On the surface, the Tang dynasty during the Zhenguan era is the prosperous age recorded in history. In reality, it conceals a special group known as Beast Tamers. Beast Tamers can form contracts with spirit beasts and draw on their power to wage war and govern the country. Secret spirit-beast realms exist throughout the world, including the Kunlun Ruins and the remnants of the Dragon Palace in the Eastern Sea, where ancient spirit beasts dwell. Meanwhile, evil beast tamers abuse forbidden arts to control mutated spirit beasts and wreak havoc, posing a hidden threat to the Tang dynasty. The imperial court has established the Beast Taming Bureau to register spirit beasts and oversee Beast Tamers, making it a key source of power in the princes’ struggle for the throne.
