Fang Ling, hailed as a "tech genius" and "the greatest inventor of the twenty-first century," woke up one day to find he had transmigrated to 2010 in a parallel world.

At the time, the domestic phone market was fiercely competitive. Apple entered the fray with the iPhone 4, redefining the smartphone with its Retina display and glass body.

Samsung rose rapidly with its Galaxy series and self-developed screens, eating into Nokia's territory even as it went head-to-head with Apple.

Qualcomm held the patents for baseband technology and chips, raking in patent fees from all sides and firmly securing its place as the chip industry's leader.

Faced with a technological siege by overseas giants and a blockade of the entire supply chain, domestic phone makers were steadily losing ground.

Even the country's four major players, dubbed "Zhong Ju Ku Lian," could barely survive in the low-end market through carrier-customized phones.

Just as the whole industry faced an existential crisis, Fang Ling made a powerful entrance with Wanchuang Technology.

"Innovation isn't copying. We come with our own black technology." Backed by technology far ahead of the competition, he completely broke free of the predicament of technological backwardness.

From a rising domestic contender to a global tech superpower, Fang Ling proved through sheer ability what it means to say:

"Backstabbing rivals feels great once. Backstabbing them forever feels great forever!"
