00:00I already gave him my first time. If I don't marry him, who else would want me now?
00:10My sister knelt before me, crying. In my previous life, I gave birth to the heir, a white wolf pup.
00:20Consumed by jealousy, my sister burned me and my son alive.
00:27Then I opened my eyes again. I was reborn. She had been reborn too. This time,
00:35she had already slept with my fiance first, the white wolf prince. Instead, I married into the
00:43snake clan, the coldest, the lowest. Everyone pitied me, but they didn't know the truth.
00:51After the war between humans and beasts, the two sides struck a deal.
01:00Werebeasts would rule the world. Every hundred years, a human and a beast would get married.
01:06Their firstborn werebeast would become the new leader.
01:15He was known for his loyalty. I gave birth to his white wolf pup before anyone else.
01:21Our son became the new leader of the human-beast alliance. Dominic rose to immense power.
01:28My younger sister, Catherine Walters, was different. She married the firstborn of the
01:34Sphinx clan. But he slept around, recklessly. He infected her with an STD and left her infertile.
01:43Consumed by jealousy, Catherine burned me and my son alive. When I opened my eyes again,
01:50I was back on the day of the human-beast wedding.
01:55That was when I knew she had been reborn too. But she had no idea what Dominic really was.
02:01He was a brutal monster who solved everything with violence.
02:09Eve, Nick and I are really in love. Please, give him to me, okay?
02:15I already gave him my first time. If I don't marry him, who else would want me now?
02:24I was still reeling when I heard Catherine wailing. As always, Dad immediately took her side.
02:31Eve, how about you pick someone else? Cathy got carried away and made a mistake.
02:36I was his love child, while Catherine was his legitimate daughter. So he always liked her more.
02:43I locked eyes with Catherine, who was kneeling before me.
02:49She looked pitiful with tears all over her face. But the greed and excitement in her eyes were
02:55unmistakable. This time, she had secured Dominic first. In my previous life, I had chosen him as
03:03my fiancé. As I saw it, the Snake Clan was cold and withdrawn. The Sphinx Clan frivolous and promiscuous,
03:10and the Dragon Clan arrogant and untouchable. Only the Wolf Clan was loyal and devoted. Dominic had
03:17seemed like the safest choice. Six months after our marriage, I gave birth to a white wolf pup and
03:24named him Frederick. As the firstborn werebeast of that generation, he automatically became the
03:31next leader of the Human-Beast Alliance. Catherine, obsessed with appearances, married Carlton Campbell,
03:38the Sphinx Clan's firstborn. She never expected him to be a complete playboy. He infected her with an
03:46STD, ruined her fertility, and the Sphinx Clan despised her for it.
03:54Yet instead of blaming him or herself she blamed me. Driven mad by jealousy over my better life,
04:00she slipped sleeping pills into my drink and burned Frederick and me alive. Just recalling it
04:05made my blood boil. I felt the urge to kill her right here to avenge Frederick. I clenched my fists
04:11inside my sleeves, and the pain biting into my palms helped me calm down. Then I nodded and smiled like
04:18I
04:18understood.
04:24Since you guys are into each other, I'm not gonna get in the way.
04:28Catherine clearly hadn't expected me to agree so easily. The fake tears she'd forced out froze
04:34awkwardly at the corners of her eyes.
04:37Kathy, get up and thank Eve for her generosity.
04:41Dad breathed a sigh of relief.
04:43T-thank you.
04:46Catherine ran out happily, saying she was gonna tell Dominic the good news.
04:51All she cares about is her boyfriend.
04:54Dad joked. When he turned back to me and saw my expressionless face,
04:58a trace of guilt crossed his own.
05:01Eve, the only bachelors left among the Beast Clans are
05:05Jonathan of the Snake Clan and Carlton of the Sphinx Clan.
05:10I think Carlton would be the better choice.
05:12Better looks, higher status.
05:17And Kathy once said,
05:18I cut him off.
05:20I'm gonna marry Jonathan.
05:22Snakes were stereotyped as cold-blooded by humans.
05:25People were deeply prejudiced against them.
05:28For thousands of years, no one had chosen to marry into the Snake Clan.
05:33As a result, they had never led the Human-Beast Alliance.
05:37Because of that, they were expelled from the top five clans,
05:41left at the very bottom, with almost no resources.
05:45But in my previous life, as I lay dying in the flames,
05:49I saw a pair of bright green eyes.
05:51It was Jonathan.
