Alternative Tittle: The Second Male Lead’s POV (in an Otome World)

Starting a forbidden relationship with the duke’s daughter was the most reckless thing Lucian had ever done in his life. 

Up until now, his only risks were hunting rare saplings from dangerous places. 

Now, he was breaking the nobles’ rules.

And it backfired, horribly. Not once, not twice, not thrice but multiple times. He almost died once, lost a few friends, fled his homeland, and then almost died again, but here he was, not really learning. 

"So dumb," the devil voice in his head whispered in disdain, "How more idiotic can you get?"

"As far as idiocy goes deep," Lucian answered, accepting the new path of his life, "And it goes deep. And wide."

Goal: get wealthy and powerful enough to afford more idiocy

Current arsenal: blood, sweat, tears, and pure wits

Start point: gardener 

End point: unknown

Trigger warnings: LOADS OF ROMANCE (the psychological kind), toxic love

Hey, you probably noticed that this novel doesn't have locked chapters, and here is why.


I signed the contract with Webnovel for the gifting option and the character profile images (I can lock chapters whenever I want, but I won't).


I don't expect people to donate to me for free content, but the option is available if you want to support my writing.


You can also subscribe to my 1 $ gold tier at ko-fi (check my profile), for some couple fan-arts of Celine x Lucian, and maybe even some NSFW ones, maybe. Depends on the demand.
