[Self-Interest] [Ruthless] [Scheming] [Lordly Rivalry] [Revenge]

Ivan, the illegitimate son of Count Ross of Reto Castle in the northern region of the Jinsha Empire, was fated from the start to live a lowly life.

Not only was he denied any share of the family estate or the title, he was also bullied for years by his legitimate brothers. His mother was even driven to her death by his eldest legitimate brother. In this family, rife with discrimination and injustice, Ivan's heart burns with hatred for the Yelan family. He longs for the day he can destroy them.

After being pushed aside by Matt, the eldest son of the family, Ivan is eventually forced to join the empire's expeditionary corps with the family troops.

Yet this war becomes the turning point of Ivan's fate. The imperial army Ivan serves in suffers a crushing defeat, and his father dies on the battlefield, giving him the chance to take command of the family troops.

And so Ivan's era begins. He will take everything that originally belonged to his eldest brother...
