00:00:09my father bought a pair of twin serpent shifters from a pile of corpses in the underground black
00:00:14market my younger sister chose the older brother at once the one who had fallen for her at first
00:00:19sight that left only the younger one the mute brother i knew any shifter who was not chosen
00:00:24would be sent off for humane euthanasia so i took pity on him and kept him
00:00:30he could not speak so i took him from doctor to doctor trying to cure his musis
00:00:36i practiced sign language for two hours every day just so i could communicate with him
00:00:42he was frail and because he was a serpent shifter the other bodyguards often picked on him so i
00:00:49secretly trained in combat myself strengthening my body so i could pay them back one by one on his
00:00:55behalf i thought my sincerity would earn his loyalty until the day the estate villa caught fire
00:01:00with both my sister and me pinned beneath fallen beams he looked at us and chose her without hesitation
00:01:07i'm sorry i have to save chloe first so he could speak after all as the flame slowly swallowed me
00:01:14whole he signed something only i could understand
00:01:19i owe you more than i can repay in this life and the next i will pay you back with
00:01:24my life
00:01:28when i opened my eyes again i was back to the day we were choosing our shifter bodyguards
00:01:34i stood there in a daze until i felt blood welling in my palm from how hard i was clenching
00:01:39my hand
00:01:41only then did i realize this was not a dream
00:01:45my sister shot me a glance then tugged on father's sleeve with a sugary smile
00:01:50dad if olivia isn't choosing then let me go first
00:01:58as she spoke father watched her indulgently while she flitted between the two tall serpent shifters
00:02:03like a cheerful little bird though they kept the upper bodies of men their long serpentine tails
00:02:09slid restlessly across the floor and their cold slit pupils shown with caution i think i'll take adam
00:02:15olivia is always by herself so she really needs a strong serpent shifter to protect her
00:02:20she sounded thoughtful and caring but her eyes never left the older brother alex not for even a second
00:02:25i kept my expression calm but the scene from my previous life came rushing back she had done the
00:02:30same thing then the one she truly wanted had always been alex yet she put on a show of concern
00:02:34and offered to leave him to me what i had not understood then was that her retreat had only ever
00:02:39been a tactic looking at her performance i had genuinely believed she meant it so i refused no matter
00:02:44what i could not bear to let her compromise and i did not want adam the younger brother to be
00:02:48put to
00:02:48death either until the day of the fire
00:02:54even then she was still saying save my sister first while reaching for adam at the first chance
00:03:02she got even though her own bodyguard alex was right beside her even though where she stood was
00:03:07far safer than where i was she was always like this certain i would soften certain the trick would
00:03:12work she never suffered any real loss yet somehow still walked away with a glowing reputation but
00:03:18this time i agreed whatever chloe wants my answer was so unexpected that the smile froze on her face
00:03:24she was not the only one shocked adam jerked his head up and stared at me surprise flashing through
00:03:29those cold reptilian slit pupils no father said sharply chloe is the delicate one she's the one who
00:03:39needs the better bodyguard this younger brother can't even talk he doesn't deserve to stay by her
00:03:45side understanding dawned on me so father had known all along yet he still brought adam here rather than
00:03:53truly letting my sister and me choose this whole thing had only been a performance to make it look
00:03:57fair i'm fine my sister had just started to relax ready to speak when adam suddenly opened his mouth
00:04:04sir i can speak i could not help glancing at him again in my previous life adam had spoken only
00:04:11once before i died and now he was talking already then i caught the understakeable wariness in his eyes
00:04:17and i knew for certain adam had been reborn too watching him fight so hard for this chance only made
00:04:24his final promise for my last life seemed even more ridiculous but that was fine i did not want him
00:04:30anymore either relying on the serpent shifter's natural agility and his constricting strength adam
00:04:36took down several retired special forces men standing beside father even father who had opposed the idea
00:04:45began to waver my sister lit up with delight she had always preferred adam's refined handsome looks
00:04:52if he had not been mute she would have been her first choice from the very beginning
00:04:59all right then adam will stay with chloe from now on as for alex he turned to the other brother
00:05:09you'll go with olivia
00:05:14at father's order a dark look settled over alex's face his icy snake tail lashed the floor in irritation
00:05:21then gritting his teeth he bent down and melt sir please forgive me but i cannot obey what do you
00:05:28mean by that father might favor my sister but i was still his daughter for alex to refuse him in
00:05:34front of
00:05:35everyone was an open show of disrespect if you refuse to protect my daughter then you can go straight to
