Luo Kun’s past life was filled with misfortune. His gambling‑addicted father racked up massive debts. Wang Jun, a local ruffian, took advantage of the situation to storm their home. He abused Luo Kun’s younger sister and beat their mother, leaving her permanently disabled. Powerless to defend his family, Luo Kun sank into despair. He worked as a forest ranger deep in the mountains for years, only to freeze to death in heavy winter snow. Burdened with endless regret, Luo Kun is reborn back to the fateful winter when all the tragedies began. He wakes up in a desolate forest, face‑to‑face with a menacing wild wolf. At the brink of death, the Beast‑Taming System awakens. Whenever an animal submits to him, it can become his beast servant, and he gains access to its innate abilities. Luo Kun struggles and subdues the wolf king Xiao Qi, completing his first taming and gaining the beast’s formidable physical strength. Returning home, he catches Wang Jun forcing his sister to pay off debts in her place. Empowered by his new‑found strength, Luo Kun intimidates the ruffian and strikes an agreement: the gambling debt of seventy yuan must be settled within three days. To raise the money, Luo Kun hunts in the mountains alongside the wolf king. They bag roe deer and wild boars. Along the way, he tames a sharp‑scented sable, whose guidance leads him to highly‑valued wild ginseng. He sells large quantities of game and rare medicinal herbs at the supply‑and‑marketing cooperative, earning a hefty sum at one go. He pays off the debt in full, buys rice, flour and cloth for his family, and spares his mother and sister from hunger for the first time. Gossipy Aunt Li from the village has long mocked Luo Kun. Unwilling to accept defeat, Wang Jun repeatedly brings men to harass the household and even ambushes him in the mountains with a dagger. Luo Kun effortlessly fends off all attacks with his beast servants, and the wrongdoers suffer humiliating consequences. Later, he tames a giant python, a fierce eagle and a young brown bear, expanding his retinue of beast servants and reaping ever‑greater gains from the wilderness.
