However, the wheels of fate suddenly turn, and he receives a mysterious phone call and turns out to be the unexpected heir to a run-down zoo. Shi Tu thought that he would become rich overnight, but he didn't expect to get a zoo full of debts. He initially planned to sell the uninvited guest, but the reality was that no one cared.
At the zoo, there is a group of employees with a difference: an old man who claims to be the founder of the zoo, a girl who dresses in a rabbit suit every day, a boy who falls in love with a pig, and a man who always runs around with his dog. Despite their eccentric personalities, they have a deep affection for the zoo. These employees lack business acumen, but their love for this paradise has made Shitu begin to re-examine his attitude towards this place.
