The White Lotus’s Green Tea Best Friend

In everyone's eyes, she is a spotless white lotus, her tears the sharpest weapon beneath her holy glow.

In public and in private, she is as sweet as honey, her traps the deadliest form of tenderness hidden behind a smile.

Lin Wei and Su Man are "twin flowers" who have been inseparable since childhood. In the cutthroat world of fame and fortune in a bustling city, they have mastered "purity and innocence" and "harmlessness" as the ultimate arts of survival. Lin Wei, the white lotus, uses tears to win sympathy and her saintly compassion to morally coerce others. Her heart may be as fragile as glass, but she can calculate people's intentions with uncanny precision. Su Man, the sweet-talking best friend, wraps her assaults on every fortress in a sugary smile. Her thoughtfulness is arsenic, used to manipulate emotions, and every step she takes is carefully calibrated to tip the scales in her favor.

They are each other's closest allies, sharing secrets and scheming together, from campus scholarships to the highest circles of fame and fortune, dragging every obstacle into the abyss. They are also each other's most formidable rivals, knowing every card the other holds. When the scales of self-interest wobble and cracks appear in their trust, the blades of their scheming have quietly turned on each other, too.

When a disguise becomes second nature, who can still remember their true face?

When scheming sinks into your bones, how much can friendship still weigh?

This is a dangerous game of masks, desire, and redemption. When carefully crafted personas come crashing down in the face of crisis and genuine affection, can these two friends, who have walked the line between light and darkness, find their true selves and a friendship tempered by fire amid the ashes of their schemes? Will they join hands and step into a new life, or sink forever into delusion?

See how these two-faced beauties wield "purity" as a blade and "sweet talk" as a shield, fighting their way through the urban jungle along a path of blood that is both real and illusory.

This story has two female leads.
