What is young master?
A stereotype commonly found in chinashit xianxia, a young master is an overbearing and prideful character, often with the backing of a powerful family or organization, who underestimates the protagonist and comes into conflict with them over trivial matters. Obsessed with their own overwhelming superiority and prideful to a comical degree, they are quickly killed off by the protagonist in order to progress the plot and fuel conflict between the protagonist and the young master’s supporters.
You dare offend this young master by trying to enjoy a meal at a high-class restaurant and making eye contact with a female character? You are but a frog in a well, a toad lusting after swan meat, one who cannot hope to comprehend the immensity of heaven and earth. Kowtow to me 3,000 times and cripple yourself and I might deign to leave your relatives an intact corpse to bury.
