Transmigrated into the 1970s as an educated youth, Su Yao awakens an ability to hear animals’ thoughts. She plans to lie flat, watch the drama, and enjoy the show, but gets swept into one conspiracy after another!
An angry calico cat complains: “The squirrels have taken over the chestnuts on the back hill!” A moment later, it bristles with a warning: “The well is poisoned! The person in the baseball cap did it!”
A wild pigeon flaps in with a message: “The cargo ship at the docks is loaded with metal things that bite!” A white fox appears with a bloodstained bronze ring in its mouth, the conspirator’s vicious grin reflected in its eyes.
As the chaotic everyday life of a local hooligan’s family collides with business rivals’ sinister schemes, and the clatter of looms in the drying yard meets gunfire from foreign forces, Su Yao teams up with her animal crew to enjoy the show and get things done.
Eavesdropping on mice arguing accidentally cracks a poisoning case. Watching sparrows fight uncovers an industrial spy. Even the village women’s shouting matches hold crucial clues to the truth!
See how she uses animal whispers to thrive in the 1970s, protecting the educated youth settlement while enjoying the drama amid turbulent times, and writing her own legend!
