A woman has gone viral after admitting that she pretended to be her deceased twin sister for years due to a heartbreaking reason.

Annie Niu tragically lost her sister five years ago from viral meningitis, though the family had apparently kept the news from their grandparents.

It had gotten to the point where Annie, a social media personality, played the role of her dead sister while on the phone with her grandparents every holiday.

However, the TikToker shared that she recently decided to tell family members the truth about what has been happening and explained everything in a viral clip.

Text overlaying the video reads: "POV: You finally told your family that your twin sister passed away five years ago, and they took down every single family photo that had her in it (which is pretty much every photo in their home)."

The extended family were also left unaware of Annie's sister's passing, an idea that was thought up by her father, according to the influencer.

In another video, she said: "I think it's because he didn't want to withhold this information but he also didn't want to cause them any more heartbreak. And God forbid they are 92 and something happens."

As you'd probably expect, Annie explained how a lot of her family reacted badly to the news after finding out.

"My aunts apparently made the decision to take down every single photo that contained my sister," Annie said.

"Imagine my surprise when I took my kids to go visit my grandpa and I look on the walls and none of our photos are there."

Annie went on to say how she feels 'sad' about the situation, though there are some people in the family still unaware of the truth.

She said her grandmother was told while on her 'deathbed', but her grandfather is still none the wiser that one of his granddaughters has passed away.

Many TikTok users have flocked to the comments section of the video, with the vast majority shocked that this is a real story.

"What do u meaannnn what do u mean what do u meannnn im so confuseddd," one person penned.

A second added: "First, I’m sooo sorry for ur loss. But like we need a back story are they like super old relatives you waited to tell? Did they ever ask about her or wonder why they didn’t see u together?"

While a third remarked: "I know it hurts but I believe it's their way of healing as well. I'm so sorry for your loss."
