Rivals in the Court? The System Has Locked Me and My Mortal Enemy Together

[Two male leads + equally matched powerhouses + enemies to lovers + light political intrigue + dual Systems + opposites who keep clashing]

The court of the Great Jing dynasty is a battlefield of bitter rivals.

Among all the bitter enemies the civil and military officials avoid, none are more notorious than Shen Qingci and Xiao Jingyan.

One is a cold-faced, aloof chief councilor in moon-white brocade robes, whose every word cuts to the bone and who treats rules as sacred.

The other is an arrogant, blunt general in black armor and crimson, with overwhelming combat prowess and a sharp retort for everyone.

Whenever they meet, they clash. For three years, they’ve traded barbs in the Golden Throne Hall, making them the court’s number-one pair of rivals.

Then a sudden pairing-story System forcibly binds these two enemies together!

[Ding! Task: Audit the accounts together within ten days! Failure means both of you will be dismissed!]

[Ding! Task: Put your heads together and check the ledgers! Failure means public humiliation!]

[Ding! Task: Xiao Jingyan must stake his head on Shen Qingci’s innocence!]

The System forces them together, while the on-screen comments cheer them on.

Former enemies are forced to act like “a devoted married couple,” going from sabotaging each other to joining forces against their foes, then repeatedly defending each other at all costs.

Amid the shocking conspiracy behind the Mid-Autumn coup, the cold-faced chief councilor blushes at the ears and says one thing while meaning another.

The berserk God of War talks tough but has a soft heart, charging straight ahead.

This is a rivalry set in motion by the System, and a romance destined to be brought to its conclusion by the two of them.

Through fire and flood, I’ll protect you as we press on.