00:05:42the disposal chamber i had known in my previous life that the shifter bodyguard's father bought at
00:05:47enormous cost would be sent to the disposal chamber for humana eutherasia if they were not chosen i could
00:05:54not bear to watch a living person die before my eyes so i had kept adam by my side this
00:05:59time it was alex's
00:06:00turn i still said nothing but my sister panicked she rushed forward and grabbed alex's arm trying
00:06:08to pull him up from the floor alex if you don't go with olivia you'll die but alex only looked
00:06:14at
00:06:14her with naked devotion and shook his head firmly if i cannot protect chloe then death means nothing to
00:06:19me at that a blush rose across my sister's face i could not help laughing olivia can you really just
00:06:27stand there and watch him die tears shimmered in my sister's eyes as she turned to face me from the
00:06:33brother's angle she looked heartbreakingly fragile dad if alex is this loyal to chloe then let both
00:06:38brothers stay with her i spoke up at just the right moment one more won't make a difference and neither
00:06:46will two that landed exactly where it needed to from the moment the two serpent shifters had appeared

00:07:20approval written plainly across father's face i also caught the note of scrutiny in adam's eyes
00:07:26but i had no interest in guessing what he was thinking and even less in caring

00:07:39poured
00:07:39everything into holding on to adam in the process i forgot to secure my footing within this family

00:31:27my younger sister chose the older brother at once the one who had fallen for her at first sight that
00:31:33left only the younger one the mute brother i knew any shifter who was not chosen would
00:31:37be sent off for humane euthanasia so i took pity on him and kept him he could not speak so
00:31:44i took him
00:31:44from doctor to doctor trying to cure his musis i practiced sign language for two hours every day just
00:31:52so i could communicate with him he was frail and because he was a serpent shifter the other bodyguards
00:31:59often picked on him so i secretly trained in combat myself strengthening my body so i could pay them
00:32:06back one by one on his behalf i thought my sincerity would earn his loyalty until the day the estate
00:32:12villa caught fire with both my sister and me pinned beneath fallen beams he looked at us and chose her
00:32:18without hesitation i'm sorry i have to save chloe first so he could speak after all as the flame slowly

00:32:34life
00:32:34and the next i will pay you back with my life
00:32:41when i opened my eyes again i was back to the day we were choosing our shifter bodyguards
00:32:47i stood there in a daze until i felt blood welling in my palm from how hard i was clenching
00:32:52my hand
00:32:53only then did i realize this was not a dream
00:32:58my sister shot me a glance then tugged on father's sleeve with a sugary smile dad if olivia isn't
00:33:05choosing then let me go first as she spoke father watched her indulgently while she flitted between
00:33:14the two tall serpent shifters like a cheerful little bird though they kept the upper bodies of men their long
00:33:20serpentine tails slid restlessly across the floor and their cold slit pupils shown with caution
00:33:26i think i'll take adam olivia is always by herself so she really needs a strong serpent shifter to
00:33:32protect her she sounded thoughtful and caring but her eyes never left the older brother alex not for
00:33:37even a second i kept my expression calm but the scene from my previous life came rushing back she had
00:33:42done the same thing then the one she truly wanted had always been alex yet she put on a show
00:33:46of concern
00:33:47and offered to leave him to me what i had not understood then was that her retreat had only
00:33:51ever been a tactic looking at her performance i had genuinely believed she meant it so i refused no
00:33:56matter what i could not bear to let her compromise and i did not want adam the younger brother to
00:34:01be
00:34:01put to death either until the day of the fire
00:34:07even then she was still saying save my sister first while reaching for adam at the first chance she got
00:34:15even though her own bodyguard alex was right beside her even though where she stood was far safer than
00:34:21where i was she was always like this certain i would soften certain a trick would work she never suffered
00:34:26any real loss yet somehow still walked away with a glowing reputation but this time i agreed whatever
00:34:32chloe wants my answer was so unexpected that the smile froze on her face she was not the only one
00:34:37shocked adam jerked his head up and stared at me surprise flashing through those cold reptilian slit pupils
00:34:45no father said sharply chloe is the delicate one she's the one who needs the better bodyguard
00:34:53this younger brother can't even talk he doesn't deserve to stay by her side understanding dawned on me
00:35:01so father had known all along yet he still brought adam here rather than truly letting my sister and me
00:35:07choose this whole thing had only been a performance to make it look fair i'm fine my sister had just
00:35:13started to relax ready to speak when adam suddenly opened his mouth sir i can speak i could not help