05:53He tried to save me, but the fire was too strong,
05:56and there was nothing he could do.
05:58That was why I chose him this time.
06:03Dad wasn't happy about my pick.
06:05But seeing how sad I was, he didn't push it.
06:08He sighed.
06:09If things get rough with the Snake Clan, you can always ask Kathy for help.
06:12But when Katherine found out I was marrying into the Snake Clan,
06:16she couldn't resist making fun of me.
06:19Yev, even if you can't marry Nick,
06:21you don't have to settle for the Snake Clan.
06:24They're basically done for.
06:26Don't end up starving yourself before you even have a baby.
06:29I heard they're barely scraping by.
06:31The Wolf Clan is so rich, they even bathe in priceless herbs.
06:36If you have a tough time,
06:40I can send you some leftovers.
06:43She didn't care about the weird looks from everyone around and roared with laughter,
06:47covering her mouth.
06:49In her mind, the Wolf Clan had plenty of resources,
06:53and Dominic was a good catch.
06:54So I got pregnant and had a baby in no time.
06:58But she didn't know the truth.
07:03It was hard for humans and beasts to have kids.
07:07And Dominic was fixated on having an heir.
07:09When I didn't get pregnant after six months,
07:12he started taking his frustration out on me and made my life hell.
07:15It wasn't until I used a special trick to get pregnant and had Frederick
07:19giving the Wolf Clan the power spot.
07:22That he finally left me alone.
07:24I gave a faint smile.
07:27Don't worry about me.
07:28I picked the guy myself, so I'm not gonna regret it.
07:31What's there to brag about?
07:32You just snagged a broke loser!
07:35Being that I wasn't mad at all,
07:36Catherine got so angry she swiped all the cakes off the table.
07:40He'll get pregnant first!
07:41And then send my son to be leader of the Alliance!
07:44I couldn't be bothered with her crazy act
07:46and went to get ready for the wedding in three days.
07:49She was right about one thing.
07:51The Snake Clan was flat broke.
07:53I was worried they wouldn't even have money for a wedding dress,
07:56so I decided to get one myself.
07:59Yet that night,
08:00Jonathan showed up at my door with the wedding dress.
08:05This was the first time I got a good look at him.
08:08His skin was pale, almost bloodless.
08:11His eyes were narrow and had a serious look.
08:14They were bright green and seemed to hide a lot.
08:17The little mole at the corner of his eye made his cold face look a bit charming.
08:21I opened the box and saw a dark, green dress that dragged on the floor.
08:25It had shimmering snake scales on the chest.
08:28I had never seen such a pretty dress before and stared at it in awe.
08:32Ms. Walters,
08:33our clan's simmistress sewed this by hand.
08:36The scales on it are wishes from our people.
08:39Jonathan kept a careful distance,
08:41like Huent, the one getting married to me.
08:44This is the first snake-human wedding ever.
08:47If anything feels off, just let me know.
08:49Thanks.
08:50I love it.
08:51I was about to put the dress away when Catherine strutted in,
08:54hanging off Dominic's arm and looking smug.
08:58Eve, please tell me you've got more than one dress to pick from.
09:02You know what?
09:03Dominic bought me ten.
09:06Dominic was all lovey-dovey with her.
09:09She thought the Volf clan stood for love and loyalty,
09:12but she didn't know it was in their nature.
09:14What truly mattered to them was having kids.
09:17If she didn't have one, Dominic wouldn't be so nice to her.
09:21Jonathan's hand on his snake staff froze.
09:24He looked up at me and said seriously,
09:26Sorry, this is basically a raw deal for you.
09:29I promise I'll never let you down.
09:32Catherine snorted.
09:33Big talk.
09:35We'll see if you can have kids.
09:37She never stopped talking about having kids.
09:40She hadn't been able to have any in her last life,
09:42and she couldn't let it go.
09:44So she was fixated on getting pregnant.
09:47She had moved into Dominic's place before they even got married.
09:51In a way, they were made for each other when it came to having kids.
09:55Focus on your own wedding.
09:57People might think you're after my fiancé again.
10:00I gave Catherine a faint smile.
10:02Ignoring the awkward looks on her and Dominic's faces,
10:05I took Jonathan's hand and left.
10:08Behind us, she started whining to Dominic about getting pregnant and having kids.
10:15Jonathan's voice, all calm and cool, was right in my ear.
10:20Mrs. Walters, I get that you didn't pick me because you wanted to.
