After the Substitute Ran Away, the Crown Prince Became Obsessive

Everyone in the Eastern Palace knew that the beautiful concubine by the Crown Prince's side was the lowest-ranking person in the palace. He was a little mute whom anyone could bully.

He wasn't even worthy of a name. Everyone simply called him A Nu.

A Nu knew that he had been taken in to warm the Crown Prince's bed because he resembled the Crown Prince's white moonlight, the Imperial Preceptor.

A Nu had no preferences or ideas of his own. The Crown Prince raised him to be exactly like his white moonlight in every way.

But no matter how he was raised, A Nu remained the timid little mute who blushed whenever he saw someone, nothing like the Crown Prince's radiant and noble white moonlight.

Everyone thought the Crown Prince was sick of the little mute, but he never sent A Nu away. A Nu's adoring gaze whenever he looked at the Crown Prince was simply unforgettable.

Then came word that the Crown Prince's white moonlight, the Imperial Preceptor, had finally agreed to marry him. A Nu became the laughingstock of the entire Eastern Palace.

But that very night, A Nu, who had been the Crown Prince's most devoted admirer, packed his things and ran away.

When the Crown Prince heard the news, he called off the wedding and immediately issued a death order to bring A Nu back.

But when the Crown Prince saw A Nu again, it was at his royal uncle's wedding banquet. A Nu had become the Prince's consort.

Only then did the Crown Prince realize that he, too, had been a substitute in A Nu's eyes. A Nu had taken him for his royal uncle, who was rumored to have fallen in battle but had actually been undercover among the barbarians, killing the enemy, and had just returned victorious.

The Crown Prince became obsessed right there and then!

Blurb posted for now. Two-way substitutes. A sunny, silly, sweet bottom. Still haven't decided who the top will be, probably the royal uncle.
