Synopsis One:
In 866 C.E., to celebrate the victory in the Mechanical Intelligence War and the opening of a new archaeological theme park dedicated to the Enlighteners, New Jade Gate held the first "New Continent Music Festival." It invited many famous local singers and bands, including Selena Mao, a fixture in the music scene who had been famous for thirty years.
Since the Imperial Canaan Consortium was the archaeological park's largest private investor, the two sides jointly organized the festival.
The Imperial side wanted the warm-up act to be handled by the newly famous Imperial girl singer Vivian Carnat (played by Aiji Perin), but the New Jade Gate government insisted on using locals and even formed the Big Sandstorm Band, made up entirely of local people.
The band consisted of a veteran Sandfolk herder, an elite machine gunner from Lumina, a retired armory fitter, and Aguan (played by Lei Chengsheng), a third-rate rock singer who had been unable to make a living in Nefi after his band broke up, and had no choice but to return to his hometown to work as a mail carrier. Their average musical ability was barely better than someone who'd dropped out of prenatal music classes.
After a friendly discussion, the two sides decided to perform on the same stage.
The meticulous Vivian felt that Aguan and the Big Sandstorm Band were insulting music; the latter, meanwhile, thought the pretentious Imperials were insulting the heartfelt enthusiasm of New Jade Gate's people.
As they maneuvered against each other amid one mess after another, preparations for the music festival proceeded in full swing,
