[Sweet on the Outside, Dark Within Heroine x Dark on the Outside, Sweet Within Hero]
Xue Lingyi only learned she had a twin sister, Xue Ying, while recovering from an illness in the countryside.
In just two short years, Xue Ying was brought home and completely took her place, becoming the most dazzling gem in the capital, full of herself.
The letters Xue Lingyi later received in the countryside all said the same thing:
Her parents: "Yingying has suffered so much. You're the older sister, so you should give in to her."
Her elder brother: "She'll cry if she can't have the jewelry she wants. You have plenty, so what's wrong with giving it to her?"
Her childhood friend: "She got upset because I once joked that I would marry you. Could you explain things to her for me?"
Her closest friend: "She saw the letter I wrote you and stopped talking to me. I won't write to you anymore."
On top of that, even the Empress was determined to have the violent-tempered Crown Prince choose her as his Crown Princess and take her place in the Eastern Palace.
After carefully folding each letter, Xue Lingyi glanced at the Crown Prince, gloomy and obsessive in public but now cooking for her with his own hands. With a composed, elegant smile, she returned to the capital with her maid.
Many years later, the people were still talking about the day Xue Lingyi returned to the capital.
It was as if from that day on, the name Xue Lingyi was destined to become this generation's nightmare in the capital, with no one able to rival her.
Not even Xue Ying.
More or less a story where the hero brings the sweetness (?), the heroine brings the satisfaction (?), and everyone else gets sent to the crematorium (?)
