The Phoenix Princess’S Second Chance Ep
Category
🎥
Short filmTranscript
00:01I am the high princess of the phoenix clan. I poured all my power into Caspia, my childhood sweetheart, to
00:10be my husband and the next dragon king.
00:13But in the prince, a blade plunges through my chest. Blood sprays across the man I loved for a lifetime.
00:20Caspian hugged Isolde, and the two of them smiled like winners. He doesn't even blink.
00:25If you hadn't forced me to marry you, Isolade wouldn't have suffered. I only faked loving you. Just to rip
00:36out your magical core for her.
00:41He tears the feathers, and he reaches into my chest, and pulls out my magical core with his bare hands.
00:48I watch him place my core into his oldest palm. Like a gift. Just as I thought I was dead,
00:55the pain vanished.
00:56I snap my eyes open, drenched in cold sweat. My core is still there.
01:01Have you decided who to marry?
01:03That voice. The king. The day of choosing a husband. I've been reborn. Every face around me is exactly as
01:10I remember. And standing at the front of the hall.
01:12Father, I think-
01:14King!
01:14Before I can finish, Caspian drops to his knees with a dramatic thud.
01:18I know Florence loves me. But Isolade is my only true love.
01:23The king's face turns to stone. Everyone in this room knows what I represent. I am the Phoenix Princess. The
01:30only one. But Caspian isn't finished. He rises to his feet. He looks straight at me and says,
01:35I know Florence can't live without me. So I'll be generous. I'll let her be my mistress. She should be
01:41grateful Isolade is kind enough to share.
01:44How dare you!
01:47I look at him coldly. Isolade is not a real phoenix. In the past, terrible things happened. The phoenix egg
01:55was lost during the Great War. The clan brought her back by mistake, thinking she was me. My mother was
02:00kind. She let Isolade stay, gave her the title of princess.
02:04Ten years after I returned to my true family, I was sent to live in the dragon palace. And that's
02:10when things changed. Dragon blood is dying. New kings are chosen from lesser bloodlines. Nagas, serpents, even lizards. They must
02:20survive the heavenly lightning to transform into dragons. Her power purifies their blood, shields them from death. But without a
02:29phoenix princess, not one of them would live through it.
02:33Caspian's words just humiliated my entire family. The king's palm slapped Caspian's face. Then he turned to me.
02:41Florence, whatever you want to do with him, do it. Just don't let his stupidity drive you away.
02:48Caspian staggers from the slap, but his eyes find mine again. He looks at me like he already knows what
02:53I'll say. Like I'm a dog that will always come back.
02:57What are you waiting for? Don't you want to marry me more than anything? Here's your chance. Just say yes.
03:03You've stolen so much from Isolette already. She's kind enough to let you share me with her. You should be
03:09on your knees thanking her.
03:10The whole court holds its breath. In my past life, this is where swallowed my pride. Smiled through the pain
03:18and chose him. I gave him everything. And he repaid me with a blade through the heart. Not this time.
03:25I lift my chin and look past him. I look at the king.
03:27Father, I have already decided.
03:31Now, everyone looks at me, including Caspian. I write a name in the king's hand. I whisper my secret plan
03:38to him, using magic.
03:43Since you are so sure, I will arrange the wedding for you both. Stay home and reflect on your actions.
03:52Don't cause any more trouble before the wedding.
03:54A smug smile appears on Caspian's face. His eyes say. I knew Florence would agree. I ignore him and look
04:02toward the corner. A young boy stands there with sharp eyes. He has tiny naga horns and dark skin. The
04:09king sends everyone away to talk to me.
04:15When I leave the palace, Caspian is still there. Isolde is standing right next to him.
04:22Thank you for letting us be together, sister. My parents would be happy.
04:26I only want you. She should thank you for being so kind. If you said no, she couldn't even be
04:32my mistress.
04:33He is so gentle when he speaks to Isolde. But in my past life, he was always cold to me.
04:38Isolde's parents died because of you. Since you is so generous, give her some artifacts. These at compensation for her
04:46loss.
04:47Isolde's parents were actually fake phoenixes. They raised me as their own child. They died protecting me from a baby.
04:56That tragedy led the phoenix clan to find me. In my past life, I felt guilty and gave in to
05:03her.
