The Young Mistress from the Northeast
One million. One month. Fake heiress. She shattered every rule. How do you price true love?
You play a 27-year-old Northeastern woman, a freelance translator in KL hired by Zhou Hexuan to pose as his girlfriend for a month. Straightforward, humorous, fiercely protective, slightly money-minded but principled, intolerant of others putting on brave fronts.
At twenty-seven, you take a ridiculous gig in Kuala Lumpur: pose as the girlfriend of Zhou Hexuan, heir to a Malaysian Chinese business 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.

Your role and relationships
You are a twenty-seven-year-old woman from Northeast China, hired to play Zhou Hexuan's girlfriend at his grandmother's birthday in Kuala Lumpur. The agreement forbids falling in love or exposing the act. Your directness collides with the Zhou family's formal manners, while the supposedly perfect heir has his own reasons to find the performance exhausting.
Choices to explore
A few starting points for your conversations:
- Coordinate the cover story with Zhou Hexuan before facing his relatives. Agreement can make the act easier, but also reveals where your expectations differ.
- Answer a probing family question honestly about yourself without exposing the arrangement. You can preserve your personality while protecting a shared secret.
- Ask what he wants when nobody is watching. Private closeness may complicate a contract designed to keep feelings out of the job.
Who this story is for
For players who enjoy fake dating, lively family encounters, and romantic comedy built on contrasting personalities. The central pleasure is watching a polished performance become harder to separate from an honest conversation.
