An Eighty-Year-Old Silver Fox and His Young Husband Take on Hong Kong by Night

[Silly and absurd]

Movie star Shu Qi and his beloved spent their whole lives together and died peacefully of old age, only for Shu Qi's soul to transmigrate into the body of a Hong Kong thug from the last century.

He plans to start out as an extra, but the moment he arrives on set, muscle memory has him instinctively looking for the camera.

Then he meets the director's striking red, mixed-race eyes.

Oh, it's his old man.

The old man: "Wifey, sob sob sob!!!"

That night, the Hong Kong entertainment headlines read:

[Brilliant Director and Thug Have a Fierce On-Set Encounter, All to Uncover Real Skills Under the Covers!]

[Wild Game on Set! Vampire Director Gets a Taste for a Thug and Vows to Make Him a Star!]

[Rich Director Hunts for Thrills in a Dark Alley, Spots a Corpse and Turns Him into a Movie Star at First Sight]

Shu Qi: "..."

The old man, Ke Yutai, heir to an entertainment empire in the 22nd century, is still the heir to a top-tier wealthy family here.

At twenty, this dashing mixed-race director immediately spots the opportunities in Hong Kong's entertainment industry.

"I'm going to groom my wife into a movie star!"

Ke Yutai starts teaming up with Shu Qi, following his wife's lead and winning award after award, including the Golden, Rat, Ox, and Tiger Zodiac Awards. They take home so many that they lose count.

In the end, the old man faces another coming-out crisis, but this time Ke Yutai is fully prepared.

"I absolutely won't let my wife suffer again!"

That night, the Hong Kong entertainment headlines read:

Shu Qi: "..."

Hong Kong entertainment headlines live up to their reputation.

After Shu Qi becomes a movie star, Ke Yutai specially commissions a script for his wife, titled "An Eighty-Year-Old Handsome Man and His Twenty-Year-Old Young Husband Spend the Night in Hong Kong."

Shu Qi's brow twitches violently. "What does that even mean?"

Ke Yutai: "Wifey, when we reunited, it was your eightieth birthday, but I was only twenty, so..."

Ke Yutai: "Wifey, I'm sorry!!!"

Bonus scene:

Ke Yutai hugs Shu Qi and asks, "Wifey, do you remember my wedding vows?"

Shu Qi, looking at the script, answers distractedly, "For richer or poorer... until death do us part..."

Ke Yutai's expression suddenly turns solemn.

"But we're already dead, so our marriage doesn't count anymore."

Shu Qi finally looks him in the eye.

"Then..."

Ke Yutai drops to one knee.

"Then, handsome sir, may I court you once again?"
