Wen Ling was once a modern-day streamer who made a living popularizing knowledge about exotic pets. After being bitten by a venomous snake, her soul crossed into the Shanhai Chronicle, and she became the infatuated only daughter of a border general.
Her original self was hopelessly in love with Prince Su, Yan Heng, and after repeatedly begging her father to petition the court, she finally received an imperial marriage decree.
Newly arrived, Wen Ling could only think that a man who lived by the sword was hardly a suitable match.
Then, on the night she tried to escape, she awakened the transmigration ability to hear the spirits of beasts. Even more unexpectedly, she formed a bond with the mythical beast Tengshe, said to have gone extinct long ago. From then on, she stepped into the world of spirit beasts in the Shanhai Chronicle and embarked on an unusual path to prosperity.
The good news: No one calls her a lovesick fool throwing herself at Prince Su anymore.
The bad news: People have started quietly calling her a “venomous beauty.”
Yan Heng was Prince Su of the Yan Kingdom, the Empress's only son and a cold-faced god of war.
When he witnessed Wen Ling form a spirit bond with the mythical beast whose blood pact with him had failed, he was stunned.
She stood in the radiant mist, Tengshe coiled around her, looking just like the goddess who descended to the mortal world in ancient scrolls.
He fell for her.
Who could have guessed?
The woman who supposedly refused to marry anyone but him bluntly asked to break off the engagement. She must be playing hard to get.
He gave her a protective charm at their wedding, and she handed him a contract. She must be shy and reserved.
And that wasn't all.
First came Tengshe, then a spirit lizard, and after that, spirit beasts from all four corners of the land vied to get close to her.
Before he could swallow his jealousy over the spirit beasts, the crown prince of an enemy kingdom tried to steal her away with a rare spirit pet.
Thus, the jealous Prince Su, a master of convincing himself she was in love with him, began his long pursuit of his wife. He had to guard against foreign enemies and compete with the spirit beasts filling his manor for her affection.
Two powerful people bring out the best in each other and rewrite the Shanhai Chronicle together, ushering in an age of prosperity.
Theme: All things have a spirit.
