A Fake Relationship That Feels Surprisingly Real

Sometimes life becomes difficult because of one mistake. That is exactly what happens to Eliza Lin. Eliza is a shy high school student who accidentally becomes famous after writing an essay about a romantic relationship that never actually happened. The essay spreads across the internet, and suddenly everyone believes she has experienced the perfect love story.

The problem is simple—but impossible to escape.

Everyone expects her to be the girl from the essay.

To protect her secret, Eliza agrees to a fake relationship with Caz Song, one of the country's most popular young actors. It seems like the perfect solution. As long as they pretend to date, nobody will question her story. But pretending every day becomes harder than either of them expected. The more time they spend together, the more their fake romance begins to feel genuine. Their friendship grows into something deeper, forcing both of them to question what is real and what is only acting.

Can love born from a lie become honest?

You'll have to turn every page to find out.


A Romance That Will Make You Smile

Ann Liang has written a story full of warmth, laughter, and unforgettable characters. Every chapter feels fresh and exciting.

Their growing trust, playful teasing, awkward situations, and heartfelt conversations make their relationship feel believable and incredibly sweet.

The story also explores important themes like:

  • Family expectations
  • Finding confidence
