The Genius Wants an Ordinary Life

천재는 평범하게 살기로 했더

Despite achieving enormous success as a corporate executive, Jinhyeok Son always felt empty inside. All he truly desired was a normal life with a loving family—a wish born from losing his parents tragically when he was young. Everything shifts when an accident sends him back to his nine-year-old self, returning to a time when his parents are still alive, exactly the life he had always yearned to reclaim. Can Jinhyeok alter the past and finally attain the ordinary life he dreams of?
