Violet Elanor, an unwanted orphan, desperately wished to live in Blackwell Mansion happily. Unfortunately, her eyes were brimming with tears… of suffering. 

After a president of a well-known conglomerate supposedly sought her out for a paternity test in secret, she assumed she would live in opulence like the rich patients in the mental asylum she came from. However, one of her stepbrothers assumed she was going to be their father’s fourth wife and the youngest stepmother they had ever seen so far. Annoyed, Violet played along with the misunderstanding and dug her own grave even deeper. 

What made matters worse was that their strict father always skirted around the subject on why she was going to live there and why they had to be kind and respectful towards her. Unfortunately, the step siblings had drawn their own conclusions and convinced themselves it was the truth.  

It turned out that that their father and her late mother had something going on before she disappeared on him without warning. Despite searching her whereabouts for years, the DNA test revealed that she wasn’t specifically his daughter but still the daughter of the woman he loved. Upon realizing that her mother was the reason for Mr. Blackwell and his second wife's divorce, the awkwardness she felt around their second son, Arthur, almost urged her to run away from Blackwell Mansion, never to be seen again. 

Should she return to the mental hospital or should she stay in the mansion and accept Mr. Blackwell's strange offer that she marry either one of his sons to ensure her bright future? 

Now, why would he arrange one of his children to marry a penniless orphan in the first place?

If this was just a cruel prank, what would he do if she actually pursued the love she was craving for despite possessing a  bizarre syndrome that nobody had even heard of?  She wasn’t even sure if she could live past thirty once her brain tumor started growing again. 

Who would she even choose among the stepbrothers? 

Would it be the eldest, Liam, the workaholic CEO and heir of Blackwell Corporation, Arthur, the rebellious top high-fashion model of their generation or should it be Charlie, the moody yet genius artist behind the pseudonym ‘ishikawa’? 

Whatever.

Shouldn't she find a job and earn some money first?