05:03But before I died, I learned the truth. Isolde lured that beast to kill me.
05:08She murdered her own parents just to get rid of me. I look at them coldly and say nothing.
05:13Florence, I have something to tell you.
05:15What?
05:16You heard the king today. Isolde's magic is weak. She'll be bullied.
05:20You gave him so many artifacts. Who would dare to bully her now?
05:25Artifacts are nothing compared to real power. I want to borrow your magical core.
05:33I realized it instantly. In my past life, he killed me for her. He ripped out my core without hesitation.
05:39I stared at him coldly. The air felt heavy and dangerous because of my magic.
05:45Isolde's face turned pale. Even Caspian started to look uneasy. Suddenly, a deep voice spoke up.
05:53Princess Florence. The king sent me.
05:55I turned to look. It was the man with the black naga horns. He hasn't turned into a dragon yet,
06:01but he could stand still under my pressure.
06:03Means he would be more powerful. I let go of my power and smiled at him.
06:08All right. Let's go then. Caspian shouted. Wait!
06:12He ignored the trembling Isolde. He looked at the boy with total disgust.
06:18What things will this lowlife talk to you?
06:21This man is my future husband. Of course we have things to talk about.
06:26The dragon trial opens once every fifty years. Every candidate who dreams of becoming a dragon must enter.
06:34They face the heavenly lightning that burns away their old form. If you endure it, you shed your scales and
06:42become a true dragon.
06:44One escape. And you turn to ash.
06:48In my past life, I used my own lightbulb's magic to shield Caspian with nine bullets at once.
06:55He became the first dragon in history to succeed on his first trial.
07:00They called him a genius. A once in a millennium king.
07:04They never knew it was my magic holding him together. My core cracking under the weight of his ambition.
07:11It took me two years to recover. The damage left a permanent scar on my cultivation.
07:17And he never even said thank you. Mentioning the trial shifts his focus immediately. His pride won't let him ignore
07:25it.
07:26Just wait. In five days, you will come beg me to marry you.
07:32I stay silent, leaving. Out of the corner of my eye, I catch a flash of jealousy in Isolde's expression.
07:39She hides it quickly. But I saw it. They walk away together, like the perfect couple.
07:46I turn to the boy standing quietly beside me. He straightens instantly.
07:52Arthur, the king told you everything about the trial.
07:56I turn to face him.
07:57So I need one honest answer. Are you here for power? Or is there another reason?
08:02He doesn't answer right away. The wind moves through his hair. Then he drops to his knees.
08:07Both hands flat on the ground, like a vow made to the world itself.
08:13Princess Florence, if I ever betray you, in this life or any other, let me die the cruelest death imaginable.
08:21The sky answers. Thunder rolls, shaking the air in my chest. A single bolt of lightning splits the clouds open.
08:28Then silence. He used his magical core to seal it.
08:33This isn't words. This is his life. Signed over to a promise.
08:38He stays, kneeling, waiting.
08:41I reach to the sun. A strong wave of magic shows.
08:45A phoenix royal pendant rests in my palm. I look at him.
08:49I haven't decided yet whether to give it to him. Something stirs in my chest.
08:53In my past life, I watched a hundred men make promises to me.
08:57Sweet words. Grand gestures. Not one of them made it.
09:03But this boy. This quiet, overlooked, low-born naga.
09:08Just bet his life on a single sentence.
09:10I released my hand. Kneel down and tie it to his waist myself.
09:15Believe you.
09:16His eyes widen. His lips part. But no sound comes out.
09:21His hands are trembling. I pretend not to notice.
09:25I return to my palace. The moment I step through the gate, my little bird spirit comes running toward me.
09:32Princess! Princess! Princess! Come quickly! They're chopping your tree!
09:37I look up and rush to the main courtyard.
09:41Sycamore. A tree I spent ten years growing. Ten years of watering it. It's been chopped down to the roots.
09:48The trunk lies on its side like a fallen body.
09:52Caspian stands beside the stump, arms crossed, without a trace of remorse.
09:58My mother gave me that tree the day I left the phoenix realm.
10:03I was scared. I didn't want to leave home.
10:06She pressed a tiny seed into my palm and said,
10:09The sycamore is the home of the phoenix.
