I am the only beast tamer capable of averting the catastrophe of ten thousand beasts trampling the Shang capital. Yet in my previous life, the crown prince Wen Yuanzhou, suspicious of me, had me bound and thrown into the beast arena, where I was devoured alive over the course of three days. He believed the lies of my cousin Jiang Liqing and dragged my whole family into hell. My younger brother was conscripted as a slave, my younger sister was sold into a brothel, and I became the scapegoat. When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the day the empress dowager arranged my marriage. I pretended to hate animals and refused to become the crown prince’s consort, watching coldly as Jiang Liqing stole my identity. She joined forces with my uncle to kill my brother, then tried to use my younger siblings to threaten me. Wen Yuanzhou even threw me to the wolves to be tortured. Fortunately, the hostage prince from Southern Chu, Yuwen Ci, came to my aid. I protected my younger siblings and, on the day of the coronation, commanded the myriad beasts as a true beast tamer. This time, I will not repeat the mistakes of the past. Blood debts must be repaid in blood.
