All great power and painful experiences ultimately exist to help you understand who you are and who you truly want to become.
I can't stay by your side until the end, but everything I am will become the armor and blade that help you keep moving forward.
After his beloved dog Pangpang dies unexpectedly, Hu Yan leaves the pain of city life behind and moves to the grasslands. But a bloodthirsty, red-eyed Wolf King destroys his new home. To protect everything he holds dear, Hu Yan enters a sacred mountain and obtains the soul of a White Tiger. From then on, half man and half beast, he battles demons in the body of a tiger.
Once a herdsman everyone trusted, he becomes a tiger spirit driven away in fear. With nowhere left to belong, he has only his dog Alu and the pony Benben by his side, loyal to the death. To save his companions, he ventures into another immortal mountain, drawn into a shocking game of chess between the gods while also facing the human-made Beast-Changing Pill and those seeking to profit from it. As one companion after another gives everything for him, becoming the fangs in his mouth and the claws in his hands, he finally understands that true strength isn't an outward power, but a heart devoted to protecting others until death.
This is a lonely road to becoming king, a passionate tale of bonds that transcend species and a human who faces death to live, and, in every word, a call to oppose animal abuse.
