Qian Qiqi and Gu Panpan are known as the Twin Beauties of Bashu. They've competed for most of their lives without either one ever winning.
Gu Panpan excels at music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, so Qian Qiqi studies poetry, wine, flowers, and tea.
Gu Panpan is radiant and enchanting; Qian Qiqi is clever and perceptive.
When it came time to choose husbands, Qian Qiqi heard that Gu Panpan wanted to marry the Tenth Prince. To beat her, she reluctantly gave up the coveted Third Prince and married a crippled invalid whom everyone despised.
On the night she entered his household, Qian Qiqi regretted it so much she could have kicked herself.
This wasn't an invalid. He was a black-hearted stalker!
Qian Qiqi visits male brothels and keeps male companions, yet she still can't divorce him.
"Want to beat Gu Panpan, my beloved? I'll help, for a price."
Qian Qiqi believed his nonsense.
From then on, she lost every single time they competed.
