Consider the following sentence:
After she faked her death, she kept the fact that she was alive a secret from the rest of the world.
Here "the fact that she was alive" is a clear reference to her state of life, but I'd like to express this idea more concisely. It could be rephrased:
After she faked her death, she kept her being alive a secret from the rest of the world.
Unfortunately, this is a bit awkward and could possibly become unclear without the starting clause ("After she faked her death").
Are there any other options?

Modern English unfortunately has evolved so that the fact that ... is an unavoidable ugly phrase. 200 years ago, it would have undoubtedly been phrased differently. See Google Ngrams.

'Mortality' usually means 'ability to be killed'

“Mortality” can also mean death, and keeping her death a secret would seem to undermine the purpose of faking it. ;-)
