Elian, a beggar with nothing to lose, died tragically, only to awaken in the body of the despised bastard son of a powerful Grand Duke in the Arcanoria Empire.

His second chance at life quickly turned into a nightmare when the Grand Duke’s household was executed, and Elian was sold into servitude as a courtesan.

In this cruel new existence, Elian crossed paths with Izan, the enigmatic crown prince who harbored dark secrets of his own. As they grew closer, a forbidden love began to blossom, one that could upend the delicate balance of power in the empire and destroy them both.

Torn between survival, betrayal and desire, Elian and Izan faced impossible choices. Could they defy the forces threatening to tear them apart, or would the empire crush their love before it even had a chance to begin?

From a Beggar to a Bastard

Izan carefully took the baby back, cradling him with practiced ease. "He might be eager, but this little one needs to rest after all the excitement of being born."

The former emperor chuckled and turned his attention to the baby still at Elian's chest. "And this little one... she's already got her dada wrapped around her finger, doesn't she?"

Elian laughed softly. "She hasn't even opened her eyes properly yet, and I'm already hers."

The warmth in the room was palpable as the three men shared a moment of quiet joy. The former emperor rested a hand on Izan's shoulder, his voice gentle. "I'm proud of you, son. Of both of you. You've built something beautiful together."

Izan's expression softened, and he placed his free hand over his father's. "Thank you, Father. That means a lot."
