Synopsis

In the turbulent city of Dongguan, all I wanted was to run a small business, help my brothers make money, and enjoy a peaceful life with the occasional bit of financial support from a woman.

But fate refused to let me keep a low profile. Factory girls, bosses’ wives, rich older women, and underworld big sisters all barged into my life, dragging me into deeper and deeper schemes.

I started out at a small factory and worked my way through the nightlife. I went from being a young nobody to a ruthless player every faction wanted on its side.

With brains, guts, and a stubborn streak, I climbed my way up in Dongguan, a city awash in desire.

Some wanted to crush me, some wanted to use me, and some were willing to protect me.

But as underworld currents closed in and truth became tangled with self-interest, I realized that living off a woman was never as easy as it sounded.
