After dying in an accident with his little sister, Kenji wakes up in the body of the young duke, a powerful but widely despised official in the Camelot Empire. Everyone sees him as a cunning traitor who manipulated the young Empress's rise to power. But he just want to survive.

The story follows Kenji as he navigates dangerous court politics while trying to shed his predecessor's villainous reputation. Though the emoress suspect and resent him, she can't eliminate him without risking her own position against rival factions.

The Empror's Trap

Lina's days were thoroughly occupied.

First, she rose at 6 AM each day for grooming and preparation.

At 6:30 sharp, she would go to the courtyard or training grounds to circulate her spiritual energy, ensuring smooth flow throughout her body. She would then practice her fist techniques followed by weapon drills.

Afterwards came meditation practice.

For someone trained in demonic arts like herself, meditation wasn't strictly necessary. But as Kenji said, it was still important to practice orthodox meditation and contemplation methods.

After completing her daily training regimen, Lina would return to her room and remove her training clothes.

She would then select and don an outfit from her wardrobe that was understated yet elegant. This was a daily necessity - as the duke's guard, while martial prowess was crucial, guards also served as the household's face and needed to maintain an aesthetic appeal.
