[Twin sisters + ancient power struggles + secret identities + face-slapping]
The Nangong sisters, raised in the water towns of Jiangnan, are the ancient world's answer to a pair of brilliant sisters! The elder, Xiyan, is composed and calculating, always planning several moves ahead. The younger, Xiyao, is sweet and innocent, with enough clever tricks to circle the capital three times. The three of them lived in seclusion in Jiangnan for years, relying on the business run by their mother, Shangguan Yu. Little did anyone know the shop was actually a covert intelligence network. After all, she was the beloved youngest daughter of the Duke Who Guards the Nation and the Regent's cherished principal wife. Even after losing her memory and living in seclusion, she hadn't lost her knack for getting things done!
Sadly, their mother died from overwork, and the sisters set off for the capital with a keepsake to find their father. The moment Regent Nangong Yan saw his two daughters, he recognized his own and Madam Yu's eyes and cleverness in them. He doted on them beyond measure. “Who dares bully my daughters?”
But the capital is a dangerous place, rife with household intrigues and court machinations. Some mock them as “Jiangnan bastards,” some covet the Regent's power, and the enemy who once caused their mother's abduction still lurks with murder in mind. The sisters work together seamlessly: Xiyan acts dignified and keeps the situation under control, while Xiyao plays innocent to find out the truth. Their secret identities are layered one upon another, and their face-slapping is swift and merciless. You try to stir up trouble in the household? They'll make you shoot yourself in the foot. You play political games? They'll use your own power against you and ruin your reputation!
Watch these two pampered darlings use their intelligence to fight their way through palace and household intrigues, protect their father, uncover the truth, and turn the capital upside down, becoming women no one dares to cross!
