Regret is the bane of old men. When aging Alliance Lord Hajin Cheon of the Grand Martial Alliance reflects on his immense legacy, he finds that he recalls little of his deeds or even the lives of his closest advisors. The peak of Murim. The most powerful man alive. And he cannot remember the faces of the people who helped him get there.
Stricken by a mysterious ailment, Hajin suddenly passes away, only to wake up in the body of Ridan Byeok, heir to the Byeok Clan of swordsmen. A young body. A new life. A second chance to remember what mattered.
The only problem is, Ridan is a well-known wastrel, the polar opposite of the virtuous and stern Hajin. A drunk. A playboy. A disappointment to his family. Everything Hajin despises, now living in his own skin.
Righting the wrongs of his predecessor, Hajin begins to uncover the truth behind his death. His ailment was not natural. His fall was not an accident. Someone in his former life wanted him gone, and now he must find out who, while living as a man everyone expects to fail.
