The empire ruled by Alexius , Ortellis, was truly a boring country. The most interesting activity was reading history books, so the daily life was peaceful but lethargic. Then, a few years ago, a third-rate romance novel imported from another country caused a craze in the empire, and as a result, the romance genre began to flow in large quantities. This had a significant impact on Alexius in an unexpected direction.

Alexius encountered romance novels around the age of twenty. It was inevitable that Alexius , who was killing people on the battlefield in his youthful days and had no lover or anything, would fall into the sweetness of romance.

"There's no way I would read such childish things."

It feels like only yesterday that he was secretly hiding and reading them, but now he sits on the throne and starts reading them openly.

And now, Alexius has kidnapped Alex, whom he fell in love with at first sight at a ball seven years ago, and brought her here.

"Wait a moment. Hmm... yes, according to 'Became the Beloved Concubine of the Tyrant Emperor,' what I have to say now is... You are the first to catch my attention. Really... fascinating."
