Description
Wealth and power, what would you do to gain such possessions as that? Would you murder? Would you steal? Would you scheme? Would you utterly use people in order to get those things?What if you needed wealth and power to save those you hold dear? Your loved ones who can't survive unless you take that single step into oblivion.
To be a criminal, a murderer, or a plotter who would do anything to achieve one's own goals.What lies before you is that kind of story; a young man who seeks to climb the fierce ladder to nobility. To ease his loved one's pains, to do what must be done, even if he has to become the most loathed man in his own aching heart.—
WARNING: A VERY slow paced story.

- 10tailedfoxRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0Holy shit it's been like 30 chapters and only 3 days have passed. Still best story on RR tho
- ChroRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0From the characters to the story, this piece of writing is absolutey flawless! Start to the most recent chapter, I've stayed intrigued and excited by what the protagonist would do next, plus being bored is something that never happened.
The only complain is the speed of updates, because it causes agony to wait for the next chapter lol. - LasiefoRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0couldnt write a review due to the adblock bugg
started reading the story the moment it came out and am a fan of since then
gonna make it short
its the best drama story
if you like drama and intrigue and want to have some sidedish with game of thrones
read it - Zombie UnicorneRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0The MC is such a great character. Though opinion may beg to differ. He’s a adulterer in disguised, a sceamer, cheater, manipulator and would use anyone around him then would throw them away when he’s done. But character wise and how he is presented, is great and fantastic.
But, The MC being the way he is, I’m 100% sure that he can be a deal breaker to some. But still, he’s such a great character.
The main characters, like I said, is in for himself and to some extent to his mother. But he’s mostly for himself. He is a hypocrite through and through and I Love him for that. He would twist words around to sooth his agenda and spat out shit that he doesn’t even believe to capture the heart and soul of everyone around him. That’s just fantastic. Hypocrisy done right. Love it! - sharu101Royal Road★★★★★ 5.0Good story so far only thing it's missing is harem i hope you add harem in future because I think Malinda and her sister Madelyn and the banshee girl loves mc.
- Forgiv3n324Royal Road★★★★★ 4.5Beautiful MC who is a right cunning bastard behind a mask of sincerity.
The main heroine is very beautiful, she’s so nice that I actually feel guilty that she’s landed with the MC like honestly she doesn’t deserve that kind of bastard lul
Plot seems interesting wonder where his ambitions will land him and will he succeed in bloody glory or will be fail like how Light did and burn out in a blaze of glory?
My only problem, is that it seems any and all noble women he talks with get soaked panties which is the only reason why it’s believable as to why the main heroine ‘loves’ the MC
Also his father very spooky very mysteriousness :3 - Andrej JaksicRoyal Road★★★★★ 4.5hmm story is intresting and well writen i enjoyed very much , i think our mc lacks to much emotion i wish that his heart would turn softer towwards his lover , well only day have and half have passed.
But dammit it how the fuck did you do 30 not short chapters in day and half and still make it that good
true skills :D - AustakenRoyal Road★★★★★ 4.5Don't get me wrong the story is is amazing, however it focuses more on drama and romance with very little to no action. I gave it 4 and 1/2 stars due to the fact that even though I personaly didn't enjoy it, it still is a great story.(I read up until chapter 14, so if there is more action after that sorry)
P.s The main has a great back story/ origin, however I feel the author doesn't use it in the story(again this from reading to chapter 14 if the author use it more after that sorry) - halestlemonRoyal Road★★★★★ 4.5your writing is amazing. the tension keeps building up, and the plot keeps getting thicker.
i love the pacing of the story, it gives time to fully expose the dialogue between the characters as well as their internal thoughts.
this is like watching a first class drama, but without the flaws of acting and directing.
who cares about action or cultivation or monsters or "oh I am going to train in seclusion now" or meaningless gore or crude horror?
THIS is what we need more of, it reminds me of game of thrones
cudos to you, and thank you for your talent and hard work - FieryblueRoyal Road★★★★ 4.0I like the concept, the story is very well thought out, and everything is well written and interesting. The only thing I don't like about it is that something about the sentences and their structuring feels off to me personally. This may seem like a minor detail undeserving of a full star off, however I found it very distracting and it made it very hard to read through the story. I 100% recommend this story to anyone who enjoys drama and intrigue.
