Birthmark



They were born identical. They were raised worlds apart.

One flaw decided who was kept—and who was given away.

Twin sisters separated at birth grow up in very different worlds.

Li Yen lives a quiet life shaped by duty and sacrifice, helping her struggling family survive while caring for a mother whose illness has slowly reshaped her future. Nicole, meanwhile, moves easily through a life of privilege—one filled with glamour, freedom and dangerous possibilities.

They share the same face. The same DNA.

But nothing else.

When an unexpected encounter finally brings them together, curiosity draws them closer—and into lives neither fully understands. As boundaries begin to blur, long-buried secrets rise to the surface and the fragile balance between them begins to fracture.

Because the life that seems perfect from the outside may conceal something far darker beneath.

And once you step into someone else's world, it may be impossible to return to your own.
