contents The 't Hooft anomaly matching condition provides constraints on the phase structure at $θ=π$ in 4D SU($N$) Yang-Mills theory. In particular, assuming that the theory is confined and the CP symmetry is spontaneously broken at low temperature, it cannot be restored below the deconfining temperature at $θ=π$. Here we investigate the CP restoration at $θ=π$ in the 4D SU(2) case and provide numerical evidence that the CP restoration occurs at a temperature higher than the deconfining temperature unlike the known results in the large-$N$ limit, where the CP restoration occurs precisely at the deconfining temperature. The severe sign problem at $θ=π$ is avoided by focusing on the tail of the topological charge distribution at $θ=0$, which can be probed by performing simulations at imaginary $θ$. By analytic continuation with respect to $θ$, we obtain the topological charge at real $θ$.
