The Mechanic's Secret Empire-2

About this drama

First, a note on the title: the listing calls it The Mechanic's Secret Empire-2, with a numeral suffix the copy itself never explains, so I'm reporting it exactly as listed. The premise is the full disguise fantasy compressed into one paragraph. A billion-dollar ice-cold female CEO, cornered by Wall Street tycoons forcing her into marriage, desperately hires a "bottom-tier mechanic" with a daughter as her contract husband. The villains humiliate him endlessly, and her own brother tramples him underfoot, and everyone thinks he's just a pathetic pawn waiting to be slaughtered. But he isn't, because he's the supreme commander who controls the world's lifelines and terrifies militaries across the globe, the "Night Sovereign." When the crazed enemies aim their guns at his wife and daughter, the copy shifts registers completely: the War God's fury is fully ignited, the mechanic sheds his disguise, makes one phone call to mobilize the world's three biggest financial conglomerates, and a nuclear-powered fleet sweeps across the heavens. The blurb even quotes him directly: "Touch my family? Pay with your lives!" It ends with the once-almighty enemies as prisoners, despairingly realizing that the ruler seated on the pure black throne is the very "worthless" man they looked down upon. Thirty episodes, and since the ending is given, the pleasure on offer is watching the disguise hold, and then watching it not hold.
