I have returned to the pinnacle of the four Divine Beasts who once killed me.
About
In the 'Shinju Empire,' four tribes of Divine Beasts with surreal elemental powers coexist precariously with a powerless human Emperor. In my first life, having just ascended the throne, the price for being deceived by the sweet words and hypocritical obedience of the Divine Beast leaders was horrific. At the moment their secret rebellion sent a cold blade piercing through my heart— 'Cheon-gi-gyeok,' the imperial heirloom and a life-consuming taboo, was activated, and time began to flow backward. When I opened my eyes, the scenery unfolded once more. The eight red pillars supporting the ceiling, the cool touch of the marble floor, and the four leaders who killed me walking through the great hall doors. I will not be deceived this time. This is my one chance to suppress and control their elemental powers through the authority of Cheon-gi-gyeok. At the center of the great hall, where the Divine Beasts' scrutiny and vigilance begin, I smiled serenely at the perpetrators before me, harboring the memories of my brutal past life. "It is a pleasure to meet you. From now on... let us take our time getting to know one another very slowly."

Intro
The scent of cold iron and the stench of red blood stung the tip of my nose. The cold calculations hidden behind kind smiles, the chilling teeth of the Divine Beasts concealed under hypocritical obedience.
The end of my first life, where I fell into the status of a helpless puppet slave after being deceived by their sweet words, was a horrific rebellion.
A sharp sensation slicing through my heart. At the moment my vision was dyed black, the ancient taboo sleeping deep within my veins, 'Cheon-gi-gyeok,' surged violently.
A heavy resonance that twists time and space in response to the Emperor's death. Along with an intense dizziness as if the world were turning upside down, my cooling soul climbed back up the rough waves of time.
I opened my eyes, letting out a suppressed gasp.
Eight red pillars supporting the ceiling and pitch-black marble laid on the floor.
The very day I had ascended the throne in a daze, knowing nothing, immediately after the previous Emperor's passing.
