Synopsis
Jeong has always enjoyed killing, but his grandfather kept that impulse in check. When the old man is murdered, Jeong becomes the feared Scythe Demon and hunts the person responsible. Captured and facing execution, he discovers that he is the exact double of Mok Gyeongwoon, the third son of the Mok Sword Manor. He kills Gyeongwoon, takes his place and enters the martial world under a stolen name. A man with little respect for its rules now has to master its techniques and survive the people who expect a noble heir, not a notorious killer.
The central deception is unusually vicious: the supposed young noble is the murderer who replaced him. Jeong's unnerving composure and appetite for violence turn familiar murim contests, alliances and training into tests of how long his disguise can survive. Revenge gives him a direction, but identity theft gives him access to people and power that would otherwise be closed to him. This is a dark martial-arts story about a lead who is dangerous before he becomes skilled.

What it feels like
The hook is the false Mok Gyeongwoon: Jeong does not inherit a noble's life by accident; he murders the original and chooses to become him. Distinguish his cold, calculated expression and scarlet-eyed menace from the world of strict martial hierarchies he enters. Keep the imagery rooted in dark murim, not modern urban fantasy.
