The Bride He Caged
About this drama
The source for this entry is a synopsis of 1,209 characters in eleven sentences, the second-longest source of the batch, and three transcription facts come first: the platform joins clauses with one em dash, transcribed here as a comma; the two curly apostrophes, in Serena's and in Roman's, are transcribed straight; and the accented fiancée keeps its accent. What the source states: a bloody shootout at the Starlight Restaurant changes Serena's life forever; caught in the crossfire of the underworld's most lethal tyrant, Roman, she expects to be silenced, but instead he kidnaps her, locking the innocent waitress away in his impenetrable obsidian fortress and telling her that her life belongs to him now, every breath she takes his; she desperately fights for her freedom, but his dark, possessive obsession only grows; to the world he is a cold-blooded monster, to her he becomes an impenetrable shield; when rival gangs kidnap her to torture him and a vicious fake fiancée tries to destroy her, he burns the entire city to the ground, the question of which hand touched her the last thing his enemies hear before he pulls the trigger; to keep her safe from the Mafia Council, he pushes her away, silently going to war for five bloody months; and when he returns, dripping in blood to save her from an abusive ex, the ultimate truth is revealed: the ruthless king did not just slaughter his enemies, he secretly transferred his entire billion-dollar underground empire to her name, and the devil himself bows down, offering her his crown, his life, and a happily-ever-after she never saw coming. The premise is one caged waitress and one tyrant who burns cities for her, and the source states the ending in full, the empire signed over, the crown offered, the ever-after begun. Three catalog facts frame the entry. The run is forty episodes, one of four entries at that length. The registry column lists 6 against the API's forty, part of this batch's systematic split between free counts and full counts, disclosed with the API figure used here. The counter reads 1,397 views, eighth of twenty, in the upper half, the highest seat a fully sourced entry holds in this batch. The byline is Capo Shorts, the last of its two entries in this batch, and the platform marks the series completed.
