The story of this book is a fiction story. It is wrapped up with a story of a famous lawyer who has stopped his full day to day working hours, to become a monk. This former lawyer was a very successful lawyer in his field. He can have everything he wants in his life. However, he does not have a happy family and a happy life because of the pressure of works and of the high profile life that he had lived. Suddenly, he was collapsed because of severe illness.
