Hyun-woo Yoon has dedicated over a decade of his life to the Sunyang Group, serving as a loyal "fixer" who handled the family's dirtiest secrets. Despite his unwavering obedience, his service ends in a cold-blooded betrayal when he is framed for embezzlement and murdered by the very family he protected. However, death is not the end. Hyun-woo awakens in the body of Jin-do Jun, the youngest grandson of the Sunyang empire's founder, but decades in the past.

Retaining every memory of the future—including the family’s upcoming internal conflicts, stock market shifts, and technological breakthroughs—Hyun-woo begins a meticulous campaign to dismantle the Sunyang Group from within. He must navigate a treacherous landscape of corporate inheritance, sibling rivalry, and the formidable shadow of his grandfather, Jin Yang-cheol, the man who built the empire. It is a game of psychological warfare where foresight is the ultimate weapon.
