What if your murderer showed up at your rebirth—holding the same cheat code?

One sister stabs you in the belly and laughs while your unborn children die.
The next time you open your eyes? You’re back at the Fox Clan’s talent ceremony—two glowing orbs hovering in the air: purple for genetic evolution, red for multiple births.
And there she is—Selena—your older sister, smiling sweetly as she grabs the red orb.
Not the “best” one. Not the one she stole last time.
She chose the path you were forced into.
That’s when Vera knows: Selena was reborn too. And she’s already playing a different game.

The trap snaps shut—and Vera wears exile like a crown

Selena doesn’t just pick multiple births. She performs it—flirting with Damien, heir of the Serpent Clan, declaring she’ll give him “a dozen heirs”, then turning to Vera with syrup-sweet generosity: “I left the best talent for you.”
Vera smiles. Lets her think she’s won.
Then, in front of every elite on the continent, Selena drops the bomb: “Vera’s been meeting the Raven heir. She keeps his feathers by her bed.”
No proof. No warning. Just black feathers—glinting gold at the edges—pulled from Vera’s room by trembling maids.
The Fox Clan Leader doesn’t hesitate. He strikes Vera with a golden whip.
Kael steps forward—not as a lover, but as a shield—his voice quiet, unshaken: “I never met Princess Vera before today. These claims are false.”
But it’s too late.
The verdict? Ninety-nine lashes—or death.
Vera doesn’t flinch. Doesn’t beg.
She walks to the platform, blood already soaking her robes—and when the final lash falls, she turns to Kael, raw and bleeding, and says:
“I’ll take the lashes and leave. Kael—will you take me as your mate?”

That smile after the lashing? It’s not relief. It’s ignition.

She didn’t choose Kael out of desperation.
She chose him because she saw the gold in his feathers—the same shimmer her mother whispered about before she died. Golden Eagle blood.
She chose him because she holds genetic evolution—the so-called “useless legend”—and he’s the only one whose lineage could make it real.
While Selena gloats beside Damien, whispering “A raven? What can he protect?”, Vera’s already calculating: their child won’t just rival Selena’s serpent heir.
It could devour it.
And when Kael whispers “You’ll never suffer again,” it’s not a promise—it’s the first vow in a war no one else sees coming yet.
