Chapter 1

"Ever since I became pregnant, I had to sleep in the room next to the sycamore tree. Otherwise, I can't sleep at all. Sometimes flocks of colorful birds and magpies gather around me, chirping endlessly. It must be the little one in my belly causing all the commotion."I looked at my sister, Freya Horn, as she feigned distress and made a show out of rubbing her belly while recounting the strange signs that had been happening since she became pregnant.It was then that I realized I had been reborn.A pheasant egg having to sleep next to a sycamore tree? Magpies circling a tree? What a joke.Regardless, I knew better than to call her out on the spot. Since she had been setting up her act since I was pregnant, it would take more than a brisk comment for me to expose her.I smiled and remarked, "Hey, sis, with all these strange things happening around you, it looks like you’re going to give birth to a little phoenix, eh?"Freya beamed at the suggestion.Unbeknownst to her, I sensed t

Chapter 2

A non-phoenix giving birth to a golden phoenix needed the Phoenix Clan's divine power to protect the mother from the blazing fire of the golden phoenix egg.However, Freya and Queen Songhart refused to summon Asgon. They even tried to persuade me. "Asgon is now in the midst of battle with the demons. You can’t distract him at such a crucial moment! Just put up a screen. Emmett will protect you."Asgon's mother was a lowly concubine, and Asgon had ascended to his current position thanks to his military merits. If he were to withdraw from the frontlines because of me, his reputation would suffer.With that, I took their advice and did not send for him. That was how I ended up being surrounded by Queen Songhart’s maids and midwife during the birthing process.During delivery, Queen Songhart took over and silently swapped my egg.There was no way I'd let them have their way again in this life!After crushing the jade pendant, I instructed my maid, Somi Wynn, to pack up my belonging

Chapter 3

That was when I felt the fireblood in my body coming to a boil and seemed to erupt. It hurt so much that I cried out in pain.Horrified by my cry of anguish, my maids and guards hurried me into the villa.Queen Songhart remarked cheerily, "She’s surrounded by fire, so it must be a phoenix! There is a sycamore tree house in the villa. Take her there for her to deliver the egg!"That was when something flashed in Freya's eyes. She cast a spell over herself so she would also deliver prematurely and then let out a sharp yelp. She clenched her teeth and announced that she was going into labor as well."What should we do? There is only one sycamore house in the villa!" Emmett played along as well.There was no need for a sycamore tree if she was only laying a bastard egg! I knew they only wanted to use the chaos to switch the eggs!Sweat poured down my face from the pain I was going through at this point, and I was losing my cool. All I could do was instruct my maids to surround me wit

Chapter 4

I began to cry uncontrollably.The accumulated anxiety since the moment of my rebirth and the horror I felt of being threatened all vanished when I saw Asgon.Emmett seemed completely livid as he stood in place. His previous confidence had all but vanished.Asgon was nothing like Emmett, who spent his days lazing around. Ever since he entered the battlefield, his aura had grown indescribably imposing. Despite his mother's lowly status, even the Phoenix King himself had considered appointing Asgon his heir until Queen Songhart dissuaded him from the idea.In my previous life, he was distressed when he found out I had laid a pheasant egg. He was convinced it was a sign of his inferior bloodline.Despite the skepticism and pressure from the Phoenix King and the royal family, he chose to bargain for my safety in exchange for his battlefield achievements.However, Queen Songhart and Emmett would not let the true father of the phoenix child survive. They fabricated evidence proving tha

Asgon cast a spell and channeled it into Aunt Rue’s body before threatening her, "If you let anything slip, the spell will kill you instantly before you even realize what’s happening!"Aunt Rue nodded frantically and did not utter a word. She fixed her expression to look composed before retreating from the room.Soon, I heard Freya’s voice, shrill with delight, coming from the adjacent room. She cried out ecstatically, "My prince, Your Majesty! I've laid a pure-bred golden phoenix egg!"Emmett and Queen Songhart’s spirits brightened in an instant upon hearing this. They poured into the room to see her and seemed to have forgotten about me and Asgon.Asgon and I exchanged a smile. Then, he carried me and the golden egg back to our home.I fell asleep in the carriage on the way.When I woke up, I found myself in our palace.By then, Freya had spread the news of her pure-blooded golden phoenix egg far and wide.The Phoenix King was overjoyed. Soon, a steady stream of gifts found t

