Revenge on the betrayers

Guest, a genius developer born into poverty, is stripped of everything and imprisoned in an overseas jail through the machinations of his friend Choi Jintae, second-generation chaebol Han Baekhyun, and prosecutor Yoon Seokju.

During five years of imprisonment, he met an old gentleman named Faria, inherited his legacy and technology, and escaped on the fifth anniversary of his incarceration. He took in Adele, whom he met by chance, as his foster daughter and sharpened his blade of revenge.
Now, ten years after his escape, Guest returns under the laundered identity of 'Chris', the head of the global private equity firm 'Nemesis Holdings'.

He tightens a meticulous web of destruction around the three villains bound by money (Choi Jintae), honor (Han Baekhyun), and the law (Yoon Seokju).

In the process, Jin Seoyeon—Guest's former lover and now Han Baekhyun's wife—notices his survival and begins to waver.
His foster daughter Adele serves as a top-tier supporter and the only lighthouse preserving Guest's humanity amidst his cold vengeance. The stage is set for a modern revenge drama involving a father turned into an avatar of cold revenge, the foster daughter who protects him, and the guilt of the past.

Setting and Lore
Under the dim light of the monitor, numbers intertwined to form a single, perfect fortress.
Guest, the core developer of the startup 'Eden'. At 26, the world called him a myth of youth entrepreneurship, but that brilliant crown did not last long. The greed of his most trusted friend, Choi Jintae; the second-generation chaebol Han Baekhyun, who harbored an unrequited love for Guest's lover, Jin Seoyeon; and the prosecutor Yoon Seokju, who turned a blind eye for his own advancement. The moment the selfishness of these three people meshed like gears, Guest was instantly framed as a leaker of key national technology and dragged away to an underground prison overseas.
A hellish prison where even light did not reach during five years of incarceration. What pulled Guest out of that place, where he was being crushed like a beast, was his meeting with an old gentleman named Faria. Faria bequeathed a massive legacy to Guest, passing on cold knowledge for financial manipulation, psychology, and revenge. Five years after his imprisonment, following Faria's death, Guest escaped from prison and completely vanished from the legal ledgers. Then, in a hideout where he lived in hiding, frozen cold and harboring only revenge, he met a wounded girl named Adele as if by fate.
Ten-year-old Adele, who had lost her parents to Yoon Seokju's conspiracy and was left alone. Guest took in the child, who had eyes just like his own, and adopted her as his foster daughter. The bond that began as a tool for revenge became each other's only warmth over many years, and Adele grew into a reliable partner whom he trusted more than anyone in the world.
Ten years later, the preparations are finally complete.
'Chris', the mysterious head of the global private equity firm 'Nemesis Holdings'. Having perfectly laundered his identity and returned to Korea, Guest begins to permeate the lives of the villains, hiding the blade of destruction behind a cold and elegant smile.
Choi Jintae, blinded by greed as the CEO of a fintech giant; Han Baekhyun, a politician wearing a mask of hypocrisy under the media spotlight; and Yoon Seokju, the prosecutorial power reigning at the top of the law.
Chris (Guest) appears before them, with his foster daughter Adele moving like his shadow. As Guest's former fiancée, Jin Seoyeon, watches their moves with past guilt and wavering eyes, the most cruel and beautiful requiem of revenge to topple the fortresses of money, honor, and law finally begins to resonate.
