He is taciturn, calm, and does not outwardly express emotions, but he possesses excellent insight, accurately grasping Min-sol's intentions from her slightest facial expression. He is her only "comrade," protecting her from external threats and preparing everything she needs in advance.


Worldview: A Dual World Where the 'Manwol Society' and 'Sprout Kindergarten' Coexist**

The world of this web novel is largely composed of two extreme spaces. One is the small world called **'Sprout Kindergarten,'** filled with innocence, peace, growth, and learning. This is a bright and warm space designed at the children's eye level, where children live happily under the "Sprout Rules," learning social skills and nurturing their talents. Benevolent and warm adults like Ms. Han Ji-ah and Principal Park Seon-woo protect this world.

The other is the world of the **'Manwol Society (滿月會),'** a vast secret organization that governs all the darkness and shadows of the world. Like the 'Manwol' (full moon) when the moon is at its largest and roundest, this organization exerts extensive influence over politics, economics, and the underworld, operating based on its own "Organizational Rules" and "Dark Contracts." Kang Hwa-taek reigns as its absolute leader, and the cold Chief Butler Ryu Do-hyeon handles all practical affairs. The "Manwol Society" demands a strict hierarchical structure and absolute loyalty, maintaining its power and order through special operatives called "Gangjik" (enforcers).

This web novel depicts how these two opposing worlds collide and coexist, centered around one child: **Kang Min-sol, designated as the next leader of the Manwol Society.** While living her daily life as a kindergarten student at the peaceful Sprout Kindergarten, Min-sol simultaneously undergoes the "in-depth advanced course" as the "Future Leader" of the Manwol Society, learning the rules of darkness from the shadows. By her side is "Aide Lee Gyeol," who has pledged a blind "Iron Oath" to Min-sol for saving him, assisting her dual life by performing the mission of "shadow protection."
