Chapter 1 - Ch. 1 The Beginning

A beautiful melodic sound made everyone close their eyes just to enjoy the angelic musical notes.

A girl with waist-length hair danced her expert fingers over the piano keys in a music studio. Her graceful movements followed the rhythm of pressing the various black and white piano keys.

Every now and then, her body moved along with the dynamic sound of her finger pressure. As the melody peaked, her petite torso sat upright as if watching the blue sky. On the contrary, when her fingers conducted the soft tone, her body bent slightly.

Undoubtedly, this girl was very gifted in playing this instrument called the piano. People would call her a genius because the music was so immersive that it seemed to be able to enter into the depths of a person's soul.

When she played a passionate piece, that girl could make the listeners excited and enthusiastic to do something that initially made them give up. She was capable enliven the almost extinguished flame.

When the girl played a touching song, she made her listeners feel the sadness she felt to shed tears.

Are you curious what this girl's name is? She was Kaylee Roesaline Zouch or better known as Roe.

Roe was your average twenty-five-year-old girl who lived in a harmonious family and loving parents. She had no siblings and did not have many friends as she was a silent type.

She would not strike a conversation if no one talked to her. Not that she did not want, but she could not. Roe did not know how to interact or open a topic first, so she only talked when people speak to her.

She did have a dear friend and adored her along with the friend's younger brother as if they were her siblings.

During her lifetime, her parents taught her to be elegant and classy. Her parents wished nothing but to have her married to a wealthy husband and lived happily. It seemed they even had their candidate, and soon enough, she would be engaged to someone she rarely met.

Kaylee Roe had shown her talent in playing the piano since three. She has now managed to become a professional pianist who often joined orchestras or accompanied famous singers as their pianist.

However, she hid this fact from her parents as she knew they did not want her to pursue her so-called 'useless' dream. That was why she kept her profession as a pianist hidden and acted as if she was the waiting 'bride' for her future husband.

Even though she often appeared at big events to show off her skills, she rarely appeared in front of the camera. Whenever someone wanted to make a public an orchestra concert and asked for a group photo, Kaylee always refused and walked back to her private dressing room.

Even if she had to appear in front of the camera, Kaylee would order her makeup artist to make her look different so that no one would recognize her face on her daily days.

Kaylee did not want her real face to be known to the whole world because she hoped her family didn't realize what she was doing.

That's why she rarely appeared on television shows and never accepted interviews for magazines. She just wanted to play the piano on stage and then went straight home after removing her makeup.

Therefore, it was no wonder that many did not know what a genius pianist's real face looks like even though her name was known to the point, she became a legend.

When Kaylee Roe appeared as a pianist at a concert, she would ask a makeup artist to change her appearance to a different person. But when she attended formal banquets from her family, Kaylee would appear as Kaylee Zouch with simple makeup showing her humble yet charming appearance.

No one would suspect that Roe was Kaylee or vice versa.

Kaylee was not the prettiest girl in the world, but her looks were not ugly either. Nevertheless, she was good looking and capable of stealing every man's breath every time she offered them a smile.

Kaylee was still pretty, with jet black hair flowing straight until it stopped just above her waist with or without makeup. Her black eyes matched her hair too. Her nose was sharp but not overly sharp, and she had thin pink lips like pink lemonade.

Two cute dimples appeared on both cheeks every time the girl smiles, and everyone would feel their heart melt when they see her smile.

She was quite feeling content with her peaceful daily life, until one day... her dear friend asked for help. She loved this friend dearly, and she would do anything to assist her without further asking what kind of help her friend wanted.

It never occurred to her that her best friend's request far exceeded her intellect to make her regret that she immediately complied with her request.

If only she could reverse the time, Kaylee would think twice before comply with her friend's request.

Her best friend asked Kaylee to disguise herself as her friend's brother so she could take the entrance exam to a prestigious university. Her younger brother majored in music, and his choice of university was the same campus as herself when she was in college.

Her best friend's younger brother could play the guitar very skillfully. He could even imitate other people's play with just one hearing. Her best friend's brother was more genius than Kaylee when it came to genius.

Unfortunately, there was one fatal weakness of the boy. He cannot read musical notes, which was an absolute requirement for the prospective new colleger.

The university entrance exam was tough and required all students to read musical notes. The aural test to test their hearing skill and how they performed their recital pieces and the sight-reading test must reach the specified perfection.

The boy might pass with the aural and recital test, but he would fail miserably on his sight-reading entrance exam.

"That can't possibly happen. Even if I succeed and get accepted, your brother will be caught unable to read sooner or later. Your brother and I have different faces, after all."

"Don't worry, don't you have a skilled makeup artist? I have prepared additional skin patches to make your face look more masculine, like my brother. No one would notice that you are a twenty-five years old girl."

"My posture is different from your brother." Kaylee was still trying to get out of this request because she couldn't imagine herself acting like someone she wasn't, let alone being a teenage boy like her best friend's brother..

"Who said that? You are almost the same height, and your body is also thin. No one will be suspicious. Take it easy."

"Everyone will know that people who take the entrance exam and come to campus are not the same person."

"No problem. Because after the exam is over, you will continue to replace my brother to take the college education."

WHAT?!

And here was the beginning of her journey. She was graceful and loved tidiness and cleanliness, turning into a teenage boy who was cheerful, energic, and.... totally not herself!
