Chapter 1

I was born with the ability to detect lies.

My stepsister, Chloe, looked down on her blind date because she thought he dressed like a hobo. She forced me to go in her place just to reject him.

"I thought my blind date was going to be some rich heir driving a Ferrari, but he’s just a broke loser," she sneered.

"If he clings to me, my life will be ruined. Go reject him for me. Just tell him you're the one he's supposed to meet."

I should have said no.

But I desperately needed an opportunity to escape the house that had kept me trapped for over twenty years.

Yet, the moment the man across from me spoke his very first sentence, I knew he was lying.

He said his monthly salary was only five thousand dollars.

【Lie.】

He said his family background was totally ordinary.

【Lie.】

Well, since he wanted to play a part, I wasn't going to let his performance go to waste.

Looking at the glowing golden wealth line rising rapidly behind his head, my eyes welled up with emotion. I eagerly grabbed his hand.

"Who cares if you only make five grand a month? Honest work is the most honorable! I don't care that you're poor. Let's get married !"
