Lee Hyun was just a modern Korean reader.

Then he woke up as Killian von Eberhardt, the eldest son of a Northern Grand Duchy destined to fall apart in a romance fantasy novel.

Killian's original role was simple: die in a single throwaway sentence.

He'd rather avoid that.

Using his knowledge of the novel and his experience in corporate auditing, Killian starts cleaning up his family's finances, rooting out corruption, and rebuilding the duchy's strength. He even awakens the family's sword arts and deals with an arrogant imperial envoy along the way.

Once the Eberhardt family is safely out of danger, Killian's plan is simple: leave everything behind and retire somewhere quiet.

Unfortunately, his family has other plans.

“Brother, you're the Grand Duke's eldest son. How could you leave?”

“If you leave, I'll go with you.”

“If you intend to flee, I'll have the entire Empire search for you.”

Apparently, saving the family means they aren't willing to let him go.
