You are a happy young man, about to marry a wonderful woman and secure a high position at your firm, since your boss highly values your achievements. Unfortunately for you, you're absolutely terrible at reading people. One of your friends, a coworker, envies your promotion (if not for you, he'd be the one rising). Your other friend is secretly in love with your fiancée. And so they decide the world would be a much better place without you. And they don't even need to kill you—just remove you for a long, long time.
Their plan was simple. An anonymous tip, documents planted on you, a judge who just needs to hit his quota of political cases—and just like that, you're a terrible criminal who dared threaten the sacred greatness of the ruling dynasty. Off you go to the darkest prison, where a solitary cell and a half-lifetime sentence await. Meanwhile, your "friends" happily divide the remains of your former life.

But every seasoned criminal knows: you never leave alive someone whose life you've destroyed. Because no matter how insignificant the person you crushed may seem, someone with nothing left to lose is truly dangerous in their unpredictability. However, your "friends" were not seasoned criminals. But you? You managed to escape your cell in the second year of your sentence.
And what they definitely didn't expect was that an old cellmate would tell you where a treasure was buried. Thanks to that, you now have enormous wealth at your disposal—wealth you can use for your revenge.
P.S Have you ever thought about the fact that The Count of Monte Cristo is an NTR story?
