After confronting President Jang Il-Jun about his illegal ties to Kang Sang-Un—vice president of the Daejin Group, Prime Minister Park Dong-ho found himself framed for corruption. With his arrest only hours away, he couldn’t let it happen. After careful preparation, he drugged the president, sending him to the hospital in critical condition, the blame falling on Jang’s weak heart. While the president lay in a coma, Park Dong-ho was appointed acting president under the constitution.

Now, with power in his hands, his plan was clear: purge the government of corrupt politicians, break Daejin Group’s hold, and sweep away everyone tied to corruption like a whirlwind.

Today, he sat in the Blue House, in the president’s office, deep in thought. He knew how deeply corruption was rooted in the government; it would be impossible to fight it alone. He needed allies. Yet the opposition party was out of the question, and even his own party was half-rotten. If he tore out the corruption too abruptly, the entire government would freeze or even collapse. Before carving away the decay, he needed something new to replace it with. Before throwing politicians out, he needed to find new ones.
