In a world where spirit beasts reign supreme, I was undoubtedly the lowest of the low.
There was only one reason: spirit beasts all loved beauty, and a large black birthmark covered the left side of my face.
I thought I would die before reaching adulthood because I couldn’t find a spirit beast to form a pact with. Then, to my surprise, Feng Lin the phoenix chose me.
I thought I was special to him.
But when the dragon lord bound by oath to my elder sister went berserk, Feng Lin shoved me forward without a moment’s hesitation.
My elder sister and I looked exactly alike, apart from the birthmark.
It turned out I was only a fallback he had kept for my elder sister.
