Becoming a Grade 7 civil servant without ever sitting for the grueling entrance exams sounds like an impossible dream, but one young man discovers the ultimate shortcut. During his mandatory military service, he receives a direct recruitment recommendation from the National Intelligence Service, bypassing the traditional path entirely. However, this seemingly perfect arrangement quickly lands him in an unexpected and highly volatile posting: stationed at a residence in Dandong, China—widely regarded as a global powder keg—his primary assignment is to monitor activity along the Yalu River Bridge. What begins as a quiet surveillance job paying five million won for night shifts rapidly spirals out of control. The protagonist soon finds himself entangled in a web of major international incidents involving multiple countries, all unexpectedly converging on his position. Despite his earnest desire to earn money with minimal effort, circumstances continually drag him into high-stakes geopolitical conflicts. Yet, against all odds and through sheer luck, these dangerous missions somehow reach successful conclusions, turning his lazy aspirations into a chaotic yet surprisingly triumphant intelligence career.
