Evan was never meant to be a hero.

Thrown into a brutal battlefield in a foreign world, he had no talent for the sword, no lineage to rely on, and no way out.

Until he discovered it.

Magic.

Under the relentless guidance of a sharp-tongued, tsundere mage, Iris, his latent potential awakened.
What began as survival turned into dominance.

Evan rose.

From a powerless outsider…
to a genius archmage who turned the tide of war.

Together with the Emperor, he crushed enemies, rewrote battlefields, and brought an end to a war that should have lasted generations.

And then, for the first time,

he chose peace.

Research. Quiet days. A future that didn’t involve bloodshed.

But peace doesn’t last.

When he returns to the empire he saved, something is wrong.

The court feels different.
The people act strangely.

The world itself… feels like it’s been rewritten into a romance fantasy.

As old bonds shift and new mysteries emerge, Evan finds himself pulled back into a story he doesn’t understand,

one where magic, love, and fate intertwine in ways far more dangerous than war.

Because this time, the enemy isn’t on the battlefield.

It’s hidden within the empire itself.
