The Sixth Prince? I Begged Father Emperor to Execute Me at the Start!

Reborn as the empire's most despised prince, he faces certain death—so he gambles everything on one audacious move: demanding his own execution before the throne! Mistaking his recklessness for loyalty, the emperor banishes him to the frontier instead. Big mistake. Far from the capital's watchful eyes, this 'waste' secretly forges an unstoppable war machine. Years later, when rebellion erupts and the empire crumbles, they all come crawling back. The emperor begs for aid. The crown prince grovels for mercy. But the sixth prince? He's already won.
