From the 1st episode, looks like a typical martial art + regression Manhwa, nothing new.
Although, interesting that they used Chinese names rather than Korean names this time/for this one. For example, the MC is called Nangong Taishao.
If anyone need some translation/meaning of the name:
Nangong 南宫 (As stated by the name tag/plaque on their house/residence, 南宫世家 (Nangong Family)) - The last name means Southern Palace, if translated literally from Chinese.
The first name, Taishao, the OG Chinese was not given, only the Pinyin, but we can infer that it can mean one of the following (or many others since this is inferring from the Pinyin but there are tons of other words/characters with the same sound):
Taishao 太少 = Too little / Very little / Too few / Very few, etc.
Taishao 太少 = Too young (Shao 少 could also mean “Young master” in a sense if it was a nickname given by a person with lower status, etc. rather than the actual name)
Taishao 泰少 - Tai 泰 = Grand, peaceful, stable, etc., Shao 少 = Young, few, little, etc.
(The other Tai 太 above means “Too”, “Very”, “Extreme”, “Utmost”, “Overly”, “Excessive”, “Highest”, etc.)
(It is also the Tai 太 that is famously associated with (Tai Ji 太极), you know, the famous diagram of the 8 Trigrams & Ying + Yang in Daoism/Taoism ☯︎☯️ - That is also the symbol on the South Korean flag)
The Tai 泰 below is famously associated with Mount Tai 泰山 (Tai Shan), which famous for its symbol in strength and majesty. Mount Tai also represents imperial legitimacy back in the ancient times, along with the connection between the Heaven & Earth, Unshaken Steadfastness, Protection, etc. (In terms of Imperial Legitimacy, it represents the “Mandate of Heaven” since it is one of / the leader of China’s Five Sacred Mountains.)

Nangong Taishao has hit rock bottom. Penniless, homeless, and labeled as the reject of the Nangong clan, he awaits a pitiful death. That is, until some trick of fate drops him right back in his childhood. But our protagonist knows better than to repeat pointless training against his far more talented brothers. No, he has a better idea: run away from the Nangong clan and live a peaceful life! All he has to do is make sure everyone sees him as the loser he is. Shouldn't be too difficult... right?
