About This Novel

Xuanzang, a monk from the Tang Dynasty, was originally reincarnated as a golden cicada with six pure roots, dedicated to the Buddha, and embarked on the westward journey with the mission of universal salvation for all sentient beings. However, when he led Wukong, Bajie, and Sha Seng into the border of Xiliang, where "there are no men in the country, they are all women", and met the king of the daughter country who was all-powerful and had the world in his heart, the fateful trajectory quietly deflected. The Daughter Kingdom is not a gentle land that only knows tenderness as in the legend. It contains the secrets of the ancient witch clan, the curse of the Zimu River, the covetousness of the neighboring country Chechi, and even ancient secrets that neither Buddhism nor Heaven are willing to mention. King Zhu Yuyao is by no means a weak monarch. She supports a country as a woman. She is smart and decisive, but she is caught in a dilemma between the survival of the country and her own destiny. In order to solve the curse of the Zimu River, protect the safety of his daughter's country, and also to detect the "emotional disaster" on his own spiritual path, Xuanzang chose to "commit himself" to the king, feel the fireworks of the world as a mortal, and assist Yuyao in governing the country with Buddhist wisdom. This is not a simple love between children, but a practice about faith, responsibility, family, country and righteousness. Tang Seng is no longer a "pedantic monk" who only chants sutras and prays to Buddha. He understands the true meaning of compassion in love and practices the original intention of Purdue in governing the country; the King of the Daughter Kingdom is no longer a weak woman waiting for redemption. She shines as a king while working hand in hand, and sticks to the mission of her family and country in the entanglement of love and hate. When the scripture-seeking team is closely connected with the fate of the Daughter's Kingdom, when personal love and the righteousness of the three realms are intertwined, they will eventually embark on a unique "path to enlightenment" on the westward journey, writing an eternal legend that spans Buddhism and secularity, love and responsibility.

The relationship between Tang Monk and the King of the Daughter Kingdom

The friendship between Tang Monk and the king of his daughter's country is the most touching "non-Buddhist" chapter in "Journey to the West". It has nothing to do with the dangers of demons and ghosts, but it hides the most grueling test on the path of spiritual practice - the gentle ties of human fireworks. The king's deep affection is the pure sincerity of the emperor after taking off his crown. The confession of "I would like to use the wealth of a country to recruit him as the king and me as the queen" has no power and scheming, only full admiration for the person he likes; Tang Seng's hesitation is the true nature of human nature of the holy monk after tearing off the mask of "all four things are empty". The unspoken "if there is an afterlife" hides his final compromise on his attachment to the world of mortals. This friendship is not a vigorous love, but a tacit understanding. It is the regret and fulfillment of "I know you are on a mission to learn scriptures, and you understand that I am willing to accompany you year after year." The image of Tang Seng has changed from "the holy monk who does not eat the fireworks of the world" to flesh and blood, which also adds the gentlest background to this journey of seeking Buddhist scriptures in the West - it turns out that true cultivation is not to cut off all emotions, but to still stick to the original intention when the heart is tempted, and to choose to live up to the mission despite reluctance. This restrained affection is far more touching than the happy ending, and it has become the most touching "uneasy feeling" in history.
