1980s Hong Kong: The Young Master Wants the Prison Queen to Keep Him in Line

[A female assassin quits the underworld, only to wake up in an Eighties prison.

Her cannon-fodder script is pure misery: prison, abuse, domestic violence, and an early grave.]

Zhang Mengmeng: A brainless script? I'm tearing it up.

So she beats the prison's notorious Thirteenth Sister into submission, making her a follower, while her abusive ex trembles and begs her to let him go.

She plans to focus on making money and building her career in Hong Kong.

But Chen Jinghui, Hong Kong's most powerful entertainment heir, is cold and refined on the outside, yet harbors an abnormal obsession with her deep down.

He schemes to draw her in, supporting her wholeheartedly as a business partner in public while privately thinking of nothing but starting a romance.

He takes every insult, setback, and rejection in stride, even enjoying it.

At a press conference, he gets down on one knee and proposes in front of everyone: "Marry me, and you can do whatever you want with Hong Kong."

Zhang Mengmeng: Not a chance.

The whole crowd waits for the big shot to lose it.

Instead, the man grips the hem of her clothes, humble yet stubborn:

"It's fine if you won't marry me. You can bully me all you want, just don't run away."

[A domineering, ruthless female crime boss x a powerful, obsessive man who only wants to be mistreated by her]