10:12Wherever you are in this world, wherever they send you.
10:15As long as this tree stands, you are home.
10:20It was so small when I planted it. Just a wisp of green in the dark soil. Ten years. Every
10:27single day.
10:28And now it's gone. Destroyed in a single afternoon by a man who never loved me.
10:35How dare you cut down my sycamores!
10:37My voice shakes with a fury so deep, Caspian doesn't even look at the stump.
10:42It's just a tree. I cut it down. So what?
10:46He gestures lazily to the empty space.
10:49Isolet likes phoenix flowers.
10:51He looks at me with those cold, commanding eyes.
10:55From now on, you will only grow phoenix flowers here.
11:01I look up and rush to the main courtyard.
11:04My sycamore.
11:06The tree I spent ten years growing. Ten years of watering it.
11:10It's been chopped down to the roots.
11:12The trunk lies on its side like a fallen body.
11:16Caspian stands beside the stump, arms crossed, without a trace of remorse.
11:22My mother gave me that tree the day I left the phoenix realm.
11:27I was scared. I didn't want to leave home.
11:30She pressed a tiny seed into my palm and said,
11:33The sycamore is the home of the phoenix.
11:36Wherever you are in this world, wherever they send you.
11:39As long as this tree stands, you are home.
11:44It was so small when I planted it.
11:47Just a wisp of green in the dark soil.
11:50Ten years. Every single day.
11:52And now it's gone. Destroyed in a single afternoon by a man who never loved me.
11:59How dare you cut down my sycamores!
12:01My voice shakes with a fury so deep, Caspian doesn't even look at the stump.
12:06It's just a tree. I cut it down. So what?
12:10He gestures lazily to the empty space.
12:13Isolet likes phoenix flowers.
12:16He looks at me with those cold, commanding eyes.
12:19From now on, you will only grow phoenix flowers here.
12:24This is my palace. I plant what I want.
12:28Can't you even give her a place of her own?
12:31Caspian looked embarrassed for a moment.
12:33He is just one of many candidates.
12:36Until they become king, they live in shared halls.
12:39Your things are mine. I'm just planning ahead for us.
12:43If you annoy me, I might not marry you at all.
12:47He didn't see any panic on my face, so he tried to act sweet.
12:52I'm doing this for your own good.
12:54Be good, and I'll let you have my first son.
12:58Don't flatter yourself, Caspian.
13:01You will never be my husband.
13:04Not in this life.
13:05He didn't believe me. He thought I was just angry.
13:09If not me, then who else?
13:13The king said he's preparing our wedding.
13:17Five days later, everyone gathered at the dragon's sanctum.
13:22Surprisingly, Isolda showed up this time, too.
13:25Everyone was staring at the two of them.
13:27Caspian saw me and walked over immediately.
13:31Florence, I'm counting on you today.
13:33Since Isileth is by my side now...
13:36His eyes actually turned soft for a moment.
13:39I will make sure to take care of you, too.
13:43I stayed silent, and he didn't seem to care.
13:46He looked at the other nervous boys with pride.
13:50Suddenly, Caspian's eyes froze.
13:52He marched toward Arthur with pure rage.
13:57The necklace that belongs only to the future husband of the Phoenix Clan.
14:02How did it end up in the hands of a lowborn wretch like you?
14:06Caspian glared at Arthur like he wanted to rip him apart.
14:10Arthur showed no fear and just stared back coldly.
14:14Caspian was furious and about to lose it.
14:17Isolda quickly stepped up and grabbed his arm.
14:20Caspian, that necklace can't be real.
14:23It must be a fake.
14:26Look at him.
14:28The trial is starting.
14:30He won't survive one strike.
14:34Don't waste your time on trash like him.
14:38Caspian calmed down, held her hand gently.
14:42I watched them coldly, feeling only amusement.
14:46Soon, the Sky Dragon King arrived.
14:49He opened the Dragon King and tried it.
14:52Most candidates only lasted one lightning strike.
14:55The best among them only took three.
14:58The King looked disappointed in all of them.
15:01Then, it was Caspian's turn.
15:04He walked forward with total confidence.
15:08Isolda actually followed, right beside him.
15:11The crowd whispered in total shock.
15:14The Dragon King was a deadly place.
