Title: "Little Lionheart" Synopsis: Feared by all and loved by none, mafia boss Li Zhenhua ruled the city's underworld with an iron fist. But everything changes when his 5-year-old son, Li Rui, suddenly enters his life-wide-eyed, full of questions, and clutching a stuffed lion he calls Xiao Shi (小狮, "Little Lion"). Zhenhua has no idea how to be a father. He knows how to silence enemies, not nightmares. How to handle guns, not tie shoelaces. But Rui doesn't care about his father's crimes-he just wants bedtime stories, sweet buns, and cuddles. As danger brews on the horizon, Zhenhua must protect his son not just from enemies, but from the darkness inside his own heart. And maybe... just maybe, the little boy will teach the cold-blooded mafia king how to love again. --- Scene Snippet - Father and Son Moment: Li Rui: "Bàba, why do you always wear black?" Li Zhenhua (frowning slightly): "Because it hides the mess." Li Rui: "Then I'll wear black too. So I can hide when I spill soy milk." Zhenhua stares at him for a second. Then, for the first time in years, he laughs-a soft, startled sound he doesn't recognize as his own. ---
