Ace in the Hole

Living under the shadow of her older sister, Yvette became used to being compared to "the golden girl" who was as bright as "gold" and being treated like the "silver" in comparison.

The only person in their family that she could rely on was her twin brother, Yvon. Their parents, unconsciously favoring their older siblings, unintentionally overlooked the twins. Counting on only each other to have their backs, the twins grew protective of each other, not wanting the other to suffer.

To the outside world, Yvette was seen as a sweet unremarkable young woman but in reality the personality she shows to the public is a carefully curated facade hiding her ambitions and intellect.

As more people grew to like their older sister, the twins felt differently knowing of her nefarious side, one that caused them pain and trauma.

A month after her older sister's marriage to the empire's crown prince, Yvette found herself engaged to Lev, her sister's former suitor. Yvette found it ironic that she, who had harbored a childhood crush on the crown prince, was now to be married to Lev, someone who was in a love triangle with her older sister.

Despite the initial shock, Yvette and Lev get married, gradually growing closer and discovering each other's hidden strengths and vulnerabilities, insecurities, slowly falling in love.

However, things aren't going to be easy for this couple.

Yvon and Yvette's secret plans were gradually coming to fruition, their dream of building an empire of their own.

Lev, who before the wedding said that it didn't matter what kind of person Yvette was, was slowly seeing the layers beneath his wife's surface.

The twins' painful past had left deep physical and emotional scars that were still far from healed and their older sister's heinous shadow still loomed over and influenced them.

As secrets emerge and tensions mount, can Lev and Yvette pull through against the obstacles in their path and remain in each other's arms?
