Those Years I Opened a Zoo

When Duan Jiaze unexpectedly inherits the Lingyou Zoo, he discovers that his new acquisition is teetering on the edge of total financial ruin. Faced with imminent bankruptcy, he has no choice but to act swiftly, devising a plan to revitalize the failing business and restore it to profitability before it is too late. The pressure is immense, and the odds of success seem overwhelmingly slim for an ordinary manager. However, Duan Jiaze quickly realizes that running this particular establishment will be anything but ordinary. The staff members assigned to assist him in this daunting turnaround effort are far from typical employees. Instead of regular zookeepers, he finds himself working alongside a roster of mythical beings, including the legendary sun crow known as Jinwu, a mystical nine-tailed fox, and a fearsome demon snake. Navigating daily operations with such extraordinary and unpredictable companions introduces a host of unique challenges that go far beyond standard business management. With his livelihood hanging in the balance and a team composed entirely of ancient creatures, Duan Jiaze must find a way to harmonize his desperate need for revenue with the chaotic reality of his supernatural workforce. Whether the Lingyou Zoo can weather these bizarre circumstances and emerge unscathed remains to be seen.
