In the 14th year of the Ming Dynasty's orthodoxy, it was the eve of the Tumubao Incident. Monsters appear frequently in the capital. The young girl of the household minister turned into a white fox in the street. The bronze beast in Taimiao Town screamed every night. All the victims of the epidemic in the western suburbs were eaten by the beasts. Liang Xiao, the seventeen-year-old son of the Star Observatory Supervisor, was drawn into the whirlpool because he could understand the voices of strange beasts.
His Heavenly Thunder Bead can tame the world's strange beasts, but it cannot tame the human heart.
On the surface, the beast department in the capital town suppresses evil spirits on behalf of the emperor, but in fact, it is secretly controlled by the "beast mother" - a well-known benevolent person in the capital who adopts orphans from all over the world as a nanny. In fact, he transforms young children into half-human, half-animal shadow whistles, and places them in the mansions of the Three Lords and Nine Qings. When the drums are beaten, they will bloom in all directions.
Liang Xiao followed the beast's words to trace the source of the plague, peeling off cocoons and pulling silk threads along the way. He tamed the Siberian Wolf King and solved the theft case of the bronze beast from the Imperial Ancestral Temple; he instigated the rebellion of the golden-eyed ferret and sneaked into the heart of the beast mother's mansion. However, just when the truth was about to be revealed, a decree asked him to join the army in the northern expedition to Wala - the beacon fire of Tumubao was about to sweep across the entire Ming Dynasty.
He knew the outcome, but he had to die personally.
Carrying a name that had been erased from the history books, he led his domesticated beast army to try to carve a way out at the intersection of history and destiny. When he finally walked to the beast mother, he heard a sentence that made his whole body go cold -
"Liang Xiao, you are raising not only beasts, but also the six hundred years of Ming Dynasty luck."
