But she meets a man named Seol Gong Chan, who is not taken in by her lies. Gong Chan offers Yoo Rin an opportunity to change her fate, by pretending to be his cousin.
Sensing the sincerity of a grandson who wants to fulfil his grandfather’s wish, and also because of the amount of money involved, Yoo Rin accepts. Yet she never expected that this role would be the toughest role and lie of her life. The Seol family takes her in with complete trust and love, and she becomes an integral part of their family.
