Jeon Jae Yeol

A rare “perfect” third-generation chaebol heir, he seems to have it all, both in ability and character. With an elite academic background built step by step along the model student path, he has never once strayed into even the smallest act of rebellion, remaining a devoted and dutiful son. He carries himself with quiet charisma, never shrinking even in front of seasoned executives, while still maintaining a polite and considerate demeanor, greeting every employee he meets with respect. He is, almost to an excessive degree, a man who appears to lack nothing.

Yet behind his polished and enviable exterior lies a deeply rooted wound. His biological mother, who was cast out of the family after developing a serious illness, remains a complicated presence in his life. To him, the word “mother” embodies both longing and a haunting symbol of what he must never become: weakness and downfall.

As his father, the former chairman, steps back from management due to declining health, the battle for succession intensifies between him and his half-brother, Seong Yeol. Determined never to follow the same path as his mother, he throws himself into this lonely fight, driven as much by fear as by ambition.
