Monsters have coexisted with humans for centuries, leading to the establishment of the "Bureau of Special Resident Affairs" to promote communication between the two species. However, the bureau has veered off course in recent times by imposing strict surveillance on monsters and restricting their interactions with humans. New recruit Lu Ji empathizes with the monsters' challenges and their diminishing habitats due to human encroachment. As he questions the bureau's human-centric policies, Lu Ji grapples with his conflicting loyalties. His internal turmoil escalates when he uncovers a potential connection to the monster community. Should he align himself with the monsters in their resistance against oppressive human regulations, or should he support the humans in preserving safety and order?
