Young man Ye Ting accidentally crosses into a book as an evil tyrant. Facing bare walls and huge gambling debts, he enters the mountain to hunt relying on the ability to understand animal inner voices. While improving his life, he matches wits with village tyrant Wan Fugui and county evil tyrant Cao Dayong, protects the widow Su Yuzhen and a martyr's widow, and finally clears his grievances, becoming a respected forest farm animal-husbandry master.
