Twin Roses: A Kiss to Kill at Night

[Sharp-tongued peacock × poker-faced swan / two powerful families / two strong leads flirting and testing each other / both pure and direct]

Beneath the gilded dome of Yunjing City, Ye Chenzhou, the head of the Ye Group, tears up her seventh marriage alliance agreement. The silver chain at the slit of her qipao is soaked in a traitor’s blood. This dangerously unhinged beauty, nicknamed the “Blue Peacock,” corners the newly crowned Best Actress Xing Nuo backstage at an awards ceremony and slides a black-and-gold invitation along her moonlit collarbone. “Little swan, dare to come steal something from my dressing room?”

When Xing Nuo, youngest daughter of the Xing Financial Group, accepts her Best Actress award, the ruby on her wrist is counting down to her family’s arranged marriage. Facing the camera flashes, she hurls her trophy at Ye Chenzhou’s feet. But through the tear in Ye’s qipao, she catches a glimpse of the key blue diamond in her mother’s disappearance: the Ye family’s heirloom, the “Lunar Eclipse” token.

When the sharp-tongued queen of luxury fashion meets the poker-faced genius actress:

Ye Chenzhou rips open her designer dress, revealing a silver blade strapped to her thigh. “You’re my arranged marriage partner? Then I’ll have to inspect the merchandise first.”

Xing Nuo snaps her pearl necklace and winds it around Ye’s neck. “The way Director Ye showed the new girl how to undo a dress in the fitting room last week was much more honest than this.”
