The Phoenix King’s Forbidden Second Mate

I am the Second Princess of the Phoenix Court, and I loved a lowly black serpent. In my past life, I chose him at the Divine Pact Ceremony, gave him everything, and married him. On our wedding day, while I was three months pregnant, he shot an arrow through me and whispered: 'If not for you, I'd be with Seraphina. You should have died long ago.' He only wanted power—and he always loved my sister. When I reopened my eyes, we were back at the ceremony. He knelt and confessed his love for my sister, begging not to be bound to me. The clan pitied me. But I just smiled and pointed to a small white serpent nearby. He didn't know—only the one I choose can become the true heir.
