Journey to the West: Stablehand at the Imperial Stables, I Lay Low Until I Become Supreme of the Three Realms

Li Yan, a corporate drone at a major tech company, died from overwork and opened his eyes after transmigrating into the lowest-ranking ninth-grade assistant superintendent in Heaven's Imperial Horse Bureau. From the start, his immediate superior dumped him into a deadly scapegoat trap: he was assigned to coordinate with Sun Wukong, the soon-to-arrive Bimawen! Accept the assignment, and he'd die when Sun Wukong kicked up a fuss. Refuse, and he'd be banished to the mortal realm on the spot. At this life-or-death moment, Li Yan awakened his one and only golden finger: he could understand what the heavenly horses were saying!

By relying on the gossip about the gods and Buddhas across the heavens, as well as the secrets of the Three Realms, that he overheard from the horses, Li Yan seized every opportunity with precision. With a single sentence, he brought the Great Sage Equal to Heaven to heel, then turned around and sent his corrupt superior to the heavenly prison! While others risked death time and again on the Journey to the West, he used his ability to understand horses to intercept opportunities and steadily seize power. He brought modern corporate survival tactics to Heaven, never rebelling against the heavens or picking a head-on fight, and always playing by the rules.

From a ninth-grade corporate drone who was made the scapegoat, he rose through the ranks to become the true power of the Three Realms, so influential that even the Jade Emperor and the Tathagata relied on him! The Tathagata roared, "He's just a horse keeper? Bullshit! The lifeline of every army in the Three Realms is in his hands!" The Jade Emperor stroked his beard and sneered. "Minister Li is my trusted confidant. Anyone in Heaven who dares touch him is defying me!"
