Starting a forbidden relationship with the duke's daughter was the most reckless thing Lucian had ever done. His only risks before were hunting rare saplings from dangerous places. Now he was breaking the nobles' rules, and it backfired horribly -- he almost died, lost friends, fled his homeland, and almost died again. "So dumb," the devil voice in his head whispers in disdain. "How more idiotic can you get?" Lucian answers that idiocy goes deep and wide. His goal is to get wealthy and powerful enough to afford more idiocy, his arsenal is blood, sweat, tears, and pure wits, and his starting point is gardener with an unknown end. The second male lead of an otome world discovers that the villainess he cannot resist is worth every catastrophic decision. As he climbs from gardener to something greater, navigating toxic love and psychological warfare, Lucian proves that the most dangerous choice in a world of heroes and villains is falling for the one everyone says you should not. The villainess is all he wants, and he will burn the world to keep her.
