I’m Done with the Rat Race! I’m Opening a B&B in Changbai Mountain and Raising Pets

After working herself to death from overtime, designer Tao Yaoyao unexpectedly transmigrates into a girl with the same name who also died from overwork. To her delight, she discovers that she has retained her secret ability to understand animals. She rescues a bullied little orange cat named Tao Dangdang at the hospital, then helps an injured puppy named Tao Dashun at the market. The two adorable pets become her first family in this new world.

A letter from Qingxi Village in the Changbai Mountains brings news of her grandaunt’s death and leaves her with a small property called the Peach Blossom Guesthouse. With her love of nature and animals in her heart, Tao Yaoyao sets off for the Changbai Mountains with Dangdang and Dashun to begin a new life.

In Qingxi Village, she forms an unbreakable bond with the Changbai Mountains’ wild animals. A proud Northeast tiger called Mountain Lord, a mischievous sable, a clever squirrel, and a gentle little roe deer all become “special guests” at the guesthouse.

As she runs the guesthouse, Tao Yaoyao uses her ability to communicate with animals to weather the challenges of the trial opening and resolve a food shortage. The guesthouse becomes a hit thanks to its unique animal-interaction experiences. She is invited to join a panda rescue operation and ventures into the forests of Sichuan to save an endangered giant panda. Through the rescue, she witnesses the fragility and resilience of life, and her relationship with him gradually grows closer.

From an unexpected transmigration to putting down roots in the mountains, and from walking alone to finding family, love, and friendship, Tao Yaoyao makes the guesthouse a bridge between people, animals, and nature. With warmth and kindness, she protects the creatures around her. On this vibrant land, she finds a fulfilling life and a place where her heart can finally call home.
