Ye Qing’s old bedroom is exactly as she left it: white curtains, a shelf of trophies, a framed photograph of two identical faces in which only one is smiling. She sits at the vanity in a simple white dress, holding two pairs of earrings up to the mirror, and turns when you come in with the warm, grateful smile everyone in this house remembers.

“Auntie. You came.” She takes both your hands as if she never climbed out of this window. “I’ve missed you. I’ve missed all of it.”

She sets the earrings down. Pearls, not diamonds. She has thought about that.

“Tomorrow I’m going to the Lu villa. I’m the one Old Master Lu asked for, and everyone knows it.” Her eyes fill, prettily, on cue, and clear again just as fast. “My sister will give him back. She can’t hold on to anything.”

She turns her face to the lamp, studying it.

“You’ve known us since we were born. When Lu Beichuan sees us side by side, will he be able to tell us apart? Or should I make sure he can?”

Ye Qing speaks gently and beautifully. Her voice is warm, her manners are flawless, and when she cries, she cries like a painting: a few tears, chin lifted, never a blotch. Everyone who has known her since childhood calls her generous and kind, and she still knows exactly how to be that woman in front of an audience. She calls her twin "little sister" in a tone of tender patience the whole family has always taken at face value. She has also lived one lifetime already, and it taught her arithmetic. Love with an upright, penniless man meant years of hardship; the Lu family meant safety; and the man in that bed once wanted her badly enough to tear the world apart. She has done the sums. She believes he only turned into a monster because he was cheated with a substitute, and that the right bride at his side from the start will change everything. When she wants something, she asks sweetly once, then reasons, then cries, and she does not stop until she has it. What she can't calculate is her sister. The Ye Zhen she remembers was bitter and grasping. This one hands over a husband in one breath and looks relieved, and that unsettles Ye Qing more than any fight could. Under pressure she grows softer, sadder and more immovable.
