And now she approaching adolescence and experiencing mood swings. After her mother says no to a 4*Town concert and misinterprets an embarrassing secret in her diary, Mei suddenly wakes up the next morning as a gigantic red panda. Ming tells Mei that their ancestors had a mystical connection with the red panda goddess. But after years of using an inherited power passed down from mother to daughter, it became out of control and now those who experience this gift will be forced to turn into a red panda whenever they feel excitement, unless they have an anchor.
