00:00I finally got the rarest magic core for you.
00:05You've worked hard.
00:19After rebirth, I abandoned the mighty Phoenix as my magical pet.
00:23Instead, chose an almost dead little black snake in my past life.
00:27I'd hunted rare ingredients for Phoenix, pouring every resource I had into his growth.
00:31He cheated with my sister behind my back.
00:33Finally, to make their little love story easier, they killed me together.
00:36This time around, I wanted to see how that perfect couple managed without me as their stepping stone.
00:41The same pact ceremony, the same standout, undeniably that golden Phoenix.
00:45Even caged with a suppression collar, he held his head high, like the rest of us were beneath him.
00:50As expected, the ceremony elder assigned him to me.
00:53The Phoenix tilted its head back and rolled its eyes, just like in its previous life.
00:57Its face full of disdain.
00:59That was when my sister Evelyn walked in, cradling a limp little black snake in her palms.
01:03Tears rolling down her cheeks.
01:05My sister was too weak.
01:07Phoenix fell in love with her pitiful appearance immediately,
01:09which made me look like the villain standing between them.
01:12The ceremony elder shifted awkwardly and turned on Evelyn.
01:14Your power isn't strong enough.
01:17Even if the Phoenix is drawn to you now, you won't be able to handle him.
01:21She didn't react.
01:22Instead, pretended to be scared by my gaze.
01:24Bit her lip with tears down.
01:26Lila, I know I have no right to compete with you.
01:28It's just...
01:29I've never seen a golden Phoenix before.
01:31I didn't have the patience to listen to her feigned weakness.
01:34I reached out and lifted the limp black snake from her hands.
01:37Smiled at the ceremony elder.
01:39I've taken a liking to this one.
01:40The Phoenix clearly doesn't want me.
01:42Why not let her have him?
01:44I'll take the snake.
01:45The others thought I'd lost my mind.
01:47They pulled me aside.
01:48You're the strongest here.
01:49This black snake has a mixed bloodline.
01:52He's basically worthless.
01:53But I knew the truth about that Phoenix.
01:55He was no prize.
01:56In my last life, in my past life, scene had played out exactly the same way.
02:01The Phoenix ignored me.
02:02I felt the sting of being rejected for the first time in my life.
02:05And instead of thinking clearly, I thought,
02:07He's so hard to get.
02:09I'm obsessed.
02:10As the Archmaster's student, I was supposed to be an example to the others.
02:14I told myself I had to tame the Phoenix.
02:16Strengthen the Spirit Pact Academy.
02:18So I threw everything I had at him.
02:20Every student got a limited ration of elixirs.
02:22So I took assassin missions.
02:24Hunting rogue creatures.
02:25The kind that had lost their minds and turned feral.
02:28To earn extra elixirs.
02:29I came back bleeding every time.
02:31The Phoenix pretended not to notice.
02:33He only came near me when I pulled out elixirs.
02:35Took what he wanted.
02:36And walked away.
02:37Ten years.
02:38I spent ten years helping him break through his limits and take human form.
02:42When he finally did, he was stunning.
02:44Tall.
02:45Sharp featured.
02:46But the warmth stopped there.
02:47He always treated me like I was his errand girl.
02:50I told myself it was fine.
02:51I have no consequence two days a day every time I was going to trage into some adjustments.
02:51The first time behind him, he went to his army of quem� moyenne and landed himself.
02:51He had a good attack and followed up until six years later.
02:51It was so talented.
