BLURB
Yoo Ha-eun is the most famous face no one has ever seen.
As MUSE, the masked lead singer of WE — the nation's top five-member band — she's spent a decade hidden behind white lacquer, her real face a mystery even to the four women she calls sisters. She's tired. She's ready to walk away. She tells exactly one person: her manager.
That's her first mistake.
Her trainee has spent a year learning her — the laugh, the walk, the pause before she answers a question she hates — being quietly groomed to disappear into Ha-eun's life the moment she's gone. When Ha-eun finds out, she isn't allowed to simply leave. She's chased through her own company, out into traffic, and left broken in the street.
She wakes up two years later. Two years she doesn't remember living. And the man who saved her — who has kept her hidden in his home ever since — is Kang Si-woo, the one man she ever humiliated in public, and the one man who never forgave her for it.
While she was gone, her trainee didn't just take her name. She had her face rebuilt, surgery by surgery, until even Ha-eun's own parents couldn't tell the difference. The only people left who might sense something is wrong are the four bandmates who never saw the real Ha-eun's face either — and are starting to notice that the woman standing where she used to stand doesn't laugh right, doesn't move right, isn't right.
To take her life back, Ha-eun will have to trust the man she wronged, outmaneuver the girl who stole her, and prove to her own band that the stranger among them isn't her — before the truth gets buried for good.
