Dragon Continent is a world of pure summoning, without magic or battle aura. When the reclusive Yue Yang arrived, he was astonished to find himself in a completely different identity: the third young master of the Yue family, a drowned ghost who committed suicide after being jilted by a beautiful woman.

But the transmigrated Yue Yang was different; he only needed one day… While others struggle with contracted battle beasts, countless divine and sacred beasts fawn over otaku, acting all obedient like 'I'm a qualified henchman'. But this kid didn't appreciate it at all: "Get lost! So what if you're a divine beast? Get out of my way! I only like beautiful female summoned beasts!" Faced with the eager courtship of various countries, the shameless time-traveling man gave his answer: "Let's not talk about national affairs, let's only talk about romance!"
