Twins

The System's surveillance has a delay.

It's the only secret that Lin Qingze and his "archenemy" can rely on to survive.

On camera, they're vicious mad dogs tearing into each other, mortal enemies who won't stop until one of them is dead. But in the blind spot of the System, the alternate personality who should have been trying to kill him silently crosses the line between their factions and, in the coldest voice, treats the life-threatening wounds he suffered that day.

Three years ago, Lin Qingze received a message from the future:

"If you want to survive, use the 'Twin' System to split me off."

Three years later, in a life-or-death contest broadcast live in full immersion, he plays the delicate, beloved darling who "fights to survive after shedding his dark side." The audience cries for him and showers him with votes.

His other self plays a cold-blooded monster who "embodies every dark trait and is bent on devouring his original self." The audience screams and cheers for him in horrified delight.

They share the same face and bask in wildly different frenzies of adoration, yet every week they must fight to the death in a server-wide livestream. The loser loses life points until he's eliminated for good.

"I bore all the darkness for you, so you'd better survive to the end." He tended to his wounds, his eyes alight with obsessive madness. "Otherwise, there'd be no point in me devouring myself."

Lin Qingze gripped the other's cold fingers, his voice hoarse but firm. "We'll fool the System."

In this charade meant to fool the whole world, they are each other's mortal enemy, and each other's only salvation.