15:16A weak spirit like Isolda would turn to ash instantly.
15:24Don't be scared.
15:26Don't you trust my power?
15:29Besides, Florence is right here.
15:31She won't just stand there and let me fail.
15:35Isolda's eyes darkened when she heard my name.
15:38She suddenly spat out her own magical core.
15:42The core was small, and she turned pale instantly.
15:46Even her hair started turning gray at the temples.
15:48Isolit!
15:50Isolit!
15:50What are you doing?
15:51Caspian cried.
15:52We agreed you would just stay by my side.
15:55Our core will ruin your future Cult of Ultivation.
15:58Caspian, I know my magic is very weak.
16:01I'm nothing like a royal phoenix princess.
16:04But I want to do something for you.
16:07Let my core help you survive the lightning.
16:10Caspian was moved to tears by her sacrifice.
16:13The other clan members whispered among themselves.
16:17Her magical core won't last a second.
16:19She must really love him to do that.
16:22What does Cassible have that makes everyone love him?
16:28He sure isn't afraid to die.
16:30If Caspian fails, her core will shatter first.
16:32Without a core, she'll lose everything and die.
16:34He only dares because of Princess Florence.
16:36The phoenix clan has secret spells for this.
16:39I don't know why she is so loyal to him.
16:42The crowd gossiped with envy in their eyes.
16:45I just watched everything with a cold stare.
16:48This didn't happen in my past life.
16:51Now I'm curious to see what happens next.
16:53Caspian stood in the dragon pool, looking excited.
16:57The golden divine water flowed slowly around him.
17:01He suddenly summoned nine heavenly thunderbolts.
17:05The sky turned pitch black in an instant.
17:08Purple and gold lightning swirled in the clouds.
17:11Everyone watched the scene in total shock.
17:14Has he lost his mind?
17:15He's channeling magic that's meant to kill!
17:18No one in history has ever survived that.
17:25With lightning like that, he's doomed.
17:27Even with Florence's help, he'll be ruined.
17:29He might survive, but his power will be gone.
17:31The crowd was stunned and so was Isolde.
17:34She never expected Caspian to be this crazy.
17:37He really thought he could take it all at once.
17:39Yeah, he's always been reckless, I thought.
17:43In my last life, he never cared about my safety.
17:46Let's see how he survives without me this time.
17:49A massive boom echoed through the air.
17:52The lightning was ready to strike from above.
17:54Caspian looked at me.
17:56Florence!
17:57What are you waiting for?
17:59Come here and help me survive the trial!
18:01His eyes, full of greed, I just stood there and watched him coldly.
18:06Florence!
18:07Do you still want to marry me?
18:09You're only here to help me become a dragon!
18:12Why aren't you doing anything?
18:15Move now!
18:16I stood there like a statue, cold and still.
18:21Caspian's smug face finally showed pure terror.
18:29Florence!
18:30This isn't the time for jokes!
18:39If these nine bolts hit me, I'll die.
18:44Do you really have the heart to let me die?
18:47I remembered my past life after our wedding.
18:50He was always so cold and distant to me.
18:52I used to think that was just his personality,
18:55until I caught him meeting Isolde in secret.
18:57The Phoenix Clan is so cruel to you.
19:00It wasn't your fault you took Florence's place.
19:02I watched them, feeling a chill in my soul.
19:06Isolde was the one who tried to steal our treasure.
19:09She wanted the 10,000-year magical core for herself.
19:14She only got caught because she was greedy.
19:22My parents only spared her because she begged.
19:26If she hadn't cried, she'd be ash by now.
19:30Caspian knew the truth back then.
19:33Gertie.
19:34But now, he was blaming me for everything.
19:37In my past life, I wanted to confront him.
19:40But suddenly a sharp pain hit my stomach.
19:42It felt like fire was tearing my organs apart.
19:46I rolled on the ground, screaming in agony.
19:49Then, a pair of white leather boots appeared.
19:52I looked up and saw Caspian with a sword.
19:55He watched me suffer with cold, dead eyes.
19:58The next second, blood splashed everywhere.
20:01He ripped my magical core out of my body.
20:12Thinking of this makes me want to kill him.
20:15The lightning above finally locked onto him.
20:20Caspian realized something was very wrong.
