Yinge, a beautiful shopkeeper who keeps all kinds of parrots, has a long-dead love she could never forget.
It took Yinge decades to mostly let go of that old flame.
Then one day, a Soulcatcher responsible for capturing wandering spirits walks into her parrot shop.
He is tall and impossibly handsome, but Yinge can tell at a glance that his body is pieced together from a tiger's head, a leopard's tail, and a qilin's body.
His body is striking, but he is missing his heart, lungs, and liver. And the soul inside that body has lost three and a half of its seven emotions.
Sigh...
His body may be incomplete, but she can still recognize him. He is her old flame, returned from the dead.
He has lost his emotions, yet his instinctive affection for Yinge is stronger than ever.
But he has something Yinge wants. Why not help restore his heart and liver, and fill in his missing emotions? Once he recovers, she can enlist his help to free that person from their suffering for good.
