Being protected by a band of sinister monster hunters, breaking into Ge Qianhu's place sounds like an impossible mission, let alone saving Wuba. The restaurant is renowned for making monsters into luxurious dishes. However, after a change of heart, they determine to save him, only to discover that Wuba is sold to a 5-star restaurant owned by the cunning Ge Qianhu (Wallace Chung). Unable to defy Xiaonan, Tianyin eventually lets her sell Wuba. Although they both love Wuba like their own son, Xiaonan tries to hold back her love in order to focus on her mission. They name him Wuba since he keeps hollering this word. Being hunted by both sides, Tianyin finally gives birth to the future king in the worst possible situation. She offers to protect the "pregnant" Tianyin under the condition that they sell the newborn monster for a good profit. As luck would have it, Xiaonan appears and saves the day. Who would have thought an average guy like Tianyin could be the bearer of the most wanted monster! With both worlds wanting to capture him alive, the fates of both Tianyin and the newborn monster seem to be doomed from the start since he can't protect himself.

Meanwhile, the monster world writhes in chaos as the dark lord is plotting to overthrow the current reign. Average young guy Tianyin (Jing Boran) is a security chief who dreams of making it big but is hold back by his diffidence and his elder grandma. Somewhere in the human world lies a small peaceful place called Serenity Village. For all these years, the two races have lived in their separate worlds, until the birth of a new monster king who would reshape the balance of power and bring in the new world order. If they were found, they would be captured and exterminated. Ever since, monsters were forbidden to step into the land again.
