伯爵令嬢

Corinne is an energetic young woman living in a modest orphanage in romantic France at the close of the 19th century. Her neighbor is Richard, a wealthy nobleman who tragically lost his sight in his youth. Through her warm and compassionate nature, Corinne brings comfort to Richard's frozen heart, and he falls in love with her despite never having seen her face. However, Richard's fellow nobleman and friend Alain has also developed feelings for Corinne, and he is determined to win her at any cost—even if it means resorting to pressure and deceit. One day, Corinne receives word that her birth family is still alive and that they are aristocrats in Paris—a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Unfortunately, her journey takes a dark turn when she encounters a penniless thief named Anna, who grows fiercely jealous of Corinne's newfound good fortune. When their ship sinks during a storm, Anna seizes the chance to assume Corinne's identity and live a life of comfort and ease. Corinne is rescued, but she has lost all memory of her past. Learning of this, Alain lies to her, claiming that he is her fiancé. Will Corinne ever reunite with Richard, or will she remain bound to Alain's web of lies?
