Framed as a Fake Noble Lady, I Exposed the Capital's Corrupt Family Registry

Liselotte Walter, a 29-year-old family register clerk, has been correcting incorrect registrations at the Civil Registry Bureau. However, her 33-year-old fiancée Oscar Fellner and the 27-year-old saint candidate Seraphina Berne falsely accuse her of being a ``fake heiress'' and her engagement and job are taken away. The person who took her out of the capital was Klaus Richter, a 38-year-old cold-hearted duke who ruled the frontier. In order to expose the fraud in the relief ledger, he asks Liselotte to perform a one-year fake engagement and sort out the family register. An identity ledger full of blanks, a missing relief fund, a scratched-off birth certificate, and a saint candidate's donation ledger. The more he re-washes the documents, the more the royal capital's lies and the cheating of his ex-fiancées become connected. I will no longer accept fake roles. A love story about an adult family register clerk who finds happiness in the middle of nowhere, starting with a fake engagement.
