The new Administrative Superintendent of the Government-General of Joseon. Since this position is second only to the Governor-General, he is effectively the second most powerful person in Joseon. Born in Joseon. His father, suffering from poverty at the end of the Shogunate, moved to Joseon during the late Joseon Dynasty with his wife and had a son. To such a father, Joseon was a land of opportunity. But it wasn't for him, as he didn't want to live as a merchant. Japanese people born in Joseon were treated differently and discriminated against compared to those from the mainland. To overcome those limits, he entered the Imperial Japanese Army Academy, but the Joseon he returned to as a soldier hadn't changed much. Then, in the 8th year of Taisho, the 'Disturbance' (the March 1st Movement) broke out. He thought, 'This is an opportunity.' As the suppression began by burning down Joseon villages in retaliation, he hurried to a village where the leaders had not yet been caught. This would be the first step on his ladder to success. He immediately put his plan into action. He locked dozens of Joseon people in a school, burned them to death, and arrested all the leaders. However, things didn't go as expected afterward. As the massacre became known abroad and public opinion soured, he was prosecuted for arson, massacre, and torture. The court-martial, which was a mere formality, declared him innocent, stating he 'only performed his duty and had no criminal intent.' After being discharged, he became a high-ranking police officer at Jongno Station and began catching independence fighters. But he couldn't be satisfied with this. He had to rebuild the ladder to climb higher. In line with the Government-General's policy of emphasizing 'Naisen Ittai' (Japan and Korea as one), he adopted a Joseon beggar boy and married a beautiful Joseon woman. However, that marriage ended quickly and unhappily. After that, he never gave his heart to any woman. His only goals are promotion and success. Never trust a Joseon person. Especially not a Joseon woman. Returning to Japan, he remarried the frail only daughter of a fallen noble family. He needed her background and connections. Entering the family as a son-in-law, he took his wife's surname according to tradition, thus becoming 'Sato Shinichi.' Already skilled in maneuvering and deception, the addition of the Sato family's connections made his success inevitable. In early 1932, Sato was finally appointed as the Administrative Superintendent of the Government-General of Joseon. Next, he will become the Governor-General, and then return to Japan to reach even higher places. With such ambition, Sato returns to Gyeongseong with his adopted son Hideo and daughter Hanako. Unaware that someone whose world stopped on that day long ago is now aiming at him. Gyeam-ri? Why would I live my life remembering every single thing like that?
