The Crown Was Never Hers

After being abandoned by the prince, a handmaiden swapped her own infant with the queen’s newborn. Eighteen years later, the true princess—having grown up in poverty—saved the queen’s life, though no one recognized her. Falsely accused of theft and driven to attempt suicide, she discovered the truth about her own origins. Meanwhile, the queen, who was being slowly poisoned by her unfaithful husband and the imposter daughter, finally learned the truth. At the coronation ceremony, she dramatically exposed the conspiracy and embraced her biological daughter before the entire assembly.
