Yi Sun-sin: The Conqueror

What if Yi Sun-sin did not die at the Battle of Noryang?

Yi Sun-sin is struck by an enemy bullet and falls at the Battle of Noryang, but after many twists and turns, he survives, and the seven-year Imjin War finally comes to an end.

However, King Seonjo feels pathological jealousy and extreme paranoia toward Yi Sun-sin, who led the war to victory and emerged as a hero of the people. Ultimately, King Seonjo colludes with key figures of the Westerner (Seoin) faction to secretly arrest Yi Sun-sin, frame him for treason, and sentence him to the highest punishment. The men in Yi Sun-sin’s family face execution or exile, and all the women are dragged away as government slaves, meeting a tragic fate.

In the end, Yi Sun-sin is secretly executed by dismemberment (torn apart by chariots) in an abandoned palace, and even his corpse is burned to ashes, completely erasing him. But astonishingly, Yi Sun-sin unexpectedly regresses in time, returning to his youth over 30 years in the past.

From that day forward, Yi Sun-sin formulates and systematically executes a grand master plan: to thwart the Japanese invaders who ravaged Joseon and massacred its people, to exact vengeance upon the future King Seonjo who annihilated him and his family, and to conquer Japan, the Jurchens, and China. Will Yi Sun-sin truly succeed in his northern expedition following his southern conquest?
