Other Half: 비밀의 삶

Ytiamy
His own face turned into his greatest enemy. He wasn't living - he was waiting for his end. Joo Won was nothing more than a player in his own life, forced to perform the role of a perfect heir in a world built on lies. Every move had to be flawless, because one mistake could destroy the only person who ever mattered - his other half. His body is covered in scars, but none cut deeper than the one left by a goodbye that never came. All he has left is a faded photograph - two boys smiling in the orphanage garden, unaware that fate was already writing their tragedy. Now, even as a powerful chaebol heir, Joo Won lives like a prisoner in his own empire, counting down his days in silence. Will he die without finding the boy who was once his world? Or will his gilded cage become the stage for his final rebellion? A dark thriller romance about identity, power, and the haunting bond between two souls torn apart by fate. Small note: I am a big fan of, video games, astronomy and ghost stories, so the story includes many references to them. If you find any reference that you cannot make sense of, please google it for clarification. For example, you'll see "Alpha Centauri" recurring in the story- it is a constellation of 3 stars- 2 big and 1 dwarf. This is my debut work, and I would appreciate constructive criticism.

[Fake Aristocrat + Empress Regnant + Identity Concealment + Charisma + Nation-building + Personal Growth] Luo Wei has transmigrated.

She's about to be exposed as a commoner, facing contempt and insults from the entire school, and ultimately destined to be hanged at the marketplace gallows. Luo Wei: What's there to fear? It's just pretending to be nobility. As someone from the 21st century, she can act more noble than the nobles themselves! When a noble lady tries to test her with expensive spices, Luo Wei takes one look: Aren't these just common seasonings found everywhere in Western cuisine? As if she's never tasted them before! They say she's a commoner who can't do geometry? Luo Wei smiles slightly: Isn't it just trigonometric functions? She learned that in middle school! What? They say she's poor and has no money? She casually produces an entire bolt of silk fabric to make pajamas, and while she's at it, makes a chest full of silk handkerchiefs, using them once and tossing them away. They say she has no fief and isn't a true noble? Hah! She makes money by day and reclaims land by night. While attending school, she's busy cultivating land. Soon, millions of square kilometers of fertile soil in the New World are all hers. She establishes her own country and ennobles herself! Finally, her identity is exposed by an old acquaintance. The Holy Church wants to put her on trial, presenting evidence that she's not a noble - they couldn't find her patent of nobility in the Mist Kingdom. Luo Wei: A noble title? Sorry, she indeed doesn't have one. Because she is the Empress Regnant of the Mist Kingdom! In the end, she abolishes the aristocratic system, establishes a new country, and becomes a deity in the hearts of countless commoners.
