Introduction
When a high school girl wakes up one day and suddenly discovers that she has a twin, she's not sure if she's more shocked by her new sibling or that somehow no one else seems surprised by the situation. The two girls end up becoming friends with the most popular kids in school who are two boys that also happen to be twins and share the girls' birthday. In this engaging coming-of-age campus story, the protagonist tries to figure out where her sister came from, but in the process, she also ends up embarking on a quest of self-discovery with her new sibling and their friends.

Jui-an wakes up to find that she has a twin sister but bizarrely, no one she knows thinks that it's odd at all. Thanks to her sister, Jui-an meets a pair of twin brothers at school who are some of the most influential people on campus. The four of them quickly become friends and social circles gradually blend together.

As her school life becomes more and more enriched by her expanded circle of friends, Jui-an not only overcomes her fear of presenting on stage but also leads her entire class in the school sports competition. However, things aren't as rosy for the twin brothers who find their close bond gradually being eroded by their parents' favoritism as conflicts with their teachers and parents slowly rise to the surface. What will happen to their lives on campus? And will Jui-an ever find out the real reason why her twin sister suddenly appeared?

Reality can make us want to conceal our imperfect selves in all sorts of ways, and Wu Yu-Shi explores these feeling by having the characters present their idealized selves as twins in their minds. She hopes that through the highs and lows of growing up that are explored in this story, readers will discover their favorite version of themselves and move on to an exciting new chapter in their lives.
