After Disguising Myself as a Man and Switching Lives with My Twin Brother

The twin brother and sister of the Wen family of Qingxi had identical features and breathtaking beauty, but were born the wrong sex.

The younger sister, Wen Changning, wore black and tied up her hair. Dashing and fierce, with unmatched martial skills, she was the "dream lover" of Qingxi's girls, who mistook her for a young man. But women were expected to follow the Three Obediences and Four Virtues, and were forbidden from showing themselves in public. Every day at home, she was forced to learn needlework, embroidery, and the rules for women.

Her older brother, Wen Changkong, on the other hand, was as delicate as Xi Shi, with a gentle air about him. After walking just a few steps, he would pant like a pear blossom branch swaying in the wind. Yet as the eldest son, he was expected to support the family, so their father set his mind on making him train with weapons and take the military examinations to earn an official title.

Then bandit trouble swept Qingxi, and the court issued an order to suppress them. With no other choice, their father put the frail Wen Changkong on the conscription list.

Unwilling to let her brother go to his death, Wen Changning took up a red-tasseled spear and disguised herself as a man, joining the army in his place. From then on, the siblings exchanged lives, each making their own way toward glory and success.

Everyone in the Great Yong Dynasty knew that the Wen family of Qingxi had been blessed with two remarkable children.

Wen Changning, the female Marshal of the North, rose to prominence out of nowhere. She suppressed bandit rebellions, built waterworks and terraced fields, established workshops, taught the people to improve their crops, and helped them run businesses.

She transformed Qingxi from a "bandit-ridden place" into "the most prosperous town in Great Yong."

She also won first place in all four military examinations, rushed to the frontier's aid, secured the northern border, saved the dynasty from collapse, and rose to power at court, enjoying glory without equal.

Her brother Wen Changkong, thanks to his peerless beauty and clever ways, was pursued by the children of officials and wealthy merchants. He became a true heartthrob, the dream lover of countless men across the empire, and an asset to Wen Changning's "soft diplomacy."

People of the time all said: A young man's ambitions should reach for the clouds, and every daughter should be like Wen Changning.
