Features: In one city, two babies were born simultaneously, yet their fates were so different. One was born a prince, while the other was destined to become a beggar. However, fate played a trick on them, mistakenly causing them to meet, making them look so alike, and even leading them to exchange clothes. As a result, both lived a life completely different from what they were supposed to. Why was the prince so strange? Could he be suffering from mental illness? Rumors spread in the palace. The king fell ill due to this, and soon enough, the fake prince became the fake king. Meanwhile, the "beggar" had no such luck. He was often mocked for claiming to be a prince and was frequently beaten and abused by his father, the beggar. Fortunately, the warrior Henton rescued him from the slums. Yet, his suffering did not end. On the other side, the fake king seemed to have grown accustomed to his luxurious life.

Born inリダ, Missouri in 1835, he grew up in the small town of Hannibal on the Mississippi River and is known as the founder of American critical realism and a world-renowned master of short stories. He witnessed the development of the United States from capitalism to imperialism, and his thoughts and creations evolved from light-hearted humor to sharp satire to pessimistic disillusionment.