10:25Still, I promise I'll do whatever I can to make sure you never get the short end of the stick.
10:29Hearing this, I spun around without even thinking and walked straight into his chest.
10:34A weird, sweet smell hit me like a wave.
10:37I looked up at him and said seriously.
10:39I picked you myself.
10:42And call me Yves from now on.
10:45Stop acting like we're strangers.
10:47His eyes betrayed a fleeting trace of something strange.
10:50Got it, Yves.
10:52Three days later, the wedding happened just like planned.
10:55Both weddings were at the same hotel.
10:58The Volf clan's wedding was way fancier than last time.
11:01They even got the reclusive unicorn clan to perform.
11:05And every big clan showed up.
11:07The snake clan's side was pretty quiet.
11:10There were no guests, but everyone was happy.
11:13Marrying a pure human meant they had a shot at being in charge of the alliance.
11:22After the wedding, I bumped into Catherine.
11:25She stuck out her neck on purpose to show me the love marks.
11:29I didn't know the wolves were so strong in bed.
11:34I'm gonna have a baby soon.
11:36I smiled a little.
11:38Good luck with that.
11:39Catherine thought getting pregnant was easy.
11:42But humans and beasts were different species.
11:44And it usually took over a year to get pregnant naturally.
11:48In her last life, she saw how easily I got pregnant and figured she could do the same.
11:53She told everyone in the Volf clan she'd be pregnant in six months.
11:56Even Dominic believed her right away, seeing how sure she was.
12:01To Catherine, my calm look seemed like I was challenging her.
12:06Whatever.
12:07You wouldn't get it anyway.
12:09The snake clan you're marrying into is dirt poor.
12:14She looked down at the snakes nearby like they were trash, and lifted her dress to walk past me.
12:20I grabbed her arm to stop her.
12:23Say sorry to them.
12:25She got mad, yanked free, and yelled.
12:28What's your problem?
12:30We went at it right there in the hall, and the guests who were still there all stopped to watch
12:34the drama.
12:35In the end, dad stepped in.
12:37He figured out what happened and made Catherine apologize to the snake clan.
12:41They were at the bottom of the heap, but they stood together when humans tried to humiliate them.
12:47Before she left, Catherine gave me a mean look and whispered,
12:51I'm gonna win this time.
12:54On our wedding night, I froze as Jonathan took off his clothes.
12:58Nobody had ever told me snakes had two of them.
13:04Seeing me sitting on the bed like a statue, he thought I didn't want to do it.
13:09His face turned pale.
13:11He picked up the clothes from the floor, and was about to put them back on.
13:15I grabbed the clothes out of his hand, annoyed.
13:18What are you doing?
13:20I thought you didn't want to.
13:23He stood there, naked and looking lost.
13:26His bright green eyes getting dimmer.
13:28If he wasn't gonna make the first move, then I would.
13:31I stepped forward, wrapped my arms around his neck, and pulled him onto the bed.
13:37As I pressed against him, I smelled that familiar faint scent again.
13:42You smell so good.
13:44I said what I was thinking.
13:46Jonathan froze for a few seconds, his ears turning a light pink.
13:50And then his kisses got intense, trailing from my forehead all the way down.
13:55Fingers laced, he enjoyed the moment.
13:57I used to think wolves, with their strong builds, would be the best partners.
14:02But I never expected snakes to be so incredible.
14:06We didn't stop until the sky started to get light, and only then did Jonathan let me sleep.
14:11Three months later, I got the news that Catherine was pregnant.
14:18When I first heard it, I couldn't believe it.
14:21For thousands of years, no beast had ever gotten a human pregnant in just three months.
14:26If I hadn't seen Catherine's baby bump with my own eyes, I wouldn't have bought it.
14:31The wolf clan threw a big party for the unborn baby and invited all the big clans.
14:36Guess our ancestors are looking out for us.
14:38We've got a baby on the way in just three months.
14:41Dominic held his glass, looming with pride.
14:44People lined up to suck up to him.
14:46Everyone was pretty sure that the next leader of the alliance was gonna be from the wolf clan.
14:51This was the perfect chance to get in their good books and maybe score some favors.
14:56By rank, I was supposed to sit with Jonathan at the end of the table.
14:59But Catherine told Dominic to seat me next to her.
15:04She wanted to rub it in my face.
15:08She stroked her belly and flashed me a smug smirk.
15:12It's been three months, yet your belly is still flat.