00:35:19glancing at him again in my previous life adam had spoken only once before i died and now he was
00:35:26talking already then i caught the understakeable wariness in his eyes and i knew for certain adam
00:35:32had been reborn too watching him fight so hard for this chance only made his final promise for my last
00:35:38life seemed even more ridiculous but that was fine i did not want him anymore either relying on the
00:35:45serpent shifter's natural agility and his constricting strength adam took down several retired special
00:35:51forces men standing beside father even father who had opposed the idea began to waver my sister lit up
00:36:00with delight she had always preferred adam's refined handsome looks if he had not been mute she would
00:36:07have been her first choice from the very beginning all right then adam will stay with chloe from now on
00:36:15as for alex he turned to the other brother

00:54:15i think i'll take adam olivia is always by herself so she really needs a strong serpent shifter to
00:54:20protect her she sounded thoughtful and caring but her eyes never left the older brother alex not for
00:54:25even a second i kept my expression calm but the scene from my previous life came rushing back she had
00:54:30done the same thing then the one she truly wanted had always been alex yet she put on a show
00:54:34of concern
00:54:35and offered to leave him to me what i had not understood then was that her retreat had only
00:54:39ever been a tactic looking at her performance i had genuinely believed she meant it so i refused no
00:54:44matter what i could not bear to let her compromise and i did not want adam the younger brother to
00:54:49be
00:54:49put to death either until the day of the fire even then she was still saying save my sister first
00:55:00while reaching for adam at the first chance she got even though her own bodyguard alex was right
00:55:06beside her even though where she stood was far safer than where i was she was always like this
00:55:11certain i would soften certain the trick would work she never suffered any real loss yet somehow still
00:55:16walked away with a glowing reputation but this time i agreed whatever chloe wants my answer was so
00:55:22unexpected that the smile froze on her face she was not the only one shocked adam jerked his head up
00:55:27and
00:55:28stared at me surprise flashing through those cold reptilian slit pupils
00:55:34no father said sharply chloe is the delicate one she's the one who needs the better bodyguard
00:55:41this younger brother can't even talk he doesn't deserve to stay by her side understanding dawned on me
00:55:49so father had known all along yet he still brought adam here rather than truly letting my sister and me
00:55:55choose this whole thing had only been a performance to make it look fair i'm fine my sister had just
00:56:01started to relax ready to speak when adam suddenly opened his mouth sir i can speak i could not help
00:56:08glancing at him again in my previous life adam had spoken only once before i died and now he was
00:56:14talking already then i caught the understakeable wariness in his eyes and i knew for certain adam
00:56:20had been reborn too watching him fight so hard for this chance only made his final promise for my last
00:56:26life seemed even more ridiculous but that was fine i did not want him anymore either relying on the
00:56:33serpent shifter's natural agility and his constricting strength adam took down several retired special forces
00:56:39of his men standing beside father even father who had opposed the idea began to waver my sister lit
00:56:48up with delight she had always preferred adam's refined handsome looks if he had not been mute she would
00:56:55have been her first choice from the very beginning all right then adam will stay with chloe from now on
00:57:04as for alex he turned to the other brother
00:57:09you'll go with olivia
00:57:15at father's order a dark look settled over alex's face his icy snake tail lashed the floor in an irritation
00:57:22then gritting his teeth he bent down and melt
00:57:26sir please forgive me but i cannot obey what do you mean by that father might favor my sister
00:57:32but i was still his daughter for alex to refuse him in front of everyone was an open show of
00:57:38disrespect if you refuse to protect my daughter then you can go straight to the disposal chamber
00:57:44i had known in my previous life that the shifter bodyguard's father bought at enormous cost would be
00:57:50sent to the disposal chamber for humana eutherasia if they were not chosen i could not bear to watch a
00:57:55living person die before my eyes so i had kept adam by my side this time it was alex's turn
00:58:02i still said nothing but my sister panicked she rushed forward and grabbed alex's arm trying to
00:58:09pull him up from the floor alex if you don't go with olivia you'll die but alex only looked at
00:58:15her with naked devotion and shook his head firmly if i cannot protect chloe then death means nothing to
00:58:20me at that a blush rose across my sister's face i could not help laughing olivia can you really just
00:58:28stand there and watch him die tears shimmered in my sister's eyes as she turned to face me from the
00:58:33brother's angle she looked heartbreakingly fragile dad if alex is this loyal to chloe then let both
