How the Strategist of a Ruined Nation Survives

Young Tae Ryung (Top): The Emperor of Horyu who has emerged victorious in numerous wars.

He is a handsome man with a powerful impression, possessing both immense physical strength and high intelligence.

He enjoys rare things or things that are one of a kind, and he puts effort into gathering talented people regardless of their origins.

He feels a sense of curiosity toward Bi Yeon, who broke his schemes three times, and feels interest after seeing his unique appearance.

Song Bi Yeon (Bottom): The Chancellor of Mokju, which has now become a vassal state of Horyu.

His long silver hair and blue eyes combine to exude a mysterious atmosphere.

He is a brilliant strategist with outstanding abilities, but he has an unexpectedly clumsy side.

He feels more regret over what he personally lost than the fact that his country fell, and he is a person who pursues practical interests.

He finds it strange that he is rumored to be a loyal subject.
