Alistair Ashencrest was once an overworked government official in America—until he woke up in a fantasy empire as the Leader of the Imperial Council of Ministers. Now, he’s stuck managing an empire where corrupt nobles, power-hungry schemers, and war-hungry generals constantly test his patience.
The Emperor relies on him. The nobles fear him. The commoners spread ridiculous rumors about his supposed tyranny. And worst of all? He still has to deal with paperwork.
Between surviving noble schemes, balancing the empire’s politics, and avoiding troublesome romance rumors, Alistair just wants to do his job efficiently.
But with four powerful women trying to entangle him in politics and romance, a paranoid Emperor, and multiple coup attempts every year, his life is anything but peaceful.
"I saved the empire. Why am I still working overtime?"
