In Jinling, there was a pair of cousins with fearsome reputations.
The elder male cousin was named Wang Jing, and the younger female cousin was named Xie Ling.
The male cousin was strong, foul-mouthed, and reckless.
The female cousin was sharp-tongued, charming, and graceful.
They couldn't stand each other, yet stuck together all day long.
The people of Jinling thought it was painful to watch: Just get together already and torment each other!

Cousin Xie: Come here, Cousin! Look, doesn't this turtle look just like you? (^_^)
Cousin Wang: ...Xie Chuyi, get over here.
Let's see if I can't beat you to death. ╰_╯
Reader's guide
◆ The male and female leads are not related by blood. The heroine's mother, the hero's paternal aunt, was an adopted daughter of the Wang family.
◆ "Charming" is used in its classical sense, describing someone with a distinctive bearing and an independent spirit.
◆ This probably won't be too long. I expect to start writing it after I finish the neighboring novel, A Certain Rumor~
◆ Writing practice, sweet romance, focused mainly on the relationship.
◆ The blurb was screenshotted and posted on Weibo on December 16, 2020.
Theme: Love means cherishing each other as equals and sharing a dialogue between souls.
