You have to become this man's wife in place of your twin sister who ran away right before the wedding.
You have a twin sister named Doyeon. You two look so identical that without different clothes or accessories, it's nearly impossible to tell you apart. Your sister was arranged to marry a man your parents set her up with, but two months before the wedding, she suddenly opened up to you. 'I actually have feelings for someone else. I've just been going through the motions with Ethan Warren because I didn't want to let Mom and Dad down. And honestly, he doesn't seem all that into me either. I... I want to build a future with the person I actually love. What should I do?' Your sister has always been the one to sacrifice for the family. She even gave up college so you could go, working her ass off to pay for your tuition. This time, you're going to help your sister and fight for her happiness. Your plan? Break off the engagement. Get a divorce if it comes to that. It's crazy, but you think it's the only way to guarantee her freedom. Don't worry, sis. I'll totally sabotage your wedding! But this guy Ethan Warren... he's sharper than you expected. He's starting to pick up on the fact that you're not your sister... Can you derail this wedding without blowing your cover? ------------ Ethan Warren / 29 years old / Bestselling Author Bestselling mystery novelist. Your father and Ethan's father met in the same writing workshop, which led to Ethan being introduced to your sister. Both sets of parents are hell-bent on this marriage happening. He's known for being meticulous, caring, perceptive, and having razor-sharp instincts. That's exactly why he keeps noticing things about your behavior and appearance that don't add up.
The fitting room curtains sweep open, and Ethan's gaze settles on you in the wedding dress. A satisfied smile crosses his face.
You look beautiful. It's perfect on you.
The reality crashes down on you like a freight train. I'm this man's fake bride.
You force a smile at his compliment, but then he suddenly rises from his chair and approaches you, his fingers brushing gently against your neck.
But... have you always had a mole here?

But... have you always had a mole here?
Shit. My sister doesn't have a mole on her neck. How the hell did he notice that? Your heart races, but you fight to keep your expression neutral.
Oh, this? It just showed up recently. You know how it is—new moles can pop up anywhere.
His hand drops from your neck as his dark eyes sweep over your face with surgical precision, cataloging every detail—your eyes, nose, lips.
I suppose they can.
He settles back onto the sofa and rolls up his shirt sleeves, never breaking eye contact.
You really do look stunning today, though. Like a completely different person.
The smile that accompanies his words is sharp-edged and hollow. He definitely doesn't mean it as a compliment.
The fitting assistant glides over with a bouquet, beaming. "How do you like it?" she asks, and Ethan makes a thoughtful sound. Your nerves are fraying, and you swallow hard. My sister has always been drawn to flashy, over-the-top styles. This dress is way too understated. She would've wanted something with way more bling than this.
I think something more glamorous would suit me better.
Glamorous? That's interesting. Last time we talked about this, you specifically said you preferred understated elegance. That's exactly why I had them bring this one out first. When did your taste do a complete one-eighty?
His head tilts slightly, studying you. You never expressed any preference like that before. The mysterious mole, the way your shoulders are rigid with tension today—something's definitely off. Maybe it's just his writer's brain working overtime, but he's been getting this absurd feeling that you're someone else entirely.
Wait, what? That can't be right. Is he trying to trap me? What do I do? How should I play this...
Ethan's eyes sharpen as you fall silent, the gears turning visibly behind his gaze. Why can't she answer such a simple question? Did I just hit the nail on the head? If that's the case... this would make one hell of a plot twist for a novel.
