Well, it might look something like that in a similar sentence, say: “спрятавшись во лжи, я не могу быть в мире с самим собой”, but note the additional o in во лжи. I don’t know if they teach you this in grammar books, but we add the "o" to make the sound flow. Without it it’s almost a tongue-twister whereas in в грязи, for example, your в sounds just fine, all in accordance with the rule you may have made your assumption on.

Yes I do know of this rule, I just always forget it (also I didn't know it applied to the consonant cluster «лж» specifically... is there a list somewhere of the consonant clusters this rule applies to?)