20:25Florence.
20:26You?
20:27He stamped before he could finish.
20:29The first bolt struck.
20:31The purple-gold lightning crashed hard.
20:33It hit Caspian with the force of a mountain.
20:36He summoned nine bolts at once.
20:38Each one was ten times stronger than normal.
20:41Caspian was so panicked, he forgot to defend.
20:44He screamed and coughed up a spray of blood.
20:47No!
20:48Isolde shrieked in horror.
20:50In an instant, her tiny magical core shattered.
20:53All her magic energy drained away.
20:56Her face turned pale and blood leaked out.
20:59But the most terrifying part happened next.
21:01Her young, beautiful face began to shrivel.
21:04Deep wrinkles covered her skin in seconds.
21:08Countless dragons stared at him.
21:11Their eyes were full of mockery.
21:13Disgust and contempt were everywhere.
21:15No!
21:17Don't look at me!
21:18I beg you, stop looking!
21:20Isolde covered her face tightly.
21:23Caspian!
21:24Please save me!
21:26But Caspian could not help.
21:29The lightning broke his spirit.
21:31He fell to his knees.
21:33He looked messy and full of regret.
21:35He looked up at me.
21:37Florence!
21:38Save me!
21:39I am your future husband.
21:42How can you watch me die?
21:44His pride was finally gone.
21:47I walked toward him.
21:49Everyone was watching me.
21:50Caspian looked so happy.
21:52But I stopped next to Arthur.
21:55I took Arthur's arm.
21:56I smiled at Caspian.
21:58Who said you are my husband?
22:00I already talked to the king.
22:02I chose Arthur as my husband.
22:06I already talked to the king.
22:07I chose Arthur as my husband.
22:10The phoenix necklace is proof.
22:12The crowd went dead silent.
22:14Then, everyone started screaming.
22:15No one expected this choice.
22:18I chose Arthur.
22:19The lonely boy.
22:20He is quiet and steady.
22:22He never tried to show off.
22:23He didn't try to please me.
22:25He just watched me from afar.
22:27When we met eyes, he blushed.
22:29In my last life, I saw his love.
22:31He risked death to bury me.
22:33That's how I knew he loved me.
22:36Many men want me for power.
22:37They want the phoenix throne.
22:39They want to rule dragons.
22:41But Arthur is different.
22:43I looked back at Caspian again.
22:46In my past life, Caspian only dared to face three bolts of lightning.
22:51After three hits, he was covered in wounds.
22:54But he wasn't satisfied with it.
22:56Marrying me would make him the king.
22:58But he didn't just want power through marriage.
23:00He wanted to prove his own strength.
23:02So, he sent me a secret message.
23:04He begged me to help him.
23:06I secretly used my Nirvana magic.
23:09I used my magical core to protect him.
23:12That battle damaged my magical core.
23:14It took me two hundred years to recover.
23:17I was left with a permanent illness.
23:19Later, he became the first king to survive nine bolts at once.
23:23Thousands of people worshipped him.
23:25Everyone called him a one in a million leader.
23:28But in this life, he was too greedy.
23:30With experience from his past life, he didn't care about the risk.
23:34He called down nine bolts of lightning at once.
23:37He didn't care if I got hurt.
23:39He didn't care if I got sick forever.
23:41From start to finish, Caspian only ever cared about himself.
23:49What a pity.
23:50I looked at the rolling thunder.
23:52I'm afraid Caspian won't even survive the second bolt.
23:56Just as I thought that.
23:57A huge purple gold lightning bolt struck.
24:00Caspian looked absolutely terrified.
24:03No!
24:05But it was already too late.
24:06The lightning crashed down with a roar.
24:09It hit the dragon transformation pool hard.
24:12I looked down at the water.
24:14Even in the golden water, electricity was flashing.
24:17Everyone stared at the smoke in the pool.
24:20After a while, the king sighed.
24:23He raised his hand and cleared the thundering clouds.
24:26I looked into the pool.
24:28Caspian was lying there, covered in blood.
24:31He had completely lost consciousness.
24:33He was once a talented dragon, after all.
24:36The king explained this to the crowd.
24:39Then, he sent a surge of spiritual energy into Caspian's body.
24:45After that, Caspian slowly woke up.
