Reborn in 1982 in Kaoshan Village, Chen Mo remembers how his previous life ended in tragedy because of the bride price, and how his sister-in-law was sold off and his younger sister forced into an exchange marriage. He publicly drives away Lin Jiaojiao, who demands an exorbitant bride price, and firmly separates his household from his biased grandmother's. Taking his sister-in-law, Shen Yuzhu, and his younger sister with him, he moves into a drafty thatched hut by the mountainside. While cleaning an old iron pot, he accidentally activates a beast-bone pendant and gains the Ten Thousand Beasts Art and a Spiritual Spring Space, granting him the ability to understand and form contracts with wild beasts. From then on, Chen Mo's journey to become the Beast-Tongue Hunting King begins, with his sister-in-law and younger sister by his side.
