After being reborn, my sister and I became sworn enemies.
Chapter 1
My sister, Bethany, and I married into the
Phoenix Clan at the same time, and wouldn’t
you know it, we ended up pregnant at the
same time, too.
Bethany gave birth to a pureblood golden
phoenix. The eldest prince, whom she was
married to, was immediately named the next
leader of the clan.
Me? I popped out a speckled chicken. I was
immediately labeled cursed, and my husband,
Prince Wyatt, was executed because of it.
But after I died, I found out the truth: that
chicken was Bethany’s kid!
く
It was all a plot hatched by her and the eldest
prince to hide his mixed bloodline and steal
the Phoenix Clan throne.
I opened my eyes again, and I was back
before the birth. Bethany was visiting me with.
a mountain of ‘get well‘ gifts…

“Ever since I got pregnant, I can only sleep in
the room next to the sycamore tree.
Otherwise, I just can’t fall asleep. And
sometimes, blue jays and robins surround me, chirping non–stop. It must be the little one inside me acting up.”
Watching Bethany, my sister, feign concern as she touched her belly and talked about the “strange occurrences” happening around her
since she got pregnant, I knew: I was reborn.
A speckled chicken laying eggs next to a
sycamore tree? Surrounded by robins? What
a joke.
But I wasn’t about to call her out on her lies
right then and there. After all, she’d been
plotting this since she got pregnant. I couldn’t
expose her with just a few words.
I smiled and said, “All those strange things
happening around you, sis, sounds like you’re
carrying a little phoenix!”
Bethany’s face lit up at those words.
But all I could feel was the malice hidden
behind her smile.
Bethany and I were daughters of the Bluebird
Clan, but our dad never loved me. Mom
blamed me for not being a son, for losing my
dad’s affection. She poured all her love into
Bethany.
Bethany was the only one who ever bothered
to check on me. She was the only person I
was close to.
We both married into the Phoenix Clan. She
married Prince Finnick, as gentle as they
come. I married Prince Wyatt, brave and
skilled in battle. And we both got pregnant at
the same time.
So when she came to visit with gifts and
invited me to the Serenity Ranch to relax, I
didn’t suspect a thing.
But little did I know, it was the start of my
nightmare.
In my past life, I only learned after my death
that my husband’s and my tragic ends were
all part of a conspiracy orchestrated by
Bethany and Prince Finnick.
Finnick was the product of the Queen’s affair.
a mixed–breed chicken. So, Bethany was
naturally carrying a mixed–breed chicken egg.
The Phoenix King was old and wanted to see
a pureblood phoenix born before he died. He
ordered all newborn eggs to be brought to
the royal palace to hatch.
Finnick was terrified that his bloodline would
be discovered. If that happened, he’d be dead
meat.
く
And if Finnick died, Bethany would lose her
prestigious title as the eldest prince’s wife
and be sent back to the Bluebird Clan.
No matter what, Bethany’s egg had to be a
pureblood.
So Bethany and Finnick set their sights on
- me.
They teamed up with the Queen, drugged me
when I was exhausted from labor, and
swapped out my pureblood golden phoenix
egg.
If I hadn’t overheard it all after my death, I
never would have believed that my sister,
whom I’d grown up with, would do something
like that to me!
L
To cover up their dirty deed, they not only
swapped my egg but also slandered me for
giving birth to an inauspicious chicken,
throwing me into the dungeon.
My husband used his military achievements to
save me, but he was accused of impure
bloodline and sentenced to death.
But Bethany didn’t stop there. She came to
mock me, saying, “You really are a jinx, just
like Mom said. You made Mom fall out of
favor at home, and now you’ve caused your
husband’s execution. What good are you
alive? You might as well be dead.”
After saying that, she ordered the guards to
throw me into demon territory, where I was
torn to pieces and brutally murdered.
Looking at Bethany’s smug face now, I
suppressed the immense hatred in my heart.
This time, I’ll protect my child and make them.
pay!
