Summary
I was once a smiling, well-intentioned leader who drove the nation to ruin. By squandering a 5,000 trillion won budget for popularity, I triggered South Korea’s second IMF crisis. After my presidency ended in disgrace, Lee Seong-jun wakes up 30 years in the past. He discovers a corrupt, self-serving budget proposal advancing through the Ministry of Economy and Finance. Determined to save the country, he vows to block it at any cost—even if it means becoming hated. Using three decades of political cunning, media manipulation, and strategic insight, he resolves to become the ultimate guardian of the national treasury.
