Over-the-top melodrama / love-triangle chaos / multiple endings
Twin younger sister: Seems like a heartbreaker, but is actually a lovestruck, haughty heiress
Twin older sister: Gentle, scheming childhood friend and idealized first love
Painter: Beautiful, clingy, and obsessive, with a sweet exterior hiding madness
*
Everyone knew that although Miss Jiang was surrounded by admirers, there was only one person she cherished most.
Wen Wuxin, a genius painter who had burst onto the scene, was cool and aloof to everyone else, yet always came running whenever Jiang Qingyue called, obeying her every word.
She was as obedient as a dog at Jiang Qingyue's side.
Everyone thought Wen Wuxin must be madly in love with Jiang Qingyue. No one believed it more than Jiang Qingyue herself.
A devoted puppy gets everything in the end.
Rumor had it that, as the devoted puppy's official girlfriend, this breathtakingly beautiful canary was about to become a proper fiancée.
The two were going to get engaged...
*
Wen Wuxin was a painter, an orphan, and the canary most cherished by Miss Jiang.
She was also a madwoman.
She had thrown herself into this game and was determined to uncover the truth about what happened years ago, no matter the cost.
She played her part so well that by the end, she was almost starting to believe it herself.
Until one morning, Jiang Qingyue gently kissed her awake and slipped a handmade sterling-silver ring onto her finger.
"Wuxin, let's be the only one for each other..."
For once, a hint of sincerity entered those usually nonchalant eyes.
"I give up."
*
Jiang Qingyue thought everything was under her control. Her greatest source of confidence was Wen Wuxin's love for her.
But when she saw a woman who looked exactly like her appear before Wen Wuxin, she felt afraid for the first time.
Her lover called out a name in a tender voice Jiang Qingyue had never heard before.
"...Sister Qingyue, it's been so long."
Jiang Qingyue ducked behind the door in a panic, digging her nails deep into her palm.
Qingyue. Qingyue.
All these years, when Wen Wuxin called out that name again and again, had she been calling for Jiang Qingyue, or for her long-lost twin sister, who looked just like her?
*
Just as their relationship was on the verge of falling apart, Wen Wuxin accidentally fell down the stairs.
When Jiang Qingyue rushed to the hospital and saw Wen Wuxin lying in bed with amnesia, a dark thought suddenly took shape in her mind.
"You are..." Wen Wuxin asked, frowning.
Jiang Qingyue walked over and clasped the hand of the woman in the bed.
"I'm Jiang Qingyue, your childhood friend and your lover."
"We're getting married soon."
*
The more Jiang Qingyue loved Wen Wuxin, the more she hated her own biological sister, the one connected to her by blood.
She hated how this woman had taken away the life that should have been hers, then mercilessly taken her lover, too. And she hated...
That she was Jiang Qingyue, not Jiang Qingyue's sister, Jiang Qingyue's twin, Jiang Qingyue's other half.
*
Watching Jiang Qingyue in the hospital room hastily pretend to be her, Jiang Qingyue felt conflicted.
Wen Wuxin loved Jiang Qingyue. That much was obvious.
It seemed that in this game called love, everyone had been blindfolded, unable to see the truth.
Fine. If you don't want this identity, then I'll take it.
The Jiang family is mine. And so is she.
*
Just as Jiang Qingyue was holding Wen Wuxin's hand in the hospital room, about to deceive her, Jiang Qingyue pushed open the door. She gazed tenderly at Wen Wuxin and asked softly,
"Xinxin, I'm your lover. My name is Jiang Qingyue. Don't you remember?"
Wen Wuxin looked at the two women who were identical, and was completely bewildered.
*
As long as you're still by my side.
I'm only your stand-in, but I can... do a better job than she can.
Jiang Qingyue and Jiang Qingyue thought at the same time.

Reader's Guide:
1. There are three endings, and all of them are happy. I promise there's an ending to suit everyone's tastes, so enjoy! The twin sisters are the pursuers, and the painter is the one being pursued.
2. Peak old-school melodrama. Don't read if that's not your thing.
3. In short, both twin sisters think their wife loves the other. They envy each other while also wanting to become each other, haha.
Check out my new novel, After Saving My First Love, the Dark Moon Goes on a Rampage
[Cool, Fragile Beauty Pursuer x Beloved Sweetheart with a Honeyed Voice and a Hidden Dark Side Pursuer x Laid-Back Ace Agent Being Pursued]
[Two Pursuers Fighting over One Love Interest, Entertainment-Industry Love-Triangle Chaos, Misaligned Salvation, Everyone's a Lunatic]
The day Yan Sui transmigrated into an entertainment-industry romance novel, she happened to catch Jian Liyun, the novel's beautiful, talented, and tragic unrequited-love rival, swallowing sleeping pills.
Jian Liyun was the most heartbreaking character in the whole book: a top-tier, cool-headed actor, stunningly beautiful, and extraordinarily talented.
Unfortunately, she fell in love with the trashy male lead and eventually chose suicide amid a storm of abuse.
Yan Sui's job was to stop this first love from meeting the same fate.
Seeing Jian Liyun still helping the male lead organize their scene-study script at three in the morning, Yan Sui, a former ace agent, was outraged!
She stayed up all night drawing up a rescue plan: arrange a therapist, turn down the offer to work with the male lead, and throw the ex's autographed photo into the trash!
"A swan shouldn't be trapped in a fake romance."
Yan Sui secretly replaced the excessive melatonin Jian Liyun took every day with vitamins, never noticing the dark look in the eyes of the person behind her.
With Yan Sui's help, Jian Liyun gradually got over her heartbreak, and her career continued to soar.
Then everything changed at the film's wrap party.
Yan Sui watched helplessly as the original plot veered off course.
Jian Liyun was supposed to be protecting the male lead from drinking at that moment, but instead she suddenly dragged Yan Sui into a dim storage room.
"Why are you so good to me?"
The beauty, usually as cold as ice, had red-rimmed eyes, and her lipstick had smeared onto Yan Sui's collarbone.
"I'm filthy and worthless..."
Even worse, Yan Sui had let her kindness get the better of her and attracted the original heroine.
The sweet-voiced pop princess insisted on joining her agency.
Lu Shutian pinned her against the piano, hiding boundless obsession in her eyes. She bit Yan Sui's earlobe and chuckled. "You taught her, so could you teach me, too..."
"Teach you what?" Yan Sui stammered.
"How to make you belong to me alone."
It wasn't until one evening at a banquet, when the two top-tier stars drunkenly clasped her wrists beneath the table, one on either side, completely ignoring the male lead, that Yan Sui realized the original plot had fallen apart completely.
"You should understand now," the System suddenly said. "They were never fighting over the male lead."
"They're fighting for the insatiable desire you set alight with your own hands."
