Did the Crown Princess Steal a Baby Today?

The Crown Prince had been missing for two years. When he returned to the capital, he was carrying a one-year-old child whose features looked exactly like his. Before long, the palace announced to the world that while the Crown Prince was in peril, he had been saved by a woman from the common folk. The two married and had a little prince, but sadly, the woman was short-lived. She fell ill and died not long after giving birth, and was posthumously named Crown Princess.

Three years later, autumn rain fell like silk. A woman wearing a straw rain cape, a long saber on her back, and riding a big, well-fed black donkey appeared at the gates of the eastern palace. Forget that damn man. She could do without him. But that little brat was the child she had carried for ten months and gone through so much to give birth to. She had to steal him back.