15:16You're not a pure Walters.
15:17And even your belly isn't up to the task.
15:20Where beast babies were special.
15:22They only needed two months to be born.
15:24Judging by the timeline, it should be next month.
15:27Catherine had gained a lot of weight, and her belly was swollen.
15:32She didn't know that where beast babies were naturally big.
15:35If she didn't watch her diet, she'd be in a lot of pain when it came time to give birth.
15:40In my last life, I tried my best to keep my weight in check.
15:44But it still took a whole day and night to have the baby.
15:47I was in so much pain I almost wanted to end my life.
15:51But when I saw the baby, all safe and sound, sleeping in my arms,
15:55I knew it was worth it.
15:57I picked up my glass, took a sip, and said calmly,
16:04The shortest pregnancy ever was still a year, but you managed it in just three months.
16:10Only you know how you pulled that off.
16:12Catherine turned to me sharply, her eyes flickering with guilt.
16:15What are you implying?
16:17I barely hinted at it, and she started freaking out.
16:20She just couldn't keep her cool.
16:22To an easy birth.
16:23I raised my glass to her, then found Jonathan and left.
16:27A month later, Catherine was in labor for three whole days and nights before she finally had the baby.
16:33But after a week, the wolf clan still hadn't let anyone see the baby.
16:38Dad even got turned away when he tried to visit Catherine.
16:41Something was definitely off with the baby.
16:44Half a month later, Dad called me back home.
16:47Before I left, seeing how worried Jonathan looked, I asked him to come with me.
16:55In the living room, Catherine sat on the floor, bawling her eyes out and holding a red wolf pup.
17:01This is my baby with Dominic!
17:04Wolf fur can change color sometimes, right?
17:07She was dead set on the idea that the baby was Dominic's, but she didn't know that he was a
17:12pure white wolf, and there was no red wolf gene in his family.
17:16Dominic's face was gloomy, and he looked like he was about to explode with anger.
17:22Catherine, who the hell did you cheat with to have this bastard?
17:25If you don't spill the truth, I won't slut! I'll kill him right here!
17:29Dad was scared out of his wits and tried to calm him down.
17:33Dominic, chill out, Dominic. There must be some misunderstanding.
17:37Kathy is crazy about you. She'd never cheat.
17:40Seeing Dad sticking up for her, Catherine quickly held the baby up to Dominic, her voice soft.
17:46Look, our baby looks just like you. Your eyes are the same.
17:53Dominic took the pup with icy indifference.
17:55The pup, who had been sleeping soundly in Catherine's arms, started bawling his head off the moment he saw Dominic's
18:02face.
18:04His miserable crying made me think of Frederick, who was struggling in the fire in my last life.
18:09My heart felt like it was being squeezed, and I winced in pain.
18:14Jonathan noticed something was off with me.
18:16He covered my ears, thinking I couldn't stand the baby's crying.
18:21Bastard!
18:22Dominic cursed, lifting the pup high up and then slamming him down to the ground.
18:27Just as the pup was about to hit the ground, both Jonathan and I reached out instinctively, and he landed
18:32safely in Jonathan's arms.
18:33I wanted to kill Catherine and Dominic, but the pup was innocent.
18:38Everyone there was shocked by what had just happened.
18:41Catherine's face turned deadly pale, and she trembled all over.
18:44Nick, you're so heartless!
18:47Dominic's gaze at her held no trace of the love he once had.
18:53We wolves are loyal and faithful to our partners.
18:56You cheated right in front of everyone.
18:59Who are you to call me heartless?
19:01The only good thing about him was that he was loyal and faithful.
19:04In my last life, when I didn't get pregnant after six months, he never thought about finding another wolf to
19:10have kids with.
19:11Instead, he took his frustration out on me day and night.
19:14I wondered if Catherine could survive this kind of suffering in this life.
19:18Catherine and Dominic went at it in the living room.
19:21She swore blind she never cheated, and he insisted the pup wasn't his.
19:26Dad was at his wits' end and threw the question at me.
19:29Eve, what do you think about all this?
19:31What could I say?
19:32The pup wasn't mine.
19:34I just came to see the drama unfold and didn't want to get involved.
19:38Jonathan chimed in.
19:40I've always heard about the Unicorn Clan's a special way of telling family apart.
19:44The wolves have been on good terms with them.
19:48Why not ask them to check it out?
19:52Catherine shot down the idea right away.
19:55No!
