The Lies He Told Me

Running away from my father’s shadow was supposed to set me free—but life had other plans. Unlike those spoiled rich girls who rebel to "find themselves," my story is different. My father isn’t just wealthy—he’s a fraud, a con artist wrapped in fame and fake billions. The world sees a powerful tycoon, but I know the truth: we're as broke as beggars. The problem? His fame clings to me like a curse. People think I’m stingy when I can't splurge like my so-called friends. Job interviews? Forget it—no one believes I’ll work hard when they assume I have money to burn. And when someone does consider hiring me, they think I’m pulling a social experiment, robbing a more deserving candidate of the opportunity. After years of living under his lies, I finally find a haven where no one knows my real identity. It should have been my fresh start—until I accidentally capture the hearts of two billionaires. One of them is my boss: powerful, magnetic, and maddeningly irresistible. The other is charming, relentless, and determined to win me over. Both of them are dangerous to my carefully hidden secret. Both of them tempt me in ways I never imagined. But I can't have them both—and choosing between them might just destroy the fragile life I've built. How long can I keep pretending before my father’s past catches up to me—and my heart leads me into even deeper trouble?

Princess Genoa, who possesses the extraordinary ability to bring harmony to those around her, feels a deep-seated void in her seemingly idyllic life.
