A Street Orphan Becomes the World’s Richest Heir
At twenty-six, Kang Jin-woo knows only the brutal existence of a street orphan. Governed by his unbreakable code of honor, he protects the vulnerable and survives through his wits and fierce fighting skills. When he intervenes to save a young woman from assault, he has no idea she belongs to one of the world's wealthiest families, or that his life is about to transform completely.
Days later, while fighting for his life in a back alley, a mysterious man appears. The stranger reveals shocking news: Jin-woo's father is dead, but his grandfather, the formidable patriarch of Cheonha Group, a global empire controlling entire industries, has been searching for him for decades. Jin-woo is the true heir, believed lost as an infant.
Thrust into the role of CEO at one of the world's most powerful companies, Jin-woo must navigate a glittering world of wealth and influence that proves more treacherous than any street corner. He struggles to master corporate politics, billion-dollar negotiations, and the complexities of a family he never knew existed.
Yet the boardroom battles pale compared to the threat against his life. Hidden enemies within the family want him eliminated. His aunt, who wields significant power in the company, views him as a threat to everything she's built. What Jin-woo doesn't realize is that she orchestrated his disappearance as an infant, hiring someone to murder him. When the plot failed and he was lost instead of killed, she assumed him dead, until now. She'll stop at nothing to finish what she started.
As Jin-woo fights to prove worthy of his birthright, uncover the truth about his past, and protect those he's come to care for, including the woman he rescued, who may hold the key to his heart, he discovers that the survival skills he honed on the streets might be his only defense against the vipers in his own family.
