug smile crawls across Caspian's face.
04:02His eyes say everything.
04:04He thinks the wedding is for him.
04:06I don't correct him.
04:08Instead, I let my gaze drift to the far corner of the hall.
04:11A young man stands there.
04:13Half hidden in shadow.
04:14Sharp, quiet eyes.
04:16A pair of small black naga horns on his head.
04:19The moment our eyes meet, he looks away.
04:21Like he's been caught doing something he shouldn't.
04:24Then the king sends everyone away, except him.
04:28They speak privately for a few minutes.
04:30When I leave the palace, Caspian is waiting outside.
04:34Caspian takes Isolde's hand, and walks toward me like he owns the ground I stand on.
04:39Thank you for letting us be together, sister.
04:41My parents would be so happy if they could see this.
04:44My stomach turns, Caspian cuts in before I can respond.
04:48Why are you thanking her?
04:49She should be thanking you for being generous enough to share me.
04:53If you had said no, I wouldn't even keep her as a mistress.
04:57In my past life, I never once heard that voice directed at me.
05:00Isolet's parents died because of you.
05:03She lost everything, and yet she's still kind to you.
05:08The least you can do is give her something in compensation.
05:11Not once in all the years I bleed for him.
05:14Let me tell you about Isolde's parents.
05:17They were fake phoenixes.
05:19Lesser spirits who found me as a lost child and raised me as their own.
05:22And they died protecting me from a beast that attacked our home.
05:26Their sacrifice is the reason the phoenix clan found me.
05:30Her death gave me back my birthright until the day I died.
05:33That's when I learned the truth.
05:35Isolde lured that beast to our home.
05:37She sent it to kill me.
05:39And when her own parents got in the way, she let them die.
05:42She murdered her own parents just to get rid of me.
05:45And now, she stands here.
05:47Using their graves to squeeze more from me.
05:49I look at them both.
05:51I say nothing.
05:53Isolde tugs gently on Caspian's sleeve.
05:55That delicate little gesture she's perfected over the years.
05:58Caspian pauses, as if remembering something.
06:01Florence, there's one more thing.
06:04What?
06:05Isolde's magic is weak.
06:07After the wedding, she'll be bullied by the other clans.
06:11You gave her plenty of artifacts.
06:13Who would dare bully her?
06:15Every gift I ever gave him.
06:17Every treasure.
06:18Every rare artifact he handed straight to Isolde without a second thought.
06:22Artifacts are nothing compared to real power.
06:26I want to borrow your magical core.
06:29Suddenly, my brain explodes with a loud ring.
06:32His hands inside my chest.
06:33His fingers closing around my core and pulling.
06:36My vision goes red.
06:37Every nerve in my body screams,
06:39Kill them.
06:39My magic surges.
06:41But I force it down.
06:42I force myself to breathe.
06:44Death is too easy for them.
06:46Too quick.
06:47Too merciful.
06:47I look him dead in the eyes.
06:50Give me your spirit core.
06:53Do you know what losing a core means?
06:55I will lose all my magic.
06:58I could die.
06:59We're about to be married.
07:00Why are you being so selfish about this?
07:04Give her the core.
07:06Now.
07:08I know exactly what he's doing.
07:10In my past life, this is how it ended.
07:13He didn't borrow my core.
07:14He ripped it out of me without a second thought.
07:16I stare at him.
07:18My magic answers my rage before I can stop it.
07:21An invisible pressure radiates from my body like heat from a furnace.
07:25Isolde's face drains of color.
07:27Even Caspian takes a half step back.
07:29His confidence cracks.
07:30Good.
07:31Be afraid.
07:33I could end them both right here.
07:34But then a voice cuts through the tension.
07:37Princess Florence.
07:38The king sent me to find you.
07:40He's standing less than ten feet from me.
07:42Right inside the full radius of my pressure.
07:44And he hasn't moved to flinch.
07:46Everyone else in this corridor is struggling to stand.
07:48He's standing like a mountain.
07:50He's still just a naga.
07:52But if he can stand still under the pressure of a phoenix princess,
07:55then his true power runs deeper than anyone knows.
07:58I release my magic.
08:00Pull it back like sheathing a blade.
