Qi Qi transmigrated.
The good news: he was still a police officer after transmigrating.
The bad news: he'd ended up in New York, still known as the "crime capital," and he was a rookie Asian-American cop.
The good news: he'd ended up in a TV show he'd watched.
The bad news: it was a mash-up of who knew how many TV shows, and the plot had already become a complete mess.

New York in 1989 was a city the whole world held up as a cautionary tale.
It was a city in decay.
Glamour and excess were its outer shell, and sordid absurdity was in its bones.
"Crime capital," "The Big Rotten Apple," "a city committing suicide": that was what everyone called it.
Manhattan's skyscrapers still towered above the city, and people still made fortunes overnight on the trading floor of Wall Street.
But step off those narrow streets, and the city would reveal its true face.
Gang tags covered the walls. Used syringes littered the grass. Beneath the neon lights at night stood drug dealers and prostitutes.

A Wall Street financial titan saw his company mysteriously shorted overnight and brought to the brink of bankruptcy.
In a dark room on the Upper East Side, a political power broker personally interrogated a bloodied informant.
In an abandoned Brooklyn warehouse, an undercover cop took the top spot in the mob, while the former godfather died with his eyes open.
Meanwhile, in the Bronx, a young man named Qi Qi pushed open the doors of Precinct 43, unaware of the road ahead.
The Bronx's 43rd Precinct.
It had the city's highest crime rate and worst public safety record. The police force called it "the dump."
Officers assigned there had either been sent away for getting into trouble or targeted for crossing the wrong person.
Qi Qi was the third kind.
No one could have imagined that this powerless, low-ranking Asian cop would one day become a major player who shook America.
[Highlights]
1. The rise of an ordinary man, from rookie cop to mayor of New York City
2. A heartthrob with plenty of unrequited crushes; one-on-one pairing in the end, with an undercover godfather
3. Lots of romance, a no-brain power fantasy, no logic
4. An alternate America, blending the worlds of various TV shows. Entirely fictional, so please don't confuse it with reality.
