Warden of the Monster Prison

In an age of great upheaval, a handful of people and animals absorbed energy and underwent mutations. They gained extraordinary powers, but with little to restrain them, they gradually became a major threat to society. To protect ordinary people, the Federation established a prison specifically for them, arresting most of the empowered people and animals as criminals. But the good times did not last. Prison breaks became commonplace, and the guards were too weak to stop them. With casualties mounting, this prison became a place that struck fear into everyone’s hearts. To bring the prison under control, the Federation decided to recruit talent without regard to convention. They transferred Zhang Taotao from another prison and appointed her warden of the Monster Prison. No one could see how this baby-faced young woman could possibly be powerful. The guards even set up a betting pool in private, wagering how many days the new warden would last before dying on the job. But on her very first day, the young woman who wiped her mouth with a dog in the cafeteria shattered everyone’s preconceptions. Guard A, trembling, pinched himself and asked his superior, “Sir, am I seeing things? Is that the Hellhound, Number 779, in the warden’s hand?” “No, you’re seeing it right. I see it too.” The warden stood on Number 221, the Liquid Monster, then pulled Number 7, the Hell Envoy, into her arms and strode off, leaving behind the words, “Only the strong deserve beautiful people.” Guard A: “Sir, did I hear that wrong?” “No, I heard it too.” By the time they saw the warden pluck the feathers off Number 9 and sew herself a bed with them, neither man could say a word. After a long silence, Guard A finally asked the question that went to the heart of it: “Sir, is the warden badass or an idiot?” His superior did not answer. He hurried over to the warden and said, “Warden, the weather is cold. I made you a cup of ginger tea to warm you up. From now on, I’ll be counting on you.” Guard A: !!! * The female lead is the strongest * She’s chuuni and nasty * The setting is fictional, so please don’t relate it to the real world * The male lead is the Hell Envoy, but he doesn’t appear much Coming Soon Cyberpunk’s Top Director, now releasing The director He Lianlian transmigrated to a cyberpunk world. Making films in this world was incredibly easy. As long as your mental strength was sufficient, you could grind out a whole movie by yourself. To pay off her debts, He Lianlian resolutely returned to her old profession, only to discover that the film industry was now nearly devoid of quality. Ads were everywhere, formulas were all-pervasive, and productions were shoddily made. He Lianlian: “What are we waiting for? Let’s go! I’ll show them what quality looks like!” The melodrama The CEO’s Tormented Love: Woman, Don’t Run burst onto the scene, and for the first time, cyberpunk audiences discovered just how exciting television could be. Then came: The Mutant Hero, which defended the reputation of mutated people. The Chinese-style horror film The Seventh Night, which ignited fear in people’s hearts. Cultivators, which brought the gods of Huaxia back to the screen. Every production from He Lianlian was a classic. Her films were not only entertaining, but also prompted the public to reflect. The rebel army, made up of mutated people and partially augmented people, even regarded her as their spiritual leader. The powerful sensed a crisis and gathered to discuss how to get rid of He Lianlian. Consortium boss: “Stage an accident and assassinate her.” Pope: “Hire an assassin.” Pharmaceutical tycoon: “Poison her.” Before they could finish discussing it, a mysterious person barged into the meeting. A few minutes later, the screen at the awards ceremony was hacked. He Lianlian, standing onstage, heard the black-clad figure on the screen say: “Director He, I have a gift for you.” He slapped the heads of three bruised and battered bigwigs one by one, then asked her, “Which one would you like?” He Lianlian: “?” Do all you cyberpunk people give gifts like this? * The year is 2577. Consortiums control the economic lifeline, the Church harvests the people’s faith, and the rebel army has become the third-largest power. Before war brings about the apocalypse, ordinary people’s lives have grown dull. They long for a feast that will set their senses ablaze. What answers them is not a bomb, but a director: He Lianlian. From that day on, the numb masses see new hope. Love, legacy, and turning the tables: she seems to be forever inspiring ordinary people, whom the powerful look down on. The winds of reform rise and spread across the entire Federation with unstoppable speed. History takes a turn at this moment. In the hearts of countless ordinary people, He Lianlian gains a new name: the Morning Star. He Lianlian, showered with praise, scratches her head. Actually, at first, she just wanted to make some money as a director. * My take on cyberpunk, with lots of original worldbuilding * The entertainment industry is the main focus, with a side plot about reform * There is a male lead, but not much romance * More may be added at any time.