I chuckled as I watched her scampering away from behind.A purebred golden phoenix egg did require an immense amount of spirit power to hatch. I already had my chamber filled with spirit stones, and even Asgon had set aside his duties just to focus on incubating our phoenix egg.As for Freya’s mixed-bred pheasant egg… the injection of an overwhelming amount of spirit power would kill the hatching.I was eager to see the outcome.Freya must have been convinced that I was the actual mother of the golden phoenix egg because, after that, she had the Phoenix King invest in a large amount of spirit stones.Even Queen Songhart began to frequent Emmett’s chambers with her cohorts.Over time, the three of them began to look increasingly haggard.Freya stayed by the "golden phoenix egg" every day, as if afraid that even a moment's negligence would cause the egg to lose the divine power it needed to hatch.The next time I saw her, she was as thin as a twig, and her cheeks had become sunke

Chapter 7

With that, there was no satisfying resolution. It was decided that the decision would have to wait until the golden phoenix was hatched.Freya cradled the "golden phoenix egg" while flashing a smug smile at me. I observed how sallow and shriveled her skin had become.I wondered how she would react when she realized the egg she was cradling was the pheasant egg she had laid herself. It would be quite the spectacle.The Phoenix King and the ministers had arrived at a compromise. With this, it was publicly known that when the golden phoenix hatched, the father would become the successor to the throne.With that, Freya would also become the Crown Princess.Upon hearing the news, my parents personally came to visit Freya to shower her with gifts.Meanwhile, all I got was some perfunctory gifts in the form of several sugared eggs.Mother hardly cared to take another glance at me. She was more occupied with herself and remarked scornfully, "Your sister Freya has always been a model chi

Everyone clutched their hands and eagerly awaited the phoenix's arrival.Freya was the most excited of them all. She was trying to contain her elation.Emmett could not sit still. If he could, he would have cracked the egg open to spawn the phoenix right then and there.Though Queen Songhart looked remarkably poised, one could still see the excitement underneath the surface.Soon, the shell of the golden egg cracked under everyone's watchful eyes. The crack began to widen.Everyone was elated to see this. It was what they came for: a phoenix was about to be born!Underneath the collective attention of the audience, a faint chirp emerged from underneath the shell.Before anyone could figure out what was happening, a pheasant's head popped out of the shell."A pheasant? Where's the phoenix?!"The Phoenix King's expression shifted in an instant. He shot up despite his weakened state and ran up to the incubation altar to scrutinize the egg. He tried desperately to make sure his ey

Chapter 9

In my past life, Asgon was killed because they had forced him to exert the very last drop of his divine power!Freya was furious. It was then that she realized everything I had told her was a lie. The egg had never been swapped! The pheasant she was looking at was the one she had given birth to!The Phoenix King listened to everything relayed to him. He had been ruling for long enough to see through the foolish act Queen Songhart and Emmett had committed.His face darkened in an instant. He immediately gave the order for Queen Songhart to be imprisoned. Then, the Prince was taken to a platform to have his blood examined to determine his lineage!Everything Asgon had gone through in my previous life was now inflicted on Emmett instead.The color was drained from his lips. He cried hysterically while pleading, "Father, please spare me!"The Phoenix King ignored his pleas and ordered the execution to proceed.A blinding bolt of divine light burst out when the sword slashed against

Chapter 10

After the crowning ceremony ended, I returned to the palace only to find Mother waiting for me.I cocked an eyebrow at her and asked briskly, "What is it? Do you need anything?"She seemed to be stewing in rage, but lowered her head when she noticed the phoenix pin in my hair. She realized I was no longer the defenseless daughter whom she could shove around according to her whims.She began to plead with me to save Freya, "Freya is your sister! She has been looking out for you since you were a kid. Are you not going to help her?"I scoffed. "Didn’t you hear that Freya was the one who planned to swap her egg with mine? If I hadn't caught on, I would be the one in the dungeon as we speak!"She cried out exasperatedly, "But you’re fine now, aren’t you? You didn’t end up losing anything, but Freya got disfigured and even lost her husband!"I was completely indifferent to her pleas. At that point, I was done talking to her and had her kicked out.A few days later, while I was playing
