Crawling My Way to the Top!

Seongguk had it all—striking good looks, a fortune most could only dream of, and a career that placed him at the pinnacle of success. But fate, as it often does, had other plans. In an instant, his charmed life ends, and he awakens not in the afterlife, but in a newborn’s crib, blinking up at a ceiling that’s seen better days. His new parents are loving, gentle souls, but their pockets are painfully empty. For a man who once commanded boardrooms and signed billion-won deals, the indignity of poverty is a greater shock than death itself. Yet Seongguk is no ordinary infant. Behind those cherubic eyes and chubby cheeks lies the razor-sharp mind of a seasoned tycoon. He quickly realizes that this second chance isn’t about choosing between family and wealth—he intends to have both. With his infantile charm as a disarming weapon and his cutthroat business instincts fully intact, he sets his sights on one goal: dragging his struggling household from the brink of destitution to the heights of affluence. From negotiating with oblivious adults to spotting market gaps from his high chair, Seongguk is determined to rewrite his family’s destiny. But can a baby outsmart the very world that once bowed to him? As he navigates diapers and deals alike, the question isn’t whether he can s쳮d, but whether his ruthless ambition will clash with the simple, heartfelt love he’s finally found. In this life, he’s playing for keeps—and he’s not about to let a little thing like infancy stop him from climbing straight to the top.
