Because Shen Huai is the son of an executioner, everyone in the village considers his family unlucky. He has no friends, but he has a secret: he can understand animals. When a disappearance occurs in the village, everyone assumes that a blind bear has eaten the missing girl. Using his extraordinary ability to understand animal speech, Shen Huai pieces together fragments of information from insects, birds, and wild beasts, uncovers the truth hidden by humans, and helps the authorities solve a mysterious case.
