Synopsis of The Chronicles of the Beautiful Shoulder Kingdoms
While office worker Wu Ciren was losing his hair over revisions to the eighteenth version of a promotional blurb, his friend Gao Yixiao made one slip of the hand and submitted Wu's muddy graduation photo with his presidential campaign registration for Beautiful Shoulder. From then on, the "performance-review deduction whiz" was forced to become an "international candidate."
He couldn't afford White House coffee, both parties treated him like he was invisible, and he won a disastrous war with a fishing net, yet the people hailed him as the "Emperor of Dongzhao." Even more absurdly, the tycoon's daughter Kakala chased after him in a diamond-studded gown, demanding to be empress, while his opponent Tom Jerry staged an "independence" movement in a wedding costume. Even the governor of Corn State came begging for grain subsidies: "I'll vote for you, but you have to keep us fed!"
He has no regal aura from wearing a dragon robe, only the absurd rise of an overworked employee. If he can revise copy, can he run Beautiful Shoulder? Watch the most down-to-earth "working-class president" navigate the bizarre chaos of state-on-state warfare, turning America into the "Kingdoms of Dongzhao" while poking fun at workplace tricks around the world. After all, being president and revising copy are both, at heart, about making people happy!