19:56The pup is Dominic's!
19:58We don't need them to tell us that!
20:00But Dominic nodded.
20:02All right.
20:03Let's do it your way.
20:04The news that the wolf clan had called in the unicorn clan spread all over the place.
20:09Everyone was dying to see the pup.
20:11So three days later.
20:13They all rushed to the wolf clan's place and packed into the hall's entrance to see the unicorn do their
20:18magic.
20:19With the unicorn's spell, five red marks flew out from the pup's forehead.
20:23One landed on Dominic's hand.
20:25And the other four went toward the living area of the wolf clan.
20:31Dominic.
20:32You're one of the baby's dads.
20:34Hearing this, the crowd went wild.
20:37One of?
20:38So the baby has several dads?
20:42He looks totally like a red wolf, but Dominic is a pure white one.
20:47Catherine is such a slut.
20:49She should be with the Sphinx clan, not the wolf clan.
20:52Jonathan kept me tucked under his arm as we squeezed through the crowd to watch.
20:56Hearing all the gossip.
20:58I almost laughed out loud.
21:29I had always wondered how Catherine got pregnant.
21:30One into the mix was asking for trouble.
21:32Dominic's face darkened.
21:34He bawled his fists as he barked at the guards.
21:37Go get every guy who's got that red mark on his hand!
21:41In a bit, four wolves were brought in.
21:44Three of them were white, and one was red.
21:47When I saw the red wolf's face, I couldn't help but gasp.
21:51It was gorgeous.
21:52Almost as enchanting as a siren.
21:55Catherine always had a thing for good looks.
21:57So it made sense that she'd risk it all for a fling with him.
22:01Looking at the four wolves who had owned up to it, Dominic was furious.
22:05Got anything else to say, Catherine?
22:08Is this the baby you promised me when you got into my bed?
22:10Catherine stood up, holding the pup and wiping her eyes.
22:15If you hadn't kept pushing me for a baby, I wouldn't have gone this far!
22:19And if you had stronger genes, the baby wouldn't carry the blood of the red wolf!
22:24She started to sound more sure of herself.
22:26Besides, the unicorn said he's your baby too.
22:30That's all that matters!
22:31He's gonna be the next leader of the human-beast alliance!
22:36The second Catherine stopped talking,
22:39the leaders of the Sphinx and Dragon clans shoved their way to the front.
22:43They teamed up to shoot down what she said.
22:46We're not taking this werebeast.
22:48The deal is clear.
22:50It has to be the firstborn son of a human and the heir of a beast clan.
22:56If everyone follows them all, the bloodlines will get all mixed up.
23:01Who knows what weird creatures could come of it?
23:04Hmph.
23:05This has to be okay with the other four big clans.
23:09For starters, we the dragons and the Spines clan aren't having it.
23:14The unicorn clan, standing nearby, quickly made their stance clear.
23:19We've checked out of the spotlight, and we don't vote on this stuff anymore.
23:22Out of the four big clans, one didn't want to pick sides.
23:26Two were against it.
23:27And the last one, the snake clan, wasn't gonna change anything.
23:31Dominic, who had almost felt something because of Catherine's words, lost it again.
23:38Catherine, look what you did!
23:40You made us look like fools!
23:42On the way back after the drama, Jonathan was sullen and quiet.
23:46It took me several tries to get him to speak his mind.
23:49You kept staring at that red wolf.
23:51Think I'm not as good looking or what?
23:53Seeing him all jealous, I got a naughty idea.
23:56You're the hottest guy to me, especially when you roll around in bed at night.
24:00Then I didn't get out of bed all day long.
24:02A month later, Catherine showed up at the snake clan's place, all beat up and crying her eyes out.
24:10Eve, please help me!
24:12Nick has lost it!
24:14He said if I don't have his baby, he'll keep hurting me every day!
24:17I can't take it anymore!
24:19If I don't get pregnant soon, I'm gonna die.
24:23Do you know any special trick that can fix this?
24:28What she said didn't shock me at all.
24:30I went through all that in my last life.
24:33Her skin was black and blue, with new injuries on top of old ones.
24:37But she brought all this on herself.
24:39In my last life, she said she missed me and got me back home.
24:43She drugged the water for me and Frederick.
24:46Then she set the house on fire and trapped us inside when we couldn't move.
24:50Before she left, she glared at me with pure hatred and screamed like she was out of her mind.
24:56Your life was supposed to be mine!
