One day, he was walking down the road with his family when the Scarlet Empress suddenly captured him. She used his family as leverage to strike a deal, and he had no choice but to accept the Empress's modifications. He became the Scarlet Empress's exclusive vessel, and even turned into a white-haired girl who looked exactly like her.
He had thought he'd just be a tool for the Empress, but to his surprise, she wanted to hand him the throne and have him serve as her stand-in, attending court to deal with all those tedious, endless affairs.
Minister: "Your Majesty, why are there two of you in the imperial city?"
White-Hair: "What's wrong with the Empress knowing a cloning spell?!"
Some Noble: "Your Majesty, his cow trampled my horse to death. How do you think we should deal with this?"
White-Hair: "What kind of pure-water-milk-horse-hoof-cake nonsense is this? Can we just drag him off and bury him?!"
After handling affairs all day, she returned to the palace exhausted, only to find the real Empress leisurely lying in a cradle, bathing in the moonlight. She was instantly furious.
Would you look at this mess? Could you do something about it?
Heh heh, good luck with that. Oh, and remember to deal with those documents too. I won't bother you any longer.
You, you, you... How did we end up with an Empress like this?
It's bad enough that the vampire progenitor wants to settle an old score with me, but now a human girl wants to cuddle up to me, and even the gods of another world are coming after me...
I'm not some kind of succubus, so stop clinging to me, aaaaaah!
