The Twins You Don't Want to Mess With

Nong Nong woke up one day to find herself inside a book. In the story, she is the second daughter of the Jiang family of Lingzhou, a beauty with no brains. Her scumbag cousin tricks her into becoming her older sister's replacement, then sends her to Zhulu City to assassinate the young lord, Si Yayi, using her charms. But on the very night she tries to seduce him, Si Yayi sees through her disguise and has her beautiful skin peeled off and made into a drum. Nong Nong clutches her skin close, packs up without hesitation, and escapes through a dog hole. Half a month later, she is caught and dragged back. She is about to become the chicken in a “kill the chicken to scare the monkeys” display. To survive, Nong Nong uses love as bait and sets her sights on Si Xianyin, Si Yayi's twin brother and the eldest young master of Zhulu City. After a string of outrageous maneuvers, Nong Nong successfully latches onto her “lifeline” and happily begins dating the gentle and refined eldest young master. But there is always a pair of eyes lurking behind her, staring so sinisterly that her scalp prickles and chills run down her spine. * Inside the Treasure Pavilion. The young master lounged against a golden throne. Pointing to four stunningly handsome men, ten chests of rare treasures, and bolts of silk, he propped up his chin and said to Nong Nong, “Leave my brother and be my woman. All of this will be yours.” Nong Nong flushed with anger. “You're only clinging to my brother for all this, aren't you?” The young man pulled her into his arms and bit hard at the corner of her mouth. Nong Nong answered with a loud slap. Nong Nong ran from the Treasure Pavilion in tears, followed by a tremendous splash. The boy, who had been grinning darkly just moments before, turned pale and rushed outside, plunging headfirst into the deep lake. He searched the lakebed but found no trace of Nong Nong. As he surfaced with weeds clinging to him, he caught sight of her leaning against the railing in a corner, pressing her lips together to hide her laughter at his bedraggled state. Her two little dimples were filled with the light of the setting sun, dazzlingly bright. At that moment, Si Yayi felt that he would gladly die for her. * Si Yayi and Si Xianyin are twins. They look alike but have completely different personalities. Nong Nong fears Si Yayi, treating him like a venomous beast and keeping her distance. Little does she know that Si Xianyin, whom she regards as her guardian deity, is also a big bad wolf in sheep's clothing. Both twins love Nong Nong. One bears down on her relentlessly, while the other is gentle and tender, and together they lay an inescapable net. With nowhere left to run, Nong Nong decides to fight back. Reader's Guide: 1. The heroine will have two romances, with a breakup between them, in that order. 2. Couple: the younger brother. 3. The male lead and second male lead get roughly equal page time. 4. An original fantasy wuxia setting. Everything is made up, so please don't take it too seriously. Final blurb: May 8, 2022 Theme: Outer beauty pleases the eye; inner beauty elevates the soul