08:02The air returns to normal.
08:03Alright.
08:04Let's go.
08:05Wait!
08:05What business does this lowborn have with you?
08:09What could a filthy naga possibly have to say to the phoenix princess?
08:12The boy doesn't even look at Caspian.
08:14He just waits for me.
08:16This quiet, unshaken boy is my future husband.
08:19Of course we have things to talk about.
08:21Instead of worrying about who I talk to,
08:23you should be preparing for the trial in five days.
08:25Trial?
08:26I am the strongest dragon candidate of this generation.
08:29I'll succeed even without your help.
08:33We will see.
08:34The dragon trial opens once every 50 years.
08:37Every candidate who dreams of becoming a dragon must enter.
08:41They face the heavenly lightning that burns away their old form.
08:44If you endure it, you shed your scales and become a true dragon.
08:48One mistake, and you turn to ash.
08:50In my past life, I used my own life force magic to shield Caspian from nine bolts at once.
08:56He became the first dragon in history to succeed on his first try.
08:59They called him a genius.
09:01A once-in-a-millennium king.
09:03They never knew it was my magic holding him together.
09:05My core cracking under the weight of his ambition.
09:08The damage left a permanent scar on my cultivation.
09:11Mentioning the trial shifts his focus immediately.
09:14Just wait.
09:14In five days, you will come beg me to marry you.
09:17I stay silent, leaving.
09:19Out of the corner of my eye, I catch a flash of jealousy in Isolde's expression.
09:24They walk away together, like the perfect couple.
09:27Arthur.
09:29The king told you everything I say, about the trial.
09:33So I need one honest answer.
09:35Are you here for power?
09:37Or is there another reason?
09:39He doesn't answer right away.
09:40Then he drops to his knees, both hands flat on the ground, forehead pressed to the earth.
09:45I, Arthur, swear an oath to the heavens.
09:48If I ever betray you, in this life or any other,
09:51let me die the cruelest death imaginable.
09:54He stays kneeling, waiting.
09:56I reach to the sun.
09:57A strong wave of magic shows.
09:59A phoenix royal pendant rests in my palm.
10:02I release my hand, kneel down.
10:04I believe you.
10:05His lips part, but no sound comes out.
10:08I pretend not to notice.
10:10I return to my palace.
10:11The moment I step through the gate,
10:13my little bird spirit comes running toward me.
10:16Princess!
10:17Princess, come quickly!
10:19They're chopping your tree!
10:20My blood goes cold.
10:22I look up and rush to the main courtyard.
10:25My sycamore.
10:25My mother gave me that tree the day I left the phoenix realm.
10:29I was scared.
10:30I didn't want to leave home.
10:31I didn't want to live among dragons.
10:33The sycamore is the home of the phoenix.
10:36Wherever you are in this world, wherever they send you,
10:40as long as this tree stands, you are home.
10:43It was so small when I planted it.
10:45And now it's gone.
10:46Destroyed in a single afternoon by a man who never loved me.
10:49How dare you cut down my sycamore!
10:52It's just a tree.
10:54I cut it down.
10:56So what?
10:58From now on, you will only grow phoenix flowers that Isalette loves here.
11:04This is my palace.
11:05I plant what I want.
11:07Can't you even give a place of her own?
11:09Caspian looked embarrassed for a moment.
11:11He is just one of many candidates.
11:13Until they become king, they live in shared halls.
11:16Your things are mine.
11:17I'm just planning ahead for us.
11:19If you annoy me, I might not marry you at all.
11:22He didn't see any panic on my face, so he tried to act sweet.
11:26I'm doing this for your own good.
11:28Be good.
11:29And I'll let you have my first son.
11:31Don't flatter yourself, Caspian.
11:32You will never be my husband.
11:34Not in this life.
11:35He didn't believe me.
11:37He thought I was just angry.
11:38If not me, then who else?
11:40The king said he's preparing our wedding.
11:42I looked at his confident face and sneered.
11:44Five days later, everyone gathered at the dragon's palace.
11:48Surprisingly, Isolda showed up this time too.
11:51Everyone was staring at the two of them.
11:53Caspian saw me and walked over immediately.