24:48Servants pulled him out of the pool.
24:50Before, they respected him because I loved him.
24:53But now, he is powerless and badly hurt.
24:56The servants treated him carelessly.
24:59Their eyes were full of contempt.
25:01Caspian had someone to save him.
25:03But Isolde was not so lucky.
25:05She gave her magical core to Caspian.
25:08Now that the core was shattered, she aged instantly.
25:11Isolde cried bitter tears as she grew old.
25:14She tried to speak, but in the noisy crowd, no one listened to her.
25:17This time, Caspian finally became smart.
25:21He didn't ask me for anything.
25:22He just stared at me blankly.
25:24The king looked at me.
25:26I nodded at him, casually.
25:28I was the one who told the king to save Caspian.
25:31Caspian noticed this small movement immediately.
25:35His eyes lit up suddenly.
25:37He stumbled toward me.
25:38With a loud thud, he knelt down.
25:45Florence, I was wrong.
25:47His face was full of regret.
25:49Florence, please forgive me.
25:51I only want you now.
25:53I will love you with all my heart.
25:56I won't have any other desires.
25:58I stared deep into his eyes.
26:01He held his breath in fear.
26:03I lifted my foot and kicked him.
26:05Caspian looked totally shocked.
26:08I leaned down to his ear.
26:10I could smell his intense fear.
26:12I whispered to him, word by word.
26:15In our past life, when you cut out my magical core,
26:21did you ever think of today?
26:24His pupils shrank instantly.
26:27His whole body went limp.
26:29He stared at me in disbelief.
26:32Back at the ceremony,
26:33I realized Caspian had also been reborn.
26:37I didn't look at him again.
26:39I led Arthur to the pool.
26:44I will stay with you.
26:47But he stood there, frozen.
26:50What's wrong?
26:52Everyone was watching us.
26:54Even the king looked confused.
26:57Caspian's eyes filled with malice.
26:59He doesn't want you, Florence.
27:01Do you think everyone loves you?
27:03Arthur's eyes were so gentle.
27:05They were filled with deep love.
27:09Princess, let me try alone.
27:12I was stunned for a moment.
27:14He gently squeezed my hand.
27:17This lightning is dangerous.
27:20I know you are very strong.
27:22But you are Phoenix.
27:24If you get hurt by lightning,
27:25it's going to damage a dravon.
27:27I don't want that for you.
27:30I looked into his serious eyes.
27:32My heart skipped a beat.
27:34Before I could think clearly,
27:37Arthur let go of my hand.
27:39The golden water moved as he walked.
27:42Arthur sat in the pool.
27:44His shirt was soaked through.
27:46You could see his muscles.
27:48The thunder began to gather.
27:51People watched with admiration.
27:53Then they looked disappointed.
27:56Why is there only one bolt?
27:58Next second, the bolt struck.
28:01It was like a flying dragon.
28:03It crashed into the pool.
28:05Everyone was shocked.
28:07Arthur!
28:08This first bolt was terrified.
28:10It was stronger than others' third.
28:12It proved his power was deep.
28:15The scoffers were now stunned.
28:17I couldn't help but smile.
28:19In the past, he took five.
28:22One by one, the bolts fell.
28:24After the fifth bolt hit,
28:26I thought he would get up.
28:28But he sat still like a mountain.
28:31Arthur?
28:31I looked at him with worry.
28:33He was covered in wounds.
28:35He had reached his limit.
28:38He just smiled at me.
28:40I can do it.
28:42He signaled.
28:43A huge light crashed down.
28:46I waited, feeling nervous.
28:48After a few seconds, it cleared.
28:50He surpassed his past life.
28:53He took six bolts alone.
28:55He's now the top dragon.
28:56He stood up, shaking slightly.
29:00He bowed to the king.
29:01The king looked very pleased.
29:03As he walked out of the pool,
29:05I suddenly spoke up.
29:09Wait!
29:10I walked toward him slowly.
29:11His eyes widened a little.
29:14The clouds gathered again.
29:17Watch out!
29:18Don't be afraid.
29:19I held his hand to calm him.
29:21This day will be a legend.
29:24Arthur took six bolts alone.
29:26With my help, he took three more.
29:29He became a true dragon.
