Two young people using the aliases "Vidya" and "Cesar" take an unofficial acting job: portraying a pair of mixed-race twins who died long ago.
To make sure the details of the job remain secret, the two perform a strange "loyalty ritual."
...And then both the acting job and the loyalty ritual go badly wrong.
"We have to save ourselves," Vidya assesses the situation. "We've ended up at the center of a three-way struggle."
"I knew a job this easy, with this much pay, was bound to be trouble," Cesar concludes.

The discussion about names is so interesting.
To be honest, this book has been on my bookshelf for almost three to five years. It's so blurry that I don't know how it was dug out of the Jinjiang garbage bag. The first few times I watched it, I would give up on it two or three times because I couldn't adapt to the language habits. Finally, now I feel that the characters in the first chapter of this book are very well written, and the conflicts are also impactful. In short, I am stuck, and do I have to mourn in advance because there will be no good things to read in a week or two?
