Rong Jing transmigrated, and fortunately, her best friend Shen He'an transmigrated with her. Unfortunately, in this world, they were sworn enemies who had quarreled and competed over every little thing since childhood. What a headache!
To keep others from noticing, they had no choice but to stick to their original personas. And so things went like this:
When Rong Jing was choosing jewelry, Shen He'an cut in: “That one’s so ugly. It suits you perfectly.”
Rong Jing looked at the exquisite hairpin before her. She had to hand it to Shen He'an for saying that.
At a banquet, the crown prince appeared. The other young ladies tried every trick in the book to get his attention, but Rong Jing and Shen He'an were busy fighting over a plate of pastries. Everyone wondered: Were the rumors that they had once quarreled over who would become the crown princess really false?!
The crown prince: I’m standing right in front of you, and you don’t even see me.
When it came to choosing clothes, Rong Jing and Shen He'an were at odds again.
Shen He'an: “Mine looks better.”
Rong Jing: “Mine looks even better.”
The little maidservant: The young ladies have gotten so much worse at arguing. They’re not even as good as five-year-olds now.
The little maidservant had watched her young lady find new ways to argue for more than ten years. She thought that nothing her young lady said or argued about could surprise her anymore. But she never imagined that her young lady would actually make up with her sworn enemy! Now they cared about each other in every little thing and thought of each other constantly.
Seeing her former enemy’s delighted expression, the little maidservant thought, My young lady is using kindness to lower her guard, then striking at her weakness when she least expects it. As expected of my young lady, she’s reached a whole new level!
When you’ve lost, take it on the chin. But, young lady, that was downright ruthless!