11:55Florence!
11:57I'm counting on you today.
12:01For Isalette's sake, I will be gentle with you.
12:05I stayed silent.
12:06And he didn't seem to care.
12:08Suddenly, Caspian's eyes froze.
12:10He marched toward Arthur with pure rage.
12:14The necklace only belongs to the future husband of the Phoenix Clan.
12:19How did it end up in the hands of a lowborn wretch like you?
12:28What are you?
12:29This is my future husband.
12:32The real dragon.
12:34Caspian glared at Arthur like he wanted to rip him apart.
12:37Arthur showed no fear and just stared back coldly.
12:40Caspian was furious and about to lose it.
12:44Isolda quickly stepped up and grabbed his arm.
12:47Caspian, that necklace can't be real.
12:49It must be a fake.
12:50Look at him.
12:52The trial is starting.
12:54He won't survive one strike.
12:56Don't waste your time on trash like him.
12:58Soon, the king arrived.
12:59He opened the door for the trial.
13:01Most candidates only lasted one lightning stroke.
13:04The best among them only took three.
13:06The king looked disappointed in all of them.
13:09Then, it was Caspian's turn.
13:11He walked forward with total confidence.
13:14Isolda actually followed right beside him.
13:16The crowd whispered in total shock.
13:18It is a deadly place.
13:19A weak spirit like Isolda would turn to Ash instantly.
13:24Don't be scared.
13:25Don't you trust my power?
13:27Besides, Florence is right here.
13:29She won't just stand there and let me fail.
13:36Isolet, what are you doing?
13:38We agreed you would just stay by my side.
13:40Losing your core will ruin your future cultivation.
13:44Caspian, I know my magic is very weak.
13:47I'm nothing like a royal phoenix princess.
13:49But I want to do something for you.
13:51Let my core help you survive the lightning.
13:54What's the point?
13:55Her magical core won't last a second.
13:58She must really love him to do that.
13:59What does Caspian have that makes everyone love him?
14:02He sure isn't afraid to die.
14:03If Caspian fails, her core will shatter first.
14:06Without a core, she'll lose everything and die.
14:08He only dares because of Princess Florence.
14:11I don't know why she is so loyal to him.
14:13The crowd gossiped with envy in their eyes.
14:15I just watched everything with a cold stare.
14:18This didn't happen in my past life.
14:20Now, I'm curious to see what happens next.
14:23He suddenly summoned nine heavenly thunderbolts.
14:26The golden divine water flowed slowly around him.
14:29He lost his mind?
14:30He's channeling magic that's meant to kill.
14:32No one in history has ever survived that.
14:35The sky turned pitch black in an instant.
14:37With lightning like that, he's doomed.
14:40Even with Florence's help, he'll be ruined.
14:42He might survive, but his power will be gone.
14:45The crowd was stunned.
14:46And so was Isolde.
14:47She never expected Caspian to be this crazy.
14:50Yeah, he's always been reckless.
14:52In my last life, he never cared about my safety.
14:55Let's see how he survives without me this time.
14:58A massive boom echoed through the air.
15:00The lightning was ready to strike from above.
15:03Caspian looked at me, his eyes full of greed.
15:05Florence!
15:06What are you waiting for?
15:08Come here and help me survive the trial!
15:10I just stood there and watched him coldly.
15:13He thought I didn't hear him and stepped closer.
15:15Florence!
15:16Do you still want to marry me?
15:19You're only here to help me become a dragon!
15:21Why aren't you doing anything?
15:23Move now!
15:25I stood there like a statue, cold and still.
15:28Caspian's smug face finally showed pure terror.
15:32Florence!
15:33This isn't the time for jokes!
15:35If these nine bolts hit me, I'll die!
15:37Do you really have the heart to let me die?
15:39I remembered my past life after our wedding.
15:42He was always so cold and distant to me.
15:44I used to think that was just his personality, until I caught him meeting Isolde in secret.
15:49His eyes were filled with so much tenderness then.
15:52The Phoenix Clan is so cruel to you.
15:54It wasn't your fault you took Florence's place.
15:56He rubbed her hand, and complained about my family.
15:59I watched them, feeling a chill in my soul.
