What if Yi Sun-sin had not died at the Battle of Noryang? Although
Yi Sun-sin collapses after being struck by an enemy bullet at the battle, he survives after many twists and turns, finally bringing the seven-year Imjin War to an end.
However, King Seonjo feels pathological jealousy and extreme pressure toward Yi Sun-sin, who has emerged as a hero of the people after leading the war to victory. Ultimately, Seonjo colludes with key figures of the Western Faction to secretly arrest Yi Sun-sin, frame him as a traitor, and sentence him to death. The men in Yi Sun-sin’s family are executed or exiled, while all the women are taken away as government slaves, meeting a tragic fate.
In the end, Yi Sun-sin is secretly executed by dismemberment within the abandoned palace, and even his body is burned, completely annihilating him. Surprisingly, however, Yi Sun-sin unexpectedly returns to his youth, about thirty years prior.
From that day forward, Yi Sun-sin devised a grand plan to conquer Japan, the Jurchens, and China, while simultaneously stopping the Japanese invaders who had ravaged Joseon and massacred its people, and punishing the future King Seonjo who had annihilated him and his family. He began to systematically put the plan into action. Will Yi Sun-sin be able to succeed in the Northern Expedition following his Southern Expedition?

When I read that all his members have been killed and women taken as slaves meetings a tragic fate, my god I can’t even imagine the pain the MC must have gone through.
But even after all that pain his enemy (not main one, a side character type enemy) had no choice but to do it because of his/her circumstances, if he decides to spare them then the whole point of revenge is gone then.
Even in other manhwas or manga when the MC had gone through a very small version of this MC pain, that MC is ruthless to everyone and anyone but if this MC going through ×10 times more pain than anyone decides to play a nice guy and be like “Hmm……..this side villain destroyed my life but he/she didn’t had a choice, so I will save them this time”. If he decides to play this shit then I’m instantly dripping this shit.
Of course I haven’t read a single chapter yet so I’m merely imagining that the MC will be a pussy and then I’ll be dropping it. Who knows, it might be the one type of manga I’m looking for but if this is what I think it is then…………..(sigh)…………. I’ll probably be dropping this then..
