THE STORY
The Underdog. The Bully. The Championship.
SI DAIWEI is a Chengdu sales manager who fails at every aspect of Chinese business culture. He can't drink—turns bright red after half a glass. He doesn't have connections. He's invisible.
Then he discovers the CBWF: a shadow organization where his one skill matters. He refuses to quit.
The problem? The nine-time Shanghai champion is his childhood bully. And he's using the federation to launder money.
Team Chengdu—the underdog, a Retired National Athlete with legacy status, and an enthusiastic American expat coach—must advance through the tournament, uncover the corruption, and prove that the provinces matter.
The Theme:
Where you're from doesn't determine your worth. Getting back up is its own kind of victory.
