Background
Ke, 可, carries multiple meanings in Chinese and each of them was an inspiration for Xue's online concert. From the director Zhao Bochong: It means "approve (可以)" which gives encouragement and validation, it means "but (可是)" which allows for a chance to consider different choices and grow, it means "possibility (可能)" which promises new things in the future. It also means "can" as the synopsis for the concert reads: This time, no matter where you are, you can meet him online.

Prior to the concert, fans participated in an online wish list poll for which songs they'd like Xue to perform at the concert with "Countless" (无数) was the top choice. Xue performed a total of 12 songs, the same as the number of albums he has released.

Concert synopsis
The concert incorporated lantern riddles to transition between segments, a thematic choice as the concert is right before Lantern Festival, and viewers were invited to submit their answers in comments. An interview area was set up, with Xue's 12 albums as the backdrop, for Xue to participate in the riddles as well as discuss his musical journey over the past 18 years with the host and other guests. Throughout the concert, Xue peppered in humorous interaction with the crew and the band, both to liven the atmosphere and to highlight their contributions. There was also an Easter egg at the end of the concert
