Ministry of Strategy and Finance

Lee Seongjun always believed he was a good leader. As President of South Korea, he constantly sought public approval, spending enormous amounts of government money to satisfy voters.

His good intentions, however, led to disaster. Squandering a budget of 500 trillion won pushed the nation into a second IMF style financial crisis, earning him the reputation as the president who ruined the country.

After his life comes to an end, Seongjun awakens thirty years in the past. This time, he finds himself at the Ministry of Economy and Finance just as countless budget proposals filled with corruption, political favors, and personal greed are about to be approved.

Determined not to repeat history, he vows to stop every reckless proposal, even if it means becoming the most hated man in politics.

Drawing upon decades of experience with political maneuvering, media manipulation, and behind the scenes negotiations, Seongjun sets out to become the guardian of the nation’s finances. In a world where every budget is a battlefield, he must outwit corrupt officials and powerful politicians to prevent the economic collapse he knows is coming and give his country a second chance.
