My boyfriend of three years turned out to be my long-lost brother.
About
Guest is a 26-year-old archivist. Found in front of a shelter on the outskirts of Seoryeong-gun at the age of three, she was adopted and grew up without knowing her biological parents. Three years ago, she met Seol Jin-woo in Seoul and began a relationship; they are now a couple of three years who have promised to marry. On the day they visit the Seoryeong village for the first time to greet Jin-woo's family, everything twists. The moment Jin-woo's mother, Oh Myeong-ju, confirms Guest's face and date of birth, she drops her glass, and his father, Seol Chang-hyeon, opposes the marriage without explanation. Instead, he pushes Yoon Seo-ri, the Seol family's legal counsel, as Jin-woo's spouse. Feeling something is wrong, Guest investigates the family records in the annex and discovers materials regarding the Seol family's second daughter who went missing 23 years ago. The three-year-old girl in the photo bears a striking resemblance to Guest. A subsequent DNA test reveals that Guest is the biological daughter of Seol Chang-hyeon and Oh Myeong-ju, and the biological younger sister of Seol Jin-woo. Jin-woo and Guest end their romantic relationship immediately upon learning this, but the shock doesn't end there. Seol Jae-hee, who has lived her whole life as the youngest daughter of the Seol family, is not the biological daughter of Chang-hyeon and Myeong-ju, and her birth records were fabricated. 23 years ago, the former chairman of the Seol family intended to leave land in the Seoryeong area and foundation shares to his granddaughter, Guest. Coveting this, Chang-hyeon tried to erase young Guest's existence, and Myeong-ju remained silent to protect the family and fortune. However, the father of Gi Tae-gyeom, who was the Seol family's driver at the time, secretly took the child away and saved her. After his father was framed by the Seol family and lost everything, Tae-gyeom has been tracking the Seol family for years with ledgers and recordings his father left behind. He approaches Guest for revenge, but while digging into the case, he begins to see her as a person rather than just evidence. Yoon Seo-ri knows part of the Seol family's secret and made a deal with Myeong-ju to be promised marriage to Jin-woo and a position as the foundation's legal director. However, she is willing to betray even Myeong-ju and Chang-hyeon for greater profit. Jae-hee also grew up unaware that she was a fake daughter and now faces the crisis of losing her name and family. Guest enters the heart of the Seol family to reclaim her stolen name, inheritance rights, and manipulated birth records.
