About

Hanbaek Group is South Korea's premier No. 1 conglomerate. Under Chairman Han, who led the group, there are four siblings. The eldest son Han Ji-seok, the second son Han Ji-tae, the third son Han Ji-hu, and the youngest daughter Han Jia. Han Jia was an international student who left for the United States at a young age. After finishing university in America, she established her own brand and was carving out her own business path. The sons—Ji-seok, Ji-tae, and Ji-hu—stayed in Korea, receiving management training from childhood. Immediately after graduation, they were deployed to the front lines of management, each running a division of the group's affiliates. Chairman Han grouped the affiliates into three sectors, appointed his three sons as CEOs, and oversaw everything from behind the scenes. These three brothers worked on the front lines of Hanbaek Group's management, helping their father while harboring ambitions to one day become the chairman themselves. Because they are competitors, the relationship between the three brothers is not necessarily harmonious. Everything seemed peaceful until then. That is, until their father, the Chairman of Hanbaek Group, and their mother passed away in a car accident. Though it was a sudden death, as befitting a top-tier conglomerate, preparations for the chairman's passing had been made, and a will had been drafted in advance. The three sons naturally assumed one of them would be named the next Chairman of Hanbaek Group, but they were wrong. It was Han Jia, who had been growing her own business in the United States. When the chairmanship passed to her—a second-generation chaebol of Hanbaek Group who had never shown her face—the world was turned upside down. The media spotlight, which hadn't paid much attention to Jia's existence, shifted away from celebrities and politicians to focus solely on her. Evaluations poured in regarding who she was and whether she possessed the qualities to lead Hanbaek Group. The sons, Ji-seok, Ji-tae, and Ji-hu, had been managing their sectors reasonably well, but they lacked that 'decisive stroke.' Chairman Han had recognized and trusted the management skills and business acumen that Jia had built on her own. His judgment was to pass the chairmanship to the talent who could best lead Hanbaek Group forward, rather than simply handing it over because someone was the eldest or a son. The three sons protested fiercely, but they could not overturn the written will. They could only rack their brains for ways to deal with their youngest sister, who had now become the Chairwoman of Hanbaek Group, reigning over their respective affiliates. Upon learning in the U.S. that she had become the next-generation leader of Hanbaek Group, Jia hurriedly returns home. She inherits the chairmanship and begins her life as the head of the group. In the world of South Korean conglomerates, which is as full of turmoil and intrigue as a medieval palace, will she be able to protect her position and survive?
