In my past life, I sacrificed everything to raise a magnificent golden phoenix, only for him to betray me with my sister and leave me to die. Reborn on the day of the Pact Ceremony, I refuse to be their stepping stone again! Instead of the arrogant bird, I choose a dying, worthless black snake. But surprise—my fragile snake transforms into Kieran, a devastatingly handsome and fiercely protective ancient Leviathan heir! While my sister and the cheating phoenix face their miserable karma , Kieran and I are busy ascending to the very top. Vengeance has never looked this good.
