The parallel life of his Majesty

EternalMonarch17
Choi Sang-u, a brilliant but overworked surgeon, collapses from exhaustion-only to wake up in the body of Lee Hwa-jun, the emperor of a modern-day Joseon. With no memory of how he got there, Sang-u finds himself at the center of royal life, bound by duties and expectations he never asked for. Struggling to adapt to palace politics and his new identity, he must navigate the treacherous waters of ruling a kingdom, all while trying to understand his distant yet enigmatic bride, Empress Ahn Yuna. As Sang-u becomes entangled in the dangerous intrigue of court life, he must balance the weight of his new role with the desire to make a difference in a world that feels both foreign and familiar. From political conspiracies to heart-stopping romance, can a man who only ever wanted to heal save a kingdom-and himself-from the chaos around them?

What if money was power? What if capital was magical? What if income was cultivation? What if a young man decided to destroy this unjust world of inequality and build a better one? That was exactly what Cæ (Cash) sought to do amid grief, anger, and hatred when he lost everything in an accident. Having come from nothing in the slums, his only goal had been to live a good life. By the age of twenty-two, he had finally managed to pull himself out of poverty with a decent job and romance. And then he lost everything he had ever built in an accident that left him in a coma for half a year. The world deprived him of the only person he had truly come to love. The predatory healthcare system burdened him with debt. The corrupt justice system deprived him of justice. The financial system robbed him of everything he owned. For the second time in his life, Cæ had been left with nothing. Well, almost nothing. The accident and the ensuing coma had altered his brain and mind, giving him an extraordinary talent for cultivating and mastering magic. He had been blessed with Acquired Savant Syndrome, a medical condition so rare that there were very few instances of it ever having occurred in history. It gave him endless potential and remarkable power. It gave him the power to destroy the world that he hated from the bottom of his heart. It gave him the power to destroy it and build a better one. And that was exactly what Cæ set out to do. --- This is my second novel, albeit my first time trying my hand at Royal Road. This story is centered around my desire to explore a story with a magical system centered around macroeconomics and politics. As the title suggests, this story will be centered around kingdom-building and progression fantasy. Romance is a coin flip. No smut. No harem. No systems. Hope you enjoy reading this as much as I enjoy writing it.
