- Synopsis
- In a fantasy world far, far away, monsters ruled the earth. Then came human’s all-out war in an attempt to seize the land. They eventually outwitted the monsters and succeeded in driving them into the dark mountains. Ever since, monsters were forbidden to step into the land again. For all these years, the two races have lived in their separate worlds.
  
  While there seems to be apparent peace in the human world, the monster world writhes in chaos as the dark lord is plotting to overthrow the current reign. In order to end the royal bloodline, he orders the assassination of the pregnant monster queen, forcing her to flee and take refuge in a small village in the human world. Getting wind of the monster queen’s whereabouts, monster hunters from all over the world, including the female rookie Xiaonan (Bai Baihe) who desperately tries to make her mark, arrive at the village to capture the queen. During the pursuit, average young guy Tianyin (Jing Boran) is caught up in the middle. Knowing the end is near, the dying monster queen spills her egg into Tianyin’s mouth in a hopeless attempt to save her heir, making him the bearer of the future monster king.
  
  With both worlds wanting to capture him alive, the lives of both Tianyin and the newborn monster are in great danger. As luck would have it, Xiaonan appears and saves the day. She offers to protect the “pregnant” Tianyin under the condition that they sell the newborn monster for a good profit. Who would have thought, the fate of the human and monster races would lie in their hands. Do they have what it takes to confront the danger ahead?
