1. Encounter
Once upon a time, a beast often caused mischief in the mortal world, and people called it “Xi.” The God Zi Wei finally reclaimed Beast Xi, brought it to the divine realm, and entrusted it to Fairy Nian.

2. Fairy Nian
Fairy Nian was a princess, the last descendant of the Shang Dynasty. After the Battle of Muye, the Shang Dynasty fell, and Princess Nian ascended to the angelic realm and became a fairy under the command of the God Zi Wei.

3. Accompany
After God Zi Wei handed Beast Xi over to Fairy Nian, Xi followed Nian to learn to do good deeds and help humans. During this time, they became close friends, accompanying each other through countless days and nights. However, the good time didn’t last long. In the wake of human world upheaval, as dynasties waxed and waned, Fairy Nian, the final descent of the Shang dynasty, resolved to offer herself as a sacrifice to quell the world’s chaos.

4. Parting
Thus, beneath the gods’ contemplation, Nian surrendered her life to procure a realm of serenity. After Nian’s death, Beast Xi came to the mortal realm, adopted Nian’s name, and became Beast Nian, the guardian deity of an island.
