Spoilers ahead
In an alternate setting of Han Imperial China, the once-revered dragons have been banished and enslaved by the Emperor due to a widespread climate of distrust. These remarkable creatures are confined to massive pens, where they are forced to channel their Qi, or psychic energy, to extend the Emperor’s life. Among the unfortunate souls in this plight is an orphan girl named Ping, who is raised in captivity by a compassionate elderly woman named Lao Ma(/actor/isabel-gaud). Their lives revolve around the upkeep of imprisoned dragons, including Long Danzi and Lu Yu. Unfortunately, they are overseen by the cruel Master Lan, who mistreats both Ping and Lao Ma. Yet, amidst this harsh reality, Ping finds solace in a friendship with a rat named Hua.