16:02Isolde was the one who tried to steal our treasure.
16:05She wanted the 100-year magical core for herself.
16:08She only got caught because she was greedy.
16:10My parents only spared her because she begged.
16:13She hadn't cried, she'd be ash by now.
16:16Caspian knew the truth back then.
16:17He even called her, greedy, to my face.
16:20But now, he was blaming me for everything.
16:22In my past life, I wanted to confront him.
16:25But suddenly, a sharp pain hit my stomach.
16:28It felt like fire was tearing my organs apart.
16:31I rolled on the ground, screaming in agony.
16:35Then, a pair of white leather boots appeared.
16:38I looked up, and saw Caspian with a sword.
16:41He watched me suffer with cold, dead eyes.
16:44The next second, blood splashed everywhere.
16:47He ripped my magical core out of my body.
16:50Thinking of this, makes me want to kill him.
16:52The lightning above, finally locked onto him.
16:56Caspian realized that something was very wrong.
16:59He started to panic.
17:04Florence, you...
17:05Before he could finish, the first bolt struck.
17:09The purple-gold lightning crashed hard.
17:12It hit Caspian with the force of a mountain.
17:14He summoned nine bolts at once.
17:16Each one was ten times stronger than normal.
17:20Caspian was so panicked, he forgot to defend.
17:22He screamed, and coughed up a spray of blood.
17:25Isolda shrieked in horror.
17:27In an instant, her tiny magical core shattered.
17:30All her magic energy drained away.
17:32Her face turned pale, and blood leaked out.
17:36But the most terrifying part, happened next.
17:39Her young, beautiful face began to shrivel.
17:41Deep wrinkles covered her skin in seconds.
17:44Countless dragons, stared at him.
17:46Their eyes were full of mockery.
17:47Disgust and contempt were everywhere.
17:49Isolde covered her face tightly.
17:52No, don't look at me.
17:53I beg you, stop looking.
17:55But Caspian could not help.
17:56The lightning broke his spirit.
17:58Caspian, please save me.
18:00He fell to his knees.
18:02He looked messy and full of regret.
18:05He looked up at me.
18:07His pride was finally gone.
18:09Dorrance, save me.
18:11I am your future husband.
18:14How can you watch me die?
18:15I walked toward him.
18:17Every own was watching me.
18:18Caspian looked so happy.
18:20Who said you are my husband?
18:22I already talked to the king.
18:24I chose Arthur as you.
18:29The phoenix necklace is proof.
18:32The crowd went dead silent.
18:33Then, everyone started screaming.
18:35No one expected this choice.
18:37I chose Arthur.
18:38The lonely boy.
18:39He is quiet and steady.
18:40He never tried to show off.
18:41He didn't try to please me.
18:43He just watched me from afar.
18:44When we met eyes, he blushed.
18:46In my last life, I saw his love.
18:48He risked death to bury me.
18:51That's how I knew he loved me.
18:53Many men want me for power.
18:55They want the phoenix throne.
18:57They want to rule dragons.
18:59But Arthur is different.
19:01I looked back at Caspian again.
19:07In my past life, Caspian only dared to face three bolts of lightning.
19:12After three hits, he was covered in wounds.
19:15But he wasn't satisfied with that.
19:18He wanted to prove his own strength.
19:20So he sent me a secret message.
19:22He begged me to help.
19:23I secretly used my Irvana magic.
19:26I used my magical core to protect him.
19:29That battle damaged my magical core.
19:31It took me two years to recover.
19:33I was left with a permanent illness.
19:35Later, he became the first king to survive nine bolts at once.
19:39Thousands of people worshipped him.
19:41But in this life, he was too greedy.
19:44With experience from his past life, he didn't care about the risk.
19:48He pulled down nine bolts of lightning at once.
19:50He didn't care if I got hurt.
19:52He didn't care if I got sick forever.
19:54From start to finish, Caspian only ever cared about himself.
19:58What a pity.
19:59I looked at the rolling thunder.
20:01I'm afraid Caspian won't even survive the second bolt.
20:04Just as I thought that, a huge purple gold lightning bolt struck.
20:09Caspian looked absolutely terrified.
20:11But it was already too late.