24:59I should have married Nick and had his baby!
25:02Now she took my life, but she started to regret it.
25:05I slid my hand out of her tight grip and said slowly,
25:09Look, it's not that I won't help.
25:11Having a beast's baby is no easy deed.
25:13And after the mess your first delivery left inside you, you won't even be able to try again for at
25:19least three to five years.
25:22She shot to her feet, eyes glittering with pure venom.
25:27You're acting like you can't help because you can't to stay me succeed!
25:32Fine! I'll handle it myself!
25:36No way I'll let you beat me to it!
25:39I'm not losing this race!
25:41Then she stormed out and slammed the door behind her.
25:45I was kinda speechless.
25:47I was telling the truth.
25:49It wasn't easy to have a beast's baby.
25:51In my last life, I only managed it using a special trick because I had mermaid blood in me.
25:57Back then, the mermaids didn't want to make peace with humans and went back to the deep sea to live
26:02in isolation.
26:03Mom was young and playful.
26:05She turned into a human and came to the land for fun, and she fell head over heels for dad.
26:10To stay with dad on land, she chose to cut off her tail and became a human.
26:15Her life was shortened to just five years.
26:18And after she had me, she sealed my beast nature to protect me.
26:22Mermaids got pregnant easily.
26:24In my last life, I removed that seal to have a baby with Dominic.
26:28It was like a slow suicide.
26:31Even though I got pregnant, my mermaid blood kept slipping away.
26:34And so did my life.
26:38In this life, I wasn't gonna do anything that hurt me again.
26:42I thought I wouldn't get pregnant this time around.
26:45But then something unexpected happened.
26:47Two months later, one night when Jonathan put his hand on my belly, he suddenly froze and asked.
26:56When was the last time you had your period?
26:57I thought hard and realized it had been about two months.
27:00But my belly was just a little rounder.
27:03I didn't think it was a pregnancy.
27:05I figured I had put on a bit of weight.
27:07I said, all surprised.
27:10No way.
27:11Seriously?
27:12Before I could get another word out, Jonathan jumped out of bed, got dressed, and rushed out to find a
27:18doctor.
27:19In less than ten minutes, the doctor was in the room.
27:22He felt my pulse.
27:24His brow scrunched up, shaking his head sometimes and nodding at others.
27:30The room was deathly quiet, and Jonathan looked at me, all worried.
27:35Then the doctor stood up.
27:39Congrats, Mr. Logan.
27:41Mrs. Logan is two months pregnant.
27:44Looks like she'll lay the eggs in a few days.
27:47I was calm until I heard that last part.
27:50Wait, lay the eggs?
27:52I thought I was having a baby.
27:56Jonathan chuckled, patting my head.
28:00We're different from other clans.
28:02We lay eggs that hatch into babies.
28:04Ever since I was pregnant, Jonathan had been feeding me all sorts of tonics and not letting me lift a
28:09finger.
28:10He even bought me three nectar fruits, each worth a fortune and considered the best tonic a pregnant woman could
28:16have.
28:17In my last life, Dominic only gave me half a fruit.
28:20The snake clan was broke.
28:22How could they afford three of them?
28:24How can you afford this?
28:26Aren't you-
28:28Jonathan sat next to me and held a clean nectar fruit up to my lips.
28:33Who said we're broke?
28:34Look around our room.
28:36Everything here, from the floor to the vases, is pricey.
28:41I had never looked closely at the room before, but now that I did, I could see that everything was
28:47pretty pricey.
28:49They say you're at the bottom of the heap and don't get any of the good stuff.
28:53Jonathan chuckled.
28:57We keep it low-key.
28:59We make our money in trade, not by using our status to get rich like some other clans.
29:03If you ranked us by wealth, we'd be second to none.
29:06We're all trying to become immortals, and most of our money goes to magic pills and herbs.
29:12There's only so much to go around in this world, and we're not looking to fight other clans for resources.
29:17Our goals are way bigger than that.
29:19Hearing this, I finally got it.
29:21The snakes I met all seemed a bit like they were from another world.
29:25It turned out that they were secretly trying to become immortals.
29:28Once I knew the snake clan had money, I told Jonathan to take me shopping right away.
29:36On the way, we ran into Catherine.
29:39She was pregnant again and holding Dominic's hand as they picked out jewelry.
29:43Dominic had forgiven her for cheating, and now they were back together like nothing happened.
29:49This time, he didn't let her out of his sight, so the baby in her belly could only be his.
