Xia Yiyi, a third-year postgraduate student majoring in archeology, faced the risk of delaying graduation because her thesis was rejected by her tutor. She felt depressed and decided to go to a remote mountainous area to explore and relax alone. In the deep mountains and old forests, Xia Yiyi accidentally slipped down the hillside and suffered head injuries and bleeding. The blood seeped into a strange rock crevice. The rock was actually the seal of the ancient divine beast Kui, who had been sleeping for tens of thousands of years. The blood activated the contract. About the same time, Kui turned into gas and entered Xia Yiyi's body. After Xia Yiyi woke up, she found that there was a "phantom" around her that only she could see. By chance, she discovered that Kui could read the words on ancient artifacts. Xia Yiyi was kidnapped by Li Yan's people while investigating alone and was imprisoned in an ancient ruins. Kui sensed that Xia Yiyi's life was in danger and went to rescue him desperately. During the rescue process, Kui was seriously injured. He finally confessed to Xia Yiyi that the contract had long been transformed into emotional dependence. Li Yan started an ancient ritual to prepare to seize Kui's power. At the critical moment, Kui fully recovered his true form. Xia Yiyi assisted Kui with her understanding of the contract, and the two worked together to defeat Li Yan. Kui gained the ability to freely transform between human form and mythical beast form, choosing to maintain the cute monster form with eight-pack abs. A year later, Xia Yiyi graduated and became a well-known scholar, and opened a studio with Kui to study ancient civilizations and help solve supernatural events. The two made a lifelong promise under the stars.