20:12The lightning crashed down with a roar.
20:15It hit the trial ground hard.
20:17After a while, the king sighed.
20:19He raised his hand and cleared the thundering clouds.
20:29The king explained this to the crown.
20:33Then, he sent a surge of spiritual energy into Caspian's body.
20:37After that, Caspian slowly woke up.
20:40Servants pulled him out of the ground.
20:41Before, they respected him because I loved him.
20:44But now he is powerless and badly hurt.
20:47The servants treated him carelessly.
20:49Their eyes were full of contempt.
20:50Caspian had someone to save him.
20:52But Isolde was not so lucky.
20:54She gave her magical core to Caspian.
20:56Now that the core was shattered, she aged instantly.
21:00Isolde cried bitter tears as she grew old.
21:02This time, Caspian finally became smart.
21:05He didn't ask me for anything.
21:07He just stared at me blankly.
21:08The king looked at me.
21:10I nodded at him casually.
21:12I was the one who told the king to save Caspian.
21:15Caspian noticed this small movement immediately.
21:18His eyes lit up suddenly.
21:20He stumbled toward me.
21:21I was wrong.
21:22With a loud thud, he knelt down.
21:24Florence, please forgive me.
21:26His face was full of regret.
21:28I only want you now.
21:29I will love you with all my heart.
21:31I won't have any other desires.
21:33I felt a wave of pure joy.
21:35I lifted my foot and kicked him.
21:37Caspian looks totally shocked in our past life.
21:41When you cut out my magical core, did you ever think of today?
21:46I didn't look at him again.
21:48I led Arthur to the ground.
21:51I will stay with you.
21:52I didn't look at him again.
21:54I led Arthur to the ground.
21:56I will stay with you.
21:58But he stood there, frozen.
22:00Everyone was watching us.
22:01What's wrong?
22:02Even the king looked confused.
22:04Caspian's eyes filled with malice.
22:06He doesn't want you, Florence.
22:10Do you think everyone loves you?
22:12Arthur's eyes were so gentle.
22:14They were filled with deep love.
22:16Princess, let me try alone.
22:18I was stunned for a moment.
22:20He gently squeezed my hand.
22:23This lightning is dangerous.
22:25I know you are very strong.
22:26But you are a phoenix.
22:28If you get hurt by lightning, it will damage your foundation.
22:32I don't want that for you.
22:33I looked into his serious eyes.
22:36My heart skipped a beat.
22:37Before I could think clearly, Arthur let go of my hand.
22:41The golden water moved as he walked.
22:44Arthur sat in the trial ground.
22:47His shirt was soaked through.
22:48You could see his muscles.
22:50The thunder began to gather.
22:52People watched with admiration.
22:55Then they looked disappointed.
22:56Next second, the bolt struck.
22:59It was like a flying dragon.
23:01It crashed into the trial ground.
23:03Everyone was shocked.
23:04This first bolt was terrifying.
23:07It was stronger than others' third.
23:09It proved his power was deep.
23:11The scoffers were now stunned.
23:13I couldn't help but smile.
23:15In the past, he took five.
23:18One more time.
23:19One more time.
23:20One more time.
23:20One more time.
23:20One more time.
23:21One more time.
23:21One more time.
23:22I thought he would get up.
23:24But he sat still like a mountain.
23:26I looked at him with worry.
23:28He was covered in wounds.
23:30He had reached his limit.
23:32He just smiled at me.
23:34He signaled.
23:35A huge light crashed down.
23:37After a few seconds, it cleared.
23:40He surpassed his past life.
23:42He took six bolts alone.
23:44He is now the top dead.
23:46He stood up, shaking slightly.
23:49He bowed to the king.
23:50The king looked very pleased.
23:53As he walked out of the trial ground,
23:55I suddenly spoke up.
23:56I walked toward him slowly.
23:58His eyes widened a little.
24:00The clouds gathered again.
24:02He shouted.
24:04I held his hand to calm him.
24:05This day will be a lich.
24:07Arthur took six bolts.
24:09With my help, he took three bolts.
24:12Well, I'll be on my hand.
24:14What are you...
24:14No, no, no, no!
24:17Huh?
