What An Expensive Fake

I was raised in the most isolated orphanage of Korea. In a life full of misery, I had only one solace, Sera Ryu. Though she was the daughter of the most prestigious Ryu family, we were best friends. Our friendship was secret. One night, she was found dead. The case was closed, claiming it was a wild animal attack, but I knew she was in trouble. She was murdered. There was nothing an orphan like me could do…until the Ryu family adopted me, mistaking me for their elder daughter who lost her mind at a young age and was sent to the orphanage. She was dead, but they didn't know, and the warden asked me to pretend to be her to hide the fact that their daughter died during a punishment. The Ryu family adopted me because the madam went crazy after losing Sera. It was my chance to enter the Ryu family and find out the murderer who killed Sera. Little did I expect I would be greeted by five elder brothers. They are cold, arrogant, distant, and dangerous. If only I knew I had stepped into a dangerous trap of lust, betrayal, and twisted feelings.
