[A sweet childhood-friends-to-lovers story about bickering rivals, marriage before love, and a body swap: he likes my sister, I have my eye on his brother, and in the end we get together.]
At the Matchmaker Temple, Shi Ning prayed to grow closer to the one she loved.
The next day, she became the younger brother of the person she loved...
Something had gone wrong.
-
The bad news: Shi Ning and her nemesis, Wen Bujue, had switched bodies.
The good news: She had admired Wen Bujue's elder brother for a long time, and now she finally had a chance to get close to him.
But Wen Bujue liked her elder sister, too. Right now, he was clinging to her sister in Shi Ning's body, calling her "Sister" and smiling as sweetly as could be.
He was having a great time, and Shi Ning was not happy about it.
As it happened, Wen Bujue felt the same way.

Strange things happen every year, but this year there are more than usual.
Everyone knew that Shi Ning, the Grand Tutor's second daughter, and Wen Bujue, the second young master of the General's residence, couldn't stand each other. Whenever they met, chaos ensued. But lately, people had often seen the two of them together, looking quite intimate.
And there was something even stranger...
Word had it that the second young lady, always known for her grace and intelligence, had gotten drunk in the wine cellar and been dragged out by the ear by the Grand Tutor!
There was also a rumor that the unruly second young master Wen Bujue had traded his armor for women's clothes, only to be caught with rouge on his cheeks by the old general!
Could these two have been possessed?
Whether or not they were possessed was hard to say, but after exhausting themselves and leaving each other black and blue, the two young masters finally made peace.
"I'll help you pursue my brother, and you help me pursue my sister. We'll be family sooner or later, so let's stay out of each other's way."
It was a good deal. They exchanged smiles, each with a bellyful of schemes.
But in the end, those schemes backfired on them.
Their frequent secret meetings finally paid off. When a marriage contract arrived, the two of them stared in shock.
...Why were their names on the marriage certificate?
We're doomed!
