I Was the King's Unwanted Heir
Everyone thinks being the only princess is a dream—until your own father would rather rule with an iron heart than ever love you.
Evelyn Ashcombe survives a palace of secrets, her father’s chilling indifference, and a kingdom that sees her as nothing but a curse. When an exiled prince with a mysterious system tries—and spectacularly fails—to win her over, their fates tangle with deadly royal politics, vengeful nobles, and the sudden, impossible return of the mother Evelyn thought she’d lost forever. As old wounds rip open and enemies circle, Evelyn learns the truth about her bloodline, her parents’ obsession, and the ruthless loyalty that shapes them all.
But when two foreign princesses arrive to claim the king’s heart, and systems threaten to erase them all, Evelyn must decide: will she protect her family’s legacy or claim her own destiny?
If her parents are finally reunited, what future is left for the princess who was never meant to survive?
