Synopsis

Jiang Chen Bo (James Wen) is the typical loser: He is not fashionable or charming and has no money, girlfriend or respect. Then, an out of the blue promotion changes his world. Suddenly, he becomes the beacon to his father's rather uneventful life, the love bridge between his elite boss and his innocent younger sister, the moneytree for his gold-digging lover. However, things that come easily, go easily. The news of him quitting his job caused his lover to leave him, his father to have a stroke, and his sister to break off contact with his ex-boss. He tries to come up with plans to make everything better, only to have them backfire on him. But, family is always there to help him pick up the pieces.

gollark: It's not great compared to PC, since the vendor can just not provide updates for the vendor stuff, and the kernel is annoying, but you can update much of userspace independently.

gollark: There's a UBPorts GSI.

gollark: Oh, a decent amount, they can use the APIs.

gollark: VoLTE does *not*, and neither does FM radio for some reason, but basically everything else works fine on sane devices.

gollark: With Treble, your phone vendor provides a vendor image on one partition containing something or other, and that provides a bunch of APIs to Android, and thus you can flash a generic system image onto any supported device and basically everything works.
