Alternative Title: The Second Male Lead’s POV (in an Otome World)
──────────────────────────
SYNOPSIS:

Starting a forbidden relationship with the duke’s daughter was the most reckless thing Lucian had ever done in his life. And he was a professional when it came to recklessness.

It backfired, horribly, in every possible way. He almost died, fled his homeland, and then almost died again, but here he was, not really learning. 

"So dumb," the devil voice in his head whispered in disdain, "How more idiotic can you get?"

"As far as idiocy goes deep," Lucian answered, accepting the new path of his life, one that might cost him his sanity, "And it goes deep. And wide."

Goal: get wealthy and powerful enough to afford more idiocy

Current arsenal: blood, sweat, tears, and pure wits

Start point: gardener 

End point: unknown

Method: whatever works

"I'm a good person," Lucian claimed, "The 'whatever works' should be changed to 'whatever works morally and sensibly' and 'unknown' to 'a glorious victory'."

The devil voice in his head laughed so hard he felt it in his bones, shaking him like a puppet on a string.
