Margrave’s Bastard Son was The Emperor is a gripping fantasy manhwa that follows the story of Ian, a young emperor who meets a tragic end due to a rebellion led by his nephew. However, fate grants him an unexpected second chance when a wizard named Naum uses forbidden space-time magic to send him 100 years into the past. Now, Ian finds himself inhabiting the body of a different Ian—an illegitimate son of a once-powerful noble family that was wiped out a century ago.
The manhwa skillfully blends elements of political intrigue, magic, and strategic warfare as Ian navigates his new life. Struggling to adapt, he quickly realizes that his new existence is no easier than his past one. With the looming threat of being taken hostage by barbarians and conspiracies lurking at every corner, Ian must use his knowledge of the future, his magical prowess, and his past experiences as an emperor to seize control of his fate.
Plot of Margrave’s Bastard Son was The Emperor

Ian, the Emperor of the Bariel Empire, was a prodigious ruler with immense magical talent. However, his reign was cut short when his nephew staged a rebellion, leading to his downfall and imprisonment. As he awaited his execution, the mysterious wizard Naum appeared, using forbidden space-time magic to save him. Instead of freeing him in his own timeline, however, Naum’s spell hurled Ian back 100 years into the past—into the body of Bastard Ian, the illegitimate son of the extinct Margrave family.
Unlike his previous life, where he was born into royalty, Ian now finds himself in a precarious position. His new identity is that of a powerless noble-born child about to be taken hostage by the barbarian forces. To survive, he must leverage his past knowledge, magical abilities, and strategic mind to change his fate. The once-great emperor refuses to be a victim again and begins to plot his rise to power.
As Ian attempts to reveal the mysteries surrounding his new life, he soon discovers that this past is not exactly as he remembers. Secrets, betrayals, and new threats challenge him at every step, but he refuses to back down. With a lifetime of experience and the ambition of an emperor, Ian sets out to rewrite history and reclaim what was once his.
