Summary
This is the story of a protagonist who reincarnates into the boss of a criminal organization, the final boss of the first season of an anime, and strives to survive even as the power escalation begins in the subsequent seasons. However, as a result of behaving in a way that doesn't reveal their true identity, they inadvertently give rise to fanatical followers.... more>>

It's a blend of recent popular light novel tropes where the protagonist reincarnates into a death flag character and utilizes their knowledge of the original work to strategize for survival, misunderstanding-based stories popular in old-school web novels, and a world-building and serious storyline reminiscent of popular shonen manga.

> Synopsis
When he woke up, he found himself inside a large castle, surrounded by unfamiliar sights. He was confused at first, but ◾︎◾︎◾︎◾︎◾︎ realized that he was in the world of his favorite anime and, to his surprise, he had become the final boss of the first season, "Jill."

"...Wait. Am I going to die here?"

The anime "Twilight of the Gods: Ragnarok" had three parts. The fate of its first part's final boss was to become a pawn for the final boss of the second part and die. If the anime's story progressed normally, Jill would meet a humiliating end.

"...Unless I break the original story."

To avoid such a disastrous fate and evade being a pawn, he decided to disrupt the flow of the original story.

"My goal is to reign over this world (and not die as a villain)."
"!?"

However, due to his incomplete statement, a tremendous misunderstanding occurs.

"This world belongs entirely to our master—Lord Jill!"
"What did you say!?"
"Kneel before the might of our master!!"
(Regarding the matter of accelerating misunderstandings among subordinates)

This is the tumultuous, misunderstanding-based survival strategy of a young man who unwittingly becomes the object of worship for a cult! <<less

The Xiao Dynasty would soon be destroyed under the new Emperor’s hand.

[Mother Consort ah, you did not fight or snatch, yet still incurred the jealousy of the Imperial Noble Consort, who issued an order for you to be buried alive with Father Emperor!]

[Elder brother ah, accomplished in both civil and military affairs, yet still viewed with suspicion by the new Emperor after Father Emperor’s death, plotted against and killed at the border pass.]

[Maternal grandfather ah, clean and honest your whole life yet still falsely charged by the new Emperor with six major crimes, your whole family exiled and killed!]

That year, Duke Wei returned to the capital from his northern patrol and brought back tens of thousands of captives.

In the rusty iron cage filled with stains, the Ninth Prince Zhou Huaiyan saw the little foreigner for the first time.

Black curly hair, pale green eyes, and scars of wounds strung together like beads. Although he was extremely afraid, he still bared his fangs fiercely.

His appearance looked very much like the long-haired cat he once had.

On a whim, Zhou Huaiyan took the person in, brought him back, washed him clean, and kept him by his side to admire his beauty.

The young man gently caressed his beautiful green eyes,

“From now on, you’ll be called Ah Fei.”

But no one expected that many years later, Ah Fei would become the only king of a different surname in the Zhou Dynasty, with great and impressive military exploits, shocking the land under heaven.

At that time, the emperor was old, sick, and weak, and his princes suddenly died one after another.

The king with a different surname seemed to have the intention of usurping the throne, leaving everyone’s hearts in the royal court and the court of law panicking.

The imprisoned Zhou Huaiyan sighed——

The unscrupulous indulgence of his youth has now become the most shameful past for this God of War.

Maybe he will be the one who dies the most tragically among the princes.

But in the end, Zhou Huaiyan didn’t expect that the ice-cold blade he had been waiting for did not come, rather, it was the imperial jade seal with all the bloodstains washed away.

“Master……”

The tall and beautiful foreign man crawled at his feet, looking as obedient and attached as a cat.

“Touch this s*ave, please…”

——

Everyone in the court and the commons knows that the king with a different surname who is now in power was just a lowly s*ave for Zhou Huaiyan to play with.

“So this is how you take revenge on me,”

The young man in the golden cage raised his head and gazed at the foreign man’s bulging belly with complicated eyes.

“By locking me up just to get you pregnant?”

“In his arms, you affectionately called him by his first name.”

“Eub.”

I held my breath because I couldn’t keep my mind from the intense musk scent that wrapped around my body. My whole body was tingling from the strange sensation that ran along the back of my neck.

"Cough, cough…!"

My dad is too frail.

Herwin silently drew his sword. The blood dripping from the blade belonged to the assassins scattered in the corridor.

"Sloppy."
"I suppose this will suffice."

When he was young, Fang Linyuan entered the palace. He saw a graceful figure in a single glance, and fell deeply in love. He was in unrequited love with Princess Huining for many years. ... more>>

Afterwards, he followed his father to guard the borders, and captured eighteen Beijiang cities, despite his young age. He returned in victory. All of it was for the sake of asking for Princess Huining’s hand in marriage.

Before, Huining’s mother had been ruined. Huining was thin and reclusive, having suffered neglect and humiliation. Yet she was still cold and unbending, like a pearl fallen in the mire.

Now, she was in the bloom of youth, striding through the palace with a vibrant crown. Her suitors filled the palace to bursting, yet no one could catch her eye.

That day, an imperial edict was declared to the realm, and the princess’s refusal was not allowed.

That night, the light of the red candles swayed, and a razor-sharp dagger met Fang Linyuan’s neck.

“Listen to my orders, or you’ll die without a complete corpse.”

Beneath the veil sounded the cold and unfamiliar voice of a young man.

***

Fang Linyuan received his long-sought wish, but the angel he dreamed of marrying as a boy turned out to be a man.

It turned out that Princess Huining, Zhao Chu, had been in disguise for many years, enduring humiliation and trials, just in order to protect himself in a den of tigers. He was waiting for a chance to take power and steal the throne.

And his marriage was nothing more than another layer of his disguise.

Fang Linyuan had nowhere to express his bitterness. He could only swallow his resentment and tuck away the sincerity he had paid in vain, wanting nothing more than to never see the false princess again.

But the marriage certificate was already written, and not only did he have to see Zhao Chu day after day, but he also had to put on a show of harmony and mutual respect with the false princess.

Fang Linyuan could only suffer patiently, being Zhao Chu’s false husband on one hand while waiting for war to arise on the other. Once it did, he would lead an army out of the capital, never to return.

But before the fires of war arose, there came the day when Princess Huining took power.

The throne was beneath him, and the officials bowed to him. Zhao Chu no longer needed to be Madam Fang.

Fang Linyuan offered him divorce papers, intending to retire from the capital and guard the borders.

Yet he saw Zhao Chu rip the divorce papers into tiny pieces with a cold expression, his eyes forbidding. Zhao Chu asked him why he started this mess only to abandon it at the end.

“But you’re a man,” Fang Linyuan explained.

Beneath the red candles, Zhao Chu’s face was luminous, just as when he had first seen him.

However, it is not easy to die because of the family's guardian magic. So I went to find a man.
The head of a family that that is hostile to the family I devoted my life to.
