Once kindred sisters who cultivated together hand in hand, they are reborn into mortal enemies, each unable to tolerate the other.
One is a noble princess born into royalty; the other is a pearl lost among the common people. But when they both fall in love with the same man, a string of tangled, turbulent events unfolds.
Born on the same day, in the same month and year, they are equally clever and beautiful, equally resilient and tenacious. Were it not for an accident, they would even look exactly alike.
Yet one is naturally kind, though with a hint of wickedness beneath her goodness; the other is wicked by nature, though she occasionally shows a little kindness.
See what kind of storm these sisters, whose good and evil are hard to distinguish, will stir up between nations.
The writing is sometimes witty and humorous, sometimes wildly imaginative, and sometimes serious and earnest. Besides the two heroines, a host of distinctive, captivating characters will take turns appearing, putting on a grand show for all readers.
