The Genius Wants an Ordinary Life
Jin Hyeok Son has spent his entire life climbing a mountain he never wanted to summit. To the rest of the world, he is the ultimate success story—a cold, brilliant corporate executive with the Midas touch. But inside, he is still that same broken boy who lost everything the day his parents died. Wealth and power are hollow when there is no one to come home to, and for Jin Hyeok, the dream was never to rule the world. It was simply to have a family.
Destiny gives him a second chance in the most unexpected way. Following a life-altering accident, Jin Hyeok wakes up to find the cold glass of his high-rise office replaced by the warmth of his childhood bedroom. He is nine years old again, his parents are alive and laughing in the next room, and the future is a blank slate. He has been handed a miracle: the opportunity to prevent the tragedy that defined his first life and finally secure the quiet, ordinary existence he has always craved.
But can a man with the strategic mind of a genius and decades of corporate experience truly blend in as a normal child? Between navigating the playground, protecting his family from the shadows, and trying to keep his incredible talents under wraps, Jin Hyeok realizes that living an ordinary life is going to be the most extraordinary challenge of his life. Join him on an emotional, high-stakes journey of redemption, where the greatest victory isn't winning it all, but keeping what you already have.
