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

"Won't see me?" Siguo looked at Lina with a cold face, then sneered, "May I ask, since when did the imperial family's internal affairs require the Grand Marshal's attention?"

"Her Majesty herself decided to let my young master handle your position. If you have any complaints, you can take them up with Her Majesty. I won't stop you," Lina made a please gesture.

However, both Siguo and Lina, who was following Kenji's instructions, knew this was impossible. The Fifth Prince had already committed a grave mistake in this matter, a crime worthy of multiple death sentences. At this point, Siguo had no right to petition Pluvia to remove Kenji.

Besides, even revoking the position now would be pointless since Kenji had already completed all the work Pluvia needed done in the Ancestral Affairs position. He had dealt with all the necessary obstacles, and all that remained was for Kenji to complete the handover with Siguo in the coming days.
