Bai Zhaoyan died in the apocalypse and transmigrated into the body of a universally despised female in the ancient Beast World, just as she was trying to seduce the White Snake. The original owner of the body was gluttonous and lazy, overweight and complacent, ugly in appearance, and had forcefully taken four Beast Husbands for herself.

To complete her mission, Bai Zhaoyan took the initiative to get close to him, and when the other Beast Husbands saw how well she treated the Black Wolf, they actually started to get jealous. * Bai Zhaoyan loses weight, takes care of her skin, makes paper, builds houses, and produces salt, thriving in her new life. When she remembers her mission and turns to look, she finds that the four Beast Husbands who once loathed her have, at some unknown point, all changed their attitudes.
