"Damn it... I woke up as the empire's most useless prince."
You awaken inside the body of the youngest prince of the Empire—a drunken, gambling womanizer universally mocked by the royal family and written off by the court as a hopeless disgrace. According to history, he is destined to die long before anyone ever reaches the Dragon Throne.
Fortunately, everyone believes you're an idiot.
Unfortunately, the spirit of the First Emperor has chosen you as his successor.
Hide your true abilities behind a mask of laziness and vice. Amass wealth, build a network of loyal followers, manipulate ministers and princes alike, and slowly turn the entire empire into your chessboard. Every alliance, betrayal, marriage, and battle will shape your rise... if you can survive long enough to claim the Dragon Throne.
