Gold-gilded poison sits in a silver chalice, and the whispering shadows of the imperial palace grow longer by the hour. In this cutthroat court, a single misstep means a blade in the dark, especially when the royal family treats succession like a blood sport. Scheme-filled banquet halls and silent assassins rule the night, waiting for the weak to falter.

Enter the empire's worst nightmare: the "rogue first prince," a notorious drunkard and disappointment slated for an early grave. But the soul currently occupying this royal shell isn't the useless heir everyone expects. Transmigration has thrust a modern soul into a foreign web of betrayal, starting a grim countdown to execution in this high-stakes manhwa. To avoid the chopping block, he must outmaneuver scheming dukes, hostile siblings, and the crown itself. Can he turn the empire’s greatest royal failure into its ultimate survivor, or will the executioner's axe claim him first?

Also known as: I Became the Rogue Crown Prince, 막나가는 황태자가 되었다.
