### Summary
A modern man reincarnated as Grand Prince Jin-seong must navigate the treacherous court of his volatile and tyrannical older brother, King Yeonsan. Initially focused on survival, Jin-seong's mission evolved to protecting his new wife, compelling him to use his future knowledge to alter the timeline by introducing anachronisms like modern medicine and food. However, his attempts to positively influence the paranoid King have backfired catastrophically, with a simple poem being misinterpreted as an endorsement for a political purge, cementing a dangerous alliance in the King's mind. This failure, coupled with the provocations of arrogant officials, has transformed Jin-seong from a man trying to prevent his brother's tyranny into a ruthless strategist orchestrating his own preemptive bloodbath. While he plots this "necessary evil," the court is rife with its own intrigue, as a rival consort begins a power grab against the Queen that foreshadows future manipulation, and a new tax policy targeting the wealthy introduces themes of class justice. The latest developments have apparently thrust the prince into a martial conflict, prompting reader speculation on his fighting prowess and whether his modern strategic knowledge can overcome his presumed lack of physical combat skills.
