Choosing Merman Over Dragon
In my previous life, my sister set her sights on the formidable river dragon and married him without hesitation.
I chose the unassuming merman.
She thought she would ascend as the queen of the dragon clan. However, when the river dragon failed his ascension trial, my sister, as his mate, was caught in the fallout and narrowly escaped death.
Meanwhile, the merman unexpectedly inherited the Sea God’s Legacy and rose to become ocean royalty. Everyone knew I was to become the empress.
At the celebratory banquet, my sister poisoned my wine.
Reborn into a new life, my sister rushed toward the merman and chose him, saying, “The empress’ throne will be mine!”
Little did she know that the merfolk’s true nature was cruel, finding pleasure in tormenting others.