00:58:39brothers stay with her i spoke up at just the right moment one more won't make a difference and neither
00:58:47will too that landed exactly where it needed to from the moment the two serpent shifters had appeared
00:58:54her eyes had never once left them father fell silent for a moment thinking it over
00:59:01olivia then what about you it's okay dad i'm the older sister of course i should give in to chloe
00:59:08everyone turned to look at me i only lowered my head and did my best to look considerate and
00:59:13understanding father smiled olivia's finally grown up but how will your safety be protected
00:59:19i lifted my head and saw the approval written plainly across father's face i also caught the
00:59:25note of scrutiny in adam's eyes but i had no interest in guessing what he was thinking and even less
00:59:30in
00:59:31caring send me to work at my brother's company dad i'll take care of myself in my previous life i
00:59:39had
00:59:39poured everything into holding on to adam in the process i forgot to secure my footing within this
00:59:45family there were three children in the house and i was the middle one i was not like my older
00:59:53brother
00:59:54burdened with father's expectations and i was not like my younger sister doled on as the baby of the
01:00:00family when i was seven i was sent away to a remote country villa and left to fend for myself
01:00:08i had only been brought back two years ago my brother was ruthless in business every time he
01:00:14returned from a trip he brought chloe designer handbags and limited edition jewelry even the
01:00:20lifestyle assistant at her side lived better than i did in my previous life i had to save up from
01:00:26my
01:00:26meager allowance just to pay adam's medical bills so if i wanted to improve my standing i had to prove
01:00:34my
01:00:34value my brother had never cared much for the unwanted sister of the family
01:00:43he did not meet with me personally he merely had the hr director assign me to the logistics department
01:00:50then ignored me after that i said nothing and quietly focused on my work i had not forgotten the business
01:00:57knowledge i learned in my previous life if anything i had become even better when the company became locked
01:01:04in a fierce acquisition battle with a rival i used sharp data analysis and negotiation tactics to
01:01:11secure the key project in one move only then did my brother formally met with me as a reward he
01:01:18transferred me into the core business division the company needed capable people and on top of that i was
01:01:24family that made me someone he could trust because of that i also came to know many of the group's
01:01:30inner secrets after i secured another major order my brother openly praised my contribution at the
01:01:36board meeting almost overnight my name spread through our social cluster i even outshined my sister
01:01:41who had worked so hard to build her image as a perfect socialist the day i returned to the estate
01:01:47villa
01:01:49she stormed into my room behind her stood the twin serpent shifter bodyguards flanking her on either
01:01:56side in a protective stance at a single look from her adam's snake body snapped toward me like a whip
01:02:01i never saw it coming the blow hit me hard and sent me crashing to the floor my sister curled
01:02:07her red
01:02:07lips into a cruel smile olivia let me teach you how a real heiress is supposed to act
01:02:34my father bought a pair of twin serpent shifters from a pile of corpses in the underground black market
01:02:39my younger sister chose the older brother at once the one who had fallen for her at first sight that
01:02:45left only the younger one the mute brother i knew any shifter who was not chosen would be sent off
01:02:51for
01:02:51humane euthanasia so i took pity on him and kept him he could not speak so i took him from
01:02:57doctor to
01:02:57doctor trying to cure his muses i practiced sign language for two hours every day just so i could
01:03:05communicate with him he was frail and because he was a serpent shifter the other bodyguards often picked
01:03:13on him so i secretly trained in combat myself strengthening my body so i could pay them back one by
01:03:19one on his
01:03:20behalf i thought my sincerity would earn his loyalty until the day the estate villa caught
01:03:25fire with both my sister and me pinned beneath fallen beams he looked at us and chose her without
01:03:31hesitation i'm sorry i have to save chloe first so he could speak after all as the flame slowly
01:03:39swallowed me whole he signed something only i could understand i owe you more than i can repay in this
01:03:46life
01:03:47and the next i will pay you back with my life
01:03:53when i opened my eyes again i was back to the day we were choosing our shifter bodyguards
01:03:59i stood there in a daze until i felt blood welling in my palm from how hard i was clenching
01:04:04my hand
01:04:06only then did i realize this was not a dream
01:04:10my sister shot me a glance then tugged on father's sleeve with a sugary smile dad if olivia isn't
01:04:18choosing then let me go first as she spoke father watched her indulgently while she flitted between
01:04:26the two tall serpent shifters like a cheerful little bird though they kept the upper bodies of men their long
01:04:33serpentine tails slid restlessly across the floor and their cold slit pupils shown with caution
