Zhao Shiqing was born with a unique gift: she could understand animal speech. When her entire family was murdered in her childhood, she miraculously survived and was adopted by King Liang.
From then on, Zhao Shiqing gained a father of noble status, a delicate and helpless mother, a cunning elder brother, a mama's boy second brother, a virtuous and gentle elder sister, and a beautiful, ice-cold mentor.
Then one day, her father died, her family was shattered, and her mother and she turned against each other. Zhao Shiqing became known as a bringer of misfortune, driven out of the King's mansion, avoided by everyone.
Zhao Shiqing then encountered Xiao Zhen, who had been reborn through faked death, experiencing mixed emotions of grief and joy. The grief stemmed from realizing that everything had been a conspiracy, while the joy came from discovering that someone else was even more miserable than her.
This is a story about two "bringers of misfortune" who commiserate over their tragic fates while fighting monsters together.
