Hong Kong Films: The Rise of a Crime Boss, From the Start, I Steal Maggie Cheung

Reborn in the Hong Kong film-and-TV world of the 1980s, Ding Li discovers he's a deadbeat in debt, with Kwun's men blocking his door to demand payment.

At the critical moment, he activates a System: all he has to do is steal opportunities from women destined for greatness to earn rewards!

Ding! He steals a chance to meet future movie queen Maggie Cheung and receives master-level fighting skills and a Loyalty Contract!

Ding Li turns around and crushes the debt collectors. Using memories from his previous life, he not only pays off his gambling debts but also builds a business empire spanning both the legitimate and criminal worlds.

Every movie he makes is a box-office legend. Every actress he promotes is peerlessly beautiful.

Rosamund Kwan, Joey Wong, Chingmy Yau... every goddess in Hong Kong joins his ranks. Hung Hing, East Star, Wo Shing Wo... every major gang trembles at his name.

Ding Li: "I'm a businessman, but if you don't want to talk business, my army of loyal fighters will teach you how to behave."

This is the story of a commoner who rises from Kowloon Walled City, step by step becoming a world-class tycoon and overlord.
