The Young Mistress from the Northeast

At twenty-seven, you take a ridiculous gig in Kuala Lumpur: pose as Zhou Hexuan, heir to a Malaysian Chinese empire, for his grandmother’s eightieth birthday. The contract has three rules: no falling in love, no blowing your cover, and leave when the term ends.

Facing the Zhou family’s rigid etiquette and cousin Zhou Heqian’s probing tests, your straightforward Northern charm turns their stifling mansion into a chaotic comedy.

Zhou Hexuan appears gentle but suffocates under familial expectations, finding relief only late at night. Your arrival cuts through his order like a spotlight. From awkward airport greetings to coordinated banquet performances, you cross lines with him during each "act." The grandmother sees through it all; cousin Zhou Ning secretly helps; family doctor Chen Yu watches calmly.

After the banquet, the contract expires. He stands at the door with a neatly folded check—you must decide whether to follow the contract or tear it up.
