The protagonist Shen Shen (born in the twelfth lunar month of the Year of the Snake in 1989, belongs to Snake, and the five elements belong to Wood) is actually the incarnation of the last "Earth Dragon Vein" in China. His fate leads to the rise and fall of the country's destiny. The relatives around him, because of their zodiac signs, each represent a kind of power of the five elements, and are natural "pulse protectors", responsible for protecting the protagonist before his awakening and assisting him to stabilize the dragon's veins after his awakening.
