The False Heir Fell for the Real Crown Prince

Basil has spent his entire life as the kingdom's beloved crown prince. Handsome, wealthy, and spoiled beyond reason, he never doubted that one day he would inherit the throne. While his arrogance and terrible temper made him unpopular among the nobility, Basil never cared. As far as he was concerned, the kingdom belonged to him.

Everything changes on the eve of his twenty-first birthday when the royal family discovers a devastating truth.

Basil is not their son.

Years ago, an envious maid switched the royal heirs at birth, sending the true crown prince to an orphanage while Basil unknowingly took his place in the palace.

The real crown prince, Darius, is finally found living on the streets. Expecting to lose everything, Basil braces himself for abandonment, humiliation, and exile. Instead, Darius refuses to let him go.

Despite having every reason to hate the man who unknowingly lived the life that should have been his, Darius welcomes Basil with kindness, insists that the palace will always be his home, and protects him with a fierce possessiveness that initially unsettles Basil and leaves him wondering about Darius's true motives. But the more Basil searches for hidden intentions behind Darius's actions, the more he realizes that the real crown prince genuinely cares about him.

Soon, Basil finds himself facing a far more personal battle: his growing feelings for the real crown prince.

Because somewhere between Darius's unwavering support and fierce possessiveness, Basil has fallen in love with the one person he was supposed to see as his replacement.
