After a Wild Night, Pretty CEO and Child at My Door

Episode 1

Maximilian walks away from the elite Dragon's Claw, handing the crew over to the men who served under him. His parting vow is personal: he'll chase down the six-pointed star symbol himself and settle the score for Sha. But his first night of freedom goes sideways when he crosses paths with a drugged CEO, Genevieve, and the two spend a night together that neither planned.

Five years later, the story catches up with him. Word spreads that Genevieve, head of Gushi Group, is expected at a celebration banquet alongside Zhao Yingjie, the Zhao family's second son—an arranged match that has the whole city talking. Then a little girl named Qiqi appears, looking for her father, and points straight at Maximilian.

Episode 2

Qiqi insists the man in front of her is her dad, and a DNA test backs her up: the results confirm Qiqi and Maximilian are parent and child. Genevieve's people are stunned—the security guard really is the father of the CEO's daughter.

Maximilian wants to know why she never told him. Genevieve throws his past back at him: a bar-hopping, hard-drinking wreck of a man—what was she supposed to say? She admits she only came to him now because Zhao Yingjie is pressing her hard to marry him, and her cousin Gu Xingyu keeps dragging her down.

Maximilian offers a blunt fix: "Marry me, and I will take care of Qiqi." Qiqi begs her mother to say yes—every other kid has a dad, and she wants one too.

Episode 3

Genevieve lays out the terms of this marriage like a contract. She doesn't care what Maximilian does with his nights, but he will look after Qiqi, and in return she'll pay him fifty thousand a month. He waves the money away; he doesn't need it.

The deal is barely settled when a face from the past turns up—an old classmate who clearly still carries a grudge from high school. She needles him about rejecting her back then, and promises he'll regret it, showing off the car her new boyfriend drives as proof of what he threw away. Maximilian isn't impressed. The tension is only warming up.

Episode 4

The old classmate isn't done with Maximilian. She drags up a vicious rumor from his past—that he assaulted his own sister and left her dead—and sneers that a man like him belongs in prison. When Qiqi pipes up to defend him, the woman turns her venom on the child, calling her names and hinting she must have been born from something ugly.

Maximilian warns her once: don't push him in front of his kid. Her companion joins the mockery, and the insults keep coming until someone grabs at Genevieve. Qiqi screams at them not to bully her mother. The line has been crossed, and Maximilian steps forward.

Episode 5

A man named Qin Zhiqiang, backed by his thugs, threatens the family—bragging that no one crosses him in this city and that anyone who touches him will never stand tall in Dongjiang again. Maximilian's answer is simple: not even the king of heaven gets to bully his daughter.

Qin Zhiqiang tries to bargain, offering to "go easy" if Genevieve comes to a hotel with him for a month. It's a mistake he pays for immediately. When he threatens to call Gushi Group and bury them, Genevieve makes her own call—he's fired. She promises to blacklist him across the entire industry. Then she reveals exactly who she is, and the bully's bravado collapses.

Episode 6

Qin Zhiqiang's men crumble the moment they realize who they've been threatening. Genevieve is the CEO of Gushi Group, and the tough talk evaporates into kneeling and begging. She doesn't soften—a man like him has no place in her company or anywhere near her family. He scrambles out.

Afterward, Qiqi gushes that her mother is amazing, though she insists her dad is even stronger. Maximilian happily plays along, claiming he could take apart a nuclear bomb with his bare hands and fight an entire division—over ten thousand men. Genevieve cuts the bragging short and calls everyone home for dinner.

Episode 7

Genevieve's mother storms in, furious that her daughter has married a mere security guard. She warns that the Zhao family is already backing cousin Gu Xingyu to seize Gushi Group, and this marriage only hands them more ammunition. Maximilian introduces himself as Genevieve's husband and promises no one will touch her while he's around.

The mother sneers at him and threatens to sell the mother and daughter off. Maximilian orders her out of the house. As the shouting peaks, Genevieve drops the truth—Maximilian is Qiqi's biological father. The fight drains out of her mother. If he treats Qiqi well, she says, the rest doesn't matter.

Episode 8

Heisha, leader of the Black Tiger gang, arrives at the house with an offer that isn't one: under Zhao's backing, Genevieve must transfer sixty percent of Gushi Group for a single yuan. She refuses—her father built that company. Heisha's reply is a thinly veiled death threat, and he raises the stakes by asking whether she'd rather keep her mother or her shares.

When she tries to buy him off with double Zhao's price, he laughs it off as pocket change. He boasts that two hundred Black Tiger brothers have the villa surrounded, and that in Dongjiang, he is the law. Maximilian gives him three seconds to get out.

Episode 9

Heisha's men scoff at the lone security guard daring to interfere with Black Tiger business. Maximilian answers plainly: he's the man of this house, and he's not moving. The gang warns him that Heisha is a ruthless underground power nobody should cross, then moves to bury him.

Heisha offers one last chance—sign the project and the money over, or lose both arms. Maximilian doesn't blink. The threats escalate into a full-on clash as the gang lunges at him, and the man who walked away from Dragon's Claw shows exactly why he was once a legend. The fight for his family has truly begun.

If you love a protector who steps up the second his family is threatened, this one's worth a binge—start it tonight and see how far Maximilian will go.
