Aria Lin is a painter with nothing left-no family, no fame, and no love. Betrayed by her best friend Delilah, who stole both her boyfriend and her place in the spotlight, Aria stumbles drunkenly down a deserted road, heartbroken and done with it all.
Until a car hits her.
Until he hits her.
Lucien Vale-cold-blooded billionaire heir to the most powerful family in the country, a man with no scandals, no weaknesses, and no women. Ever.
He takes her to the hospital. She has no ID. No phone. No memory-supposedly.
But Aria is awake. And listening.
With nothing left to lose, she makes a split-second decision: to become someone else entirely. Someone soft. Someone innocent. Someone from her favorite fantasy romance novel.
The adopted, timid rabbit of a girl with trembling eyes and a voice that makes powerful men want to protect her. In the book, she was loved. Desired. Possessed by her stoic, emotionally repressed "brother."
Aria plays the part.And Lucien believes it.
But he isn't the only one watching.
Lucien's powerful family-tired of his coldness, desperate for him to form a bond-sees through Aria's act. And instead of exposing her... they help her. Patch the lies. Cover the inconsistencies. Because if she can awaken something in Lucien, even under false pretenses, it might be the only chance to save him from a life of perfect emptiness.
But pretending to be a fragile girl in love with her protector comes at a cost.Because Lucien doesn't just want to protect Aria.He wants to possess her.
And when the truth starts to crack through the fantasy, Aria will have to decide:
Is she still playing the role?Or has she become the girl Lucien can't live without?.
