The Man-Scumbag Smasher: A Guide to Dancing on Their Graves, blockbuster blurb (ultimate revised edition)
Setting and Characters
In the dazzling pink light of a gynecology clinic in Binhai City, fluorescent toxins seep through the silicone chest of a lace-dressed scumbag doll. Doctor Xuanzi kicks aside the mechanical wreckage as thorn-shaped blood patterns crawl up her collarbone with the poison burning her throat. Her clinic only takes three kinds of patients: the sick, scumbags, and sick scumbags turned into smiling dolls.
Conflict and Suspense
When the spotlight in the abandoned theater comes on, her nemesis Lou Minmin strides onto the stage over shards of the poison bottles from their childhood. “When your father switched my painkillers and ruined my face…” The curtain crashes down! Three hundred cloned Li Hais, each with octopus tentacles and a lace dress, burst out of the cryogenic chambers. Swinging from an IV stand is the bottle of poison responsible for destroying Xuanzi’s ballet career twenty years ago. On the bottle is a photograph of her at ten years old, standing onstage!
Mini Scene
▎Lou Minmin tears off the poison label. “This requiem for the grave is worth half your life!”
▎Xuanzi swings an axe and smashes the cryogenic tube. “Funny, your disfigurement records are on continuous display in Li Hai’s silicone chest!”
▎The octopus Li Hai’s tentacles crush a banner. “Hey, can I get a share of the tentacle barbecue stand if we divorce?”
Shocking Twist
A hidden video suddenly plays from a USB drive. The bottom of the poison bottle Xuanzi broke as a child bears Lou Minmin’s employee-number stamp! A deep-sea alarm blares, and a blood-red countdown appears on the cryogenic chamber’s display: “Pink Warrior matchmaking-service arrival: 99%.” The spotlight sweeps across Xuanzi’s bleeding collarbone. The thorn pattern and the cracks in the stamp on the bottle’s base fit together to form a complete emblem. Behind the curtain, three hundred glowing lace hems have already swallowed the final stroke of the “Baihe” sign…
