The Strategist of the Second Life
Hit by a truck and reborn as Leon Aflegar, the notorious, problematic son of a failing ducal family, college student Takumi must use his modern genius to save his new house from ruin. From revitalizing barren mines with forgotten science to crushing rivals with ruthless strategy, Leon's meteoric rise earns him a powerful new title: Grand Duke. But as his influence soars, Leon finds himself caught in a treacherous love triangle. There's Lady Isolde, a brilliant, ambitious noblewoman offering a future of limitless power and a perfect strategic alliance. And then there's Mira, his quiet, loyal maid, whose unwavering devotion and unseen support stir a profound, soul-deep longing he fears societal barriers forbid. With a kingdom to stabilize and a dangerous conspiracy brewing within the Crown, Leon must navigate a world where duty and desire collide. Can he secure his domain and choose his heart, or will the glittering ambition of one woman overshadow the quiet love of another, leaving him forever a strategist, but never truly happy?
