[1990s] [Hong Kong Showbiz Battlefield] [TVB Reporter vs. Underworld Boss] [Forced Love] [Powerful in Both the Underworld and the Legitimate World]
"When they dumped my body in the wilderness, I finally understood this wasn't just a novel's world."
A once-famous screenwriter falls into the world she created, becoming Jing Lin, a doomed reporter who was cannon fodder in the original story. She tears up the original script: who says a nobody can't climb to the top by stepping on the underworld and turn Hong Kong's entertainment scene upside down in the 1990s?
With the underworld's countdown to dumping her body underway, her Cantonese still halting, she relies on her foreknowledge of the script to make it into TVB's training program.
From TVB trainee to Emperor Entertainment's rising star.
Three years later, she holds a Hong Kong Film Award in one hand and a Hong Kong media headline in the other: "Queen of Hearts Jing Lin's Secret Spouse Revealed: It's Lu Chenzhou, the Underworld Boss Who Has Rocked Half of Hong Kong's Showbiz Circle."
With camera flashes and gunfire all around her, she climbs to the throne of Best Actress by playing the underworld's power games. But at the celebratory banquet, a man pins her against the dressing-room wall. "Used me and now you think you can run?"
Lu Chenzhou grips her neck and sneers. "Time to pay your debt, Mrs. Lu."

According to reports, Lu Chenzhou, the young heir to the Lu family's multibillion-dollar business empire, comes from a prestigious family with deep ties to both politics and business. He is about to return home and take over the family business.
On the surface, the Lu family's second son is a playboy who treats young models like toys. Behind the scenes, he is an underworld boss feared throughout Hong Kong's showbiz circle.
Steady, calculating, and ruthless, he gave his entire fortune to a woman before he died, just to keep her alive.
But no one could have guessed that the person the young prince of Hong Kong's showbiz scene risked everything to protect was a fishing-village girl who couldn't even speak proper Cantonese.
