Synopsis
Prosecutor Kang Pildu has a reputation for being cold and merciless. Then his mother dies, and he learns that the Seonhwa Group, the powerful conglomerate controlled by his father and older brothers, was involved in her death. Instead of protecting his family's name, Pildu begins a relentless campaign to bring the group down. His legal authority and willingness to go further than most people make his vendetta as unsettling as the people he is determined to destroy.
The central revenge here is not against a nameless criminal organization but the protagonist's own family. Pildu is no innocent caught in their machinery: he is a prosecutor who knows how power operates and is perfectly capable of frightening the people around him. The result is a tense urban noir about blood ties, corporate influence and the narrow distance between justice and personal retaliation.

What it feels like
Pildu's unsettling composure is the story's defining hook. His mother's death gives his campaign a recognizable motive, but his temperament refuses to make revenge look clean or morally comfortable. This is contemporary family-and-corporate noir, not a fantasy power-progression story.