29:55Hey Eve, what brings you out shopping?
29:58Catherine put both hands on her belly, rubbing it like she wanted to show off that she was pregnant again.
30:04I smiled.
30:05Dad's birthday is coming.
30:07I'm looking for a gift for him.
30:09She glanced at my and Jonathan's empty hands, and gave a nasty smile.
30:13You guys better pick something nice.
30:16You can't let dad look bad just because you're broke, can you?
30:19My pregnancy wasn't public yet.
30:21Jonathan didn't want me to get upset, so he stepped in front of me.
30:25Our family stuff isn't for you to worry about.
30:28We'll make sure the gift is worthy.
30:30Catherine snorted, flipped her sleeve, and walked off.
30:35At dad's birthday party a week later, Catherine and I sat next to him.
30:40This time, her belly was way bigger than it should be for just one baby, while mine had barely begun
30:46to round.
30:48You knew the trick to getting pregnant all along, but you kept it to yourself.
30:53She sneered.
30:54But this time, I've got the upper hand, and you can't beat me.
30:59Just as I was about to ask her what she meant by upper hand, my belly cramped painfully.
31:05It was the start of labor.
31:07Jonathan saw right away that something was off with me.
31:10He scooped me up and headed for the door, before anyone could ask.
31:14What was wrong?
31:15Catherine clutched her belly and started moaning loudly.
31:19Someone yelled.
31:20She's going into labor.
31:24Get her to the delivery room.
31:26Right then, the sky lit up with purple light.
31:28Rainbows spread everywhere, and birds chirped all around.
31:32It was a sign of great fortune.
31:34Before I lost consciousness, I heard the crowd cheering.
31:40It's a divine sign.
31:42This baby is going to lead us to a golden age.
31:46When I opened my eyes, three eggs were sitting in the incubator next to me.
31:51And Jonathan was wiping the sweat off my body with a towel.
31:58I was about to say something when I heard a scream.
32:00It was Catherine.
32:03I don't want to have this baby.
32:08I can't do this.
32:09Kill me, please.
32:11Hold on, Miss Walters.
32:14You're almost there.
32:16Catherine screamed her guts out while the midwife cheered her on.
32:19Our delivery rooms were separated only by a wall, and she was still in labor.
32:25You were amazing, Eve.
32:28Jonathan whispered, kissing my forehead.
32:31His eyes were filled with worry, guilt, and bottomless love.
32:36It's too noisy here.
32:38Let me take you home so you can rest.
32:40In my last life, after I gave birth, Dominic only cared about the baby.
32:45He didn't give a damn about me.
32:47But Jonathan only had eyes for me.
32:50He didn't even ask me to hatch those eggs.
32:52He kept them in the incubator and watched over them himself.
33:01I'm okay.
33:03I want to check on Catherine.
33:05I got up and went to the next room, leaving Jonathan to watch over the eggs.
33:10Catherine was flat on the bed, crying her eyes out.
33:13Every time she almost passed out from the pain, the midwife would force her eyes open and yell at her
33:19to stay awake.
33:22After about half an hour, the baby was born.
33:25When the midwife saw his face, she screamed in terror.
33:30Monster!
33:31Miss Walters had a monster!
33:34Dominic burst in at the noise.
33:36He froze when he saw what was going on.
33:40I leaned in to take a look and nearly jumped out of my skin.
33:43The baby had three legs and four eyes.
33:49There was Catherine, smiling like a proud mom while the baby with three legs and four eyes sucked on her
33:54breast.
33:55Making loud slurping noises.
33:58Dominic felt like he was gonna puke.
34:00He clapped a hand over his mouth and bolted out of there.
34:03Catherine gave a mocking smile.
34:06It's his baby, but he acts like it's some gross thing.
34:10Word spread fast that the Volf clan had a monster baby.
34:13And it soon caught the attention of the Unicorn clan's witch doctor.
34:17The doctor looked at the drooling monster and asked.
34:23Mrs. Walters?
34:24Did you eat anything weird while you were pregnant?
34:26This baby should have been normal.
34:29Catherine's face turned pale.
34:30She fished a vial from her sleeve with a shaking hand and handed it to the doctor.
34:35I took these.
34:37You can fix my baby, right?
34:39The doctor didn't say anything.
34:41She uncorked the vial and knew what had happened.
34:46These are the rat clans for Tintilly eggs.
34:49A folk remedy says taking one a day for 30 days can get you pregnant.
