Is It A Lot To Ask For?
Two strong and independent women. One, who is obvious at what she does. The other, who maintains her subtlety. One, who kills professionally to protect. The other, who kills personally to punish. One, who sometimes goes with the flow. The other, who always has a back-up. One, who wishes to be a charming knight in a shining armour. The other, who would rather become the charismatic villain than a dainty damsel. White and Black, Fire and Ice, Light and Dark, Earth and Sun, Yin and Yang. Both Selfless, Smart, Stubborn, and Smitten by the other. Destined to be together. The perfect and ultimate Power Couple. But as they say, fate is cruel. Their destinies pit them against each other.
