Twin Legitimate Daughters: The Scheming Chief Minister Can’t Resist Drawing Me Into His Arms

[Ancient Political Intrigue + Twin Legitimate Daughters + Face-Blind Chief Minister + Country and Family + Mutual Blunt Confessions + Sweet-and-Angsty Push and Pull]

The Marquis of Zhen has twin legitimate daughters. To avoid a royal prophecy that “twins bring chaos,” the younger sister, Shen Wuyou, was raised in the capital, gentle and refined, while the elder sister, Shen Wulv, was raised on the border, wielding a spear and riding horses, wild and untamable.

A secret imperial edict brought Shen Wulv back to the capital, where she secretly switched identities with her younger sister.

No one in the capital could tell the identical sisters apart. The only exception was Pei Jizhou, the chief minister who wielded power over the court but suffered from severe face blindness. In a sea of people, he could identify Shen Wulv by the unconscious way she gripped a knife, and grasp her wrist with perfect accuracy.

He couldn’t make out the faces of anyone in the world, but he etched her bold, radiant soul into his heart alone.

When enemy spies poisoned the water, Shen Wulv was trapped in a smallpox-stricken city, her fate unknown.

Pei Jizhou was confined to the capital by imperial order. The two could only send their longing to one another through bloodstained handkerchiefs and protective medicine pouches, carried at deadly risk by their hidden guards.

On the day the city fell, the chief minister, who had always been fastidious and as cool and otherworldly as an immortal, strode through mountains of corpses drenched in blood and pulled the dying female general tightly into his arms. “If you die in battle, I’ll bury the whole world with you.”
