Description

Kaito's life was stuck in neutral: nearing forty, overworked, and desperately single. A fleeting glimpse of a mysterious woman, a dropped jade hairpin, and a sudden encounter with Truck-kun change everything. He awakens in a vibrant, ancient marketplace—a world of martial power where he's labeled the 'Weakest Human'. Lost, confused, and drawing stares in his cheap suit, Kaito's problems truly begin when the hairpin he still clutches triggers mass panic. It belongs to the legendary Demon Empress, and by picking it up, he unknowingly invoked an Ancient Law: a binding marriage proposal.

Now, facing the lethally beautiful Empress herself—who accepts his 'proposal' at swordpoint to uphold her honor—Kaito is trapped.As if being bound to a suspicious, all-powerful ruler wasn't enough, his accidental 'proposal' has infuriated countless powerful figures across the land who sought the Empress's hand. Now, every scorned suitor, ambitious warlord, and jealous sect leader wants a piece of the 'Weakest Human' who inadvertently stole their prize.

Can this out-of-place salaryman survive being engaged to a terrifying ruler who suspects him of treachery, navigate a world he doesn't understand while dodging assassination attempts from vengeful rivals, and maybe, just maybe, figure out what the Demon Empress actually wants before someone finally succeeds in ending his second life?

So far, so good.
The first few chapters have gone by in a flash. The writing style has a dream like feel that fits with what the main character is experiencing.
I am excited to see how the story will progress and change for the characters of Kaito and Mo Xue.
I need to see more before giving a higher score, but there is a fun set up in the first 9 chapters that can pay off with action, comedy and romance.
