The company XENUS was successfully run by Zhang Sum. One day Zhang Sum ended up in the hospital, and his spoiled grandson Hugo took over the company. However, Hugo was incapable and loses control of the company to Mike, a genuinely skilled manager.
Mike manipulated the company and moved all the clients to his own company. XENUS was near collapse, while Hugo loses everything and becomes the joke of society. At the lowest point of his life, the only one that backed him up was a mentally low-IQ girl Fa Lai-chu. Hugo would bounce back and have to decide between the intellectually disabled girl Fa and Agnes, the beautiful perfect model who didn't stand by him enough.

Analysis

The show did generate a lot of online comments. Some people felt that a screenplay having a mentally ill character was a disrespect to the mentally disabled community. Others felt that the role played by Charmaine Sheh is largely a copy of Roger Kwok's role of a mentally disabled person.
