Name: The Underworld: My Dongguan Girlfriend
Author: Prefect of Shuntian

Synopsis

At the turn of the millennium, I headed south to Dongguan with just 800 yuan in my pocket.

Someone stole my wallet on the train, and I staggered into town after going hungry for three meals.

I planned to keep my head down and work on an assembly line, but on my very first day, the team leader told me to take off my pants.

I beat him up. Then I beat up the fourteen guys who came after me with machetes. Then I took on the whole street.

The female owner of a nightclub handed me a gun and a stack of cash and told me to choose one.

I chose the money.

She said that from then on, I belonged to her.

Everyone in Dongguan thought I had some big shot behind me whom nobody dared to cross.

The truth was, I had no one behind me at all.

But it didn't matter. I didn't belong to the underworld, because the underworld belonged to me.