34:54But it's never made a deformed baby before.
34:56The rat was dragged in right away.
34:59Seeing him, Catherine lunged forward, grabbed his neck, and yelled.
35:05Why isn't my baby normal?
35:07Why did he end up like this?
35:09The rat was terrified, trembling all over.
35:12When he saw the monster, he pushed Catherine away and dropped to his knees before Dominic,
35:17begging for mercy.
35:19Mrs. Walters didn't do what I said.
35:21She must have taken too many fertility eggs or this wouldn't have happened.
35:24Catherine glared at him.
35:26You said taking them for 30 days would get me pregnant.
35:30So I thought if I took them for 60 days, I'd have twins.
35:35Hearing this, everyone got what happened.
35:38If Catherine had taken the fertility eggs like she was told, she'd have had a normal baby.
35:43But she was too greedy.
35:45Once again, the wolf clan became the butt of every joke.
35:51Dominic was in a foul mood.
35:52And that meant things were gonna get worse for Catherine in the wolf clan.
35:56A month later, I was on my way home with some cloth for the babies when I saw
36:01Catherine clutching a basket to her chest and sneaking into an alley.
36:05I heard she had gone nuts from all the torture and kept trying to steal other people's babies in the
36:10wolf clan.
36:10I didn't think much of it and happily went home to wait for my babies to hatch.
36:15But when I got home, the door to my room was wide open, and the three eggs in the incubator
36:20were gone.
36:22In a panic, it hit me that the green cloth on Catherine's basket looked just like the handkerchief I had
36:29left on my desk.
36:32I grabbed the dagger Jonathan had given me for protection and sprinted down the alley where she had disappeared.
36:38At its far end, there was a run-down courtyard, and I could hear her creepy voice coming from inside.
36:45Babies, I'm here with you. Don't be scared.
36:48While she wasn't looking, I slid the dagger up to her throat, ready to end her.
36:54Give my babies back!
36:55But when I got closer, I saw that the eggs in the basket had cracked open, and the little snakes
37:01were gone.
37:02Were they dead or had they run off?
37:04While I was still frozen with shock, Catherine shoved me off and cracked up like a maniac.
37:12My babies are dead! And yours too! Perfect!
37:16Tears welled in my eyes.
37:20I wanted to lunge with the dagger and make her pay for my babies.
37:25Suddenly, Jonathan burst in, and a little silver snake shot out from him.
37:29The snake had his mouth wide open and bit Catherine's neck.
37:33Catherine spat out blood and fell to the ground, dead with her eyes wide open.
37:38The little snake coiled around my arm.
37:42Mom, I got her for you.
37:44It was Frederick's voice.
37:46He was my boy again.
37:47I cupped him in my hands and kissed his forehead.
37:50Nobody really cared that Catherine died.
37:52Dad had cut her off because she made our family look bad, and Dominic was glad she was gone.
37:58Seven days later, my three little snakes took human shape.
38:03Once again, the sky lit up with purple light.
38:05Rainbows spread everywhere, and birds chirped all around.
38:09It was another sign of great fortune.
38:11My whole body glowed gold.
38:13In a second, I had a bright green snake tail, and my eyes turned bright green too.
38:19Then the Lord of Heaven's voice boomed.
38:21Ivana Walters, the snake fairy, broke the magic cauldron a thousand years ago just for fun,
38:28throwing the three realms into chaos.
38:30Now that you've gone through sen lives of trials, you can come back to Heaven and take your job.
38:36In an instant, a ton of memories flooded my mind.
38:42I had been a flower, a stone, a unicorn, and a mermaid, but in every life, Jonathan was right there
38:50watching my back.
38:51He could have become an immortal long ago, but in the tenth life, he gave up a thousand years of
38:56hard work just to save me.
38:58Before I left, Jonathan took my hand.
39:03Eve, wait for me.
39:05I'll be up in Heaven with you soon.
39:07The blessings of my ascension rained down upon the earth, and the snake clan bowed in reverence.
39:13Farewell to snake fairy.
39:15May you protect our clan, and keep us strong forever.
39:20In a burst of white light, I was back in Heaven, becoming the snake fairy who looked after flowers.
39:26Five hundred years later, I was sleeping in when a strange smell hit me.
39:31And suddenly, someone I knew all too well wrapped me in a firm embrace.
39:36Jonathan's voice rang in my ear.
39:38Eve, I'm back.
