Ming Yang, a former Chinese national volleyball champion, emerged from the ranks of the Dragon Ladies. When this professional Chinese team faced disbandment after relegation, crippled by financial constraints and lost corporate sponsorships, Ming Yang stepped in to rebuild the squad. Spotting athletic potential in kung fu champion Glin Wong, Ming invited her to try out. Following Glin's successful audition, Ming facilitated her integration into the Dragon Ladies. Ming Yang also coordinated with the team's new coach, Shiro Takiki, and Nami Hayase to recruit Mila Hazuki, who was recovering from an Achilles tendon injury that had ended her Olympic dreams. Ming Yang's focus remained on restructuring the team through scouting and integrating new talent to restore its competitive standing.
