Xiao Jiuyuan, the abandoned son of the Xiao family, had a broken spiritual root and was looked down upon. His fiancée broke off the engagement in public, just because the real daughter came back with an exotic treasure - and that exotic treasure was a lame little milk cat that he picked up when he was living on the street. No one knew that the little thing that swallowed half of his steamed bun was actually the cub of the ancient soul-eating beast "Taotie". When the real daughter set up a trap and asked him to bear the crime of stealing the elixir, the little cat burped and vomited out the complete memory crystal of the real daughter's collusion with the villain. Xiao Jiuyuan just realized that his "waste" physique was the price of sealing Taotie. One man and one beast embark on a journey to uncover the mystery of their life experience. The truth was revealed layer by layer, and the man behind the scenes actually pointed to his parents who had been dead for many years. The battle between true and false is just the first step in this shocking chess game.
