Imagine inheriting a beautiful house with a pool after losing three family members, only to have a so-called friend try to ruin your life. That’s exactly what happened to our protagonist, who was left to care for her two nieces after a tragic accident. She thought she’d found a friend in a local woman, but things took a dark turn when this ‘friend’ started spreading false rumors about her boyfriend and niece. Now, the village is divided, and our protagonist is left wondering if she’s the one in the wrong.
