Moved by her potential, Kongming dedicates himself to guiding Eiko's career, applying his tactical mind to navigate the complexities of the contemporary music industry. The series explores themes of adaptation, mentorship, and the enduring relevance of strategic thinking across vastly different worlds. Kongming’s unconventional methods, drawn from battlefield tactics, create both opportunities and challenges as he strives to elevate Eiko’s profile and achieve lasting recognition for her artistry within a world unfamiliar to him.
