How Do I Get By After Becoming Su Daji?

Sun Wukong ✘ Su Daji

Peach blossoms blaze in brilliant profusion,

Yet it seems as though there is only one woman in all the world

-

One is the Victorious Fighting Buddha, the other a demon consort who brought a kingdom to ruin

-

That little fox waited beneath the peach tree for over a thousand years

In the end, she didn’t get the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, but the Victorious Fighting Buddha

/

“Great Sage, Great Sage, I love the peaches on Flower-Fruit Mountain, but I love you even more.”

“Daji, you’re more beautiful than these peach blossoms.”

-

“The one I love is radiant, clad in armor, riding the clouds, and mighty beyond compare.”

“How wonderful.”

“Too bad he isn’t mine.”

/

I still love you, boundless sky, peerless hero,

But waiting will come to nothing, and we will never meet

-

The gods and Buddhas won’t care whether I live or die,

But I think

You will.

Life in this world is too hard. If there is another life, let’s not meet again.

“Your concubine… is called Daji.”

“Even this peach grove pales beside you.”

Let the sun and moon be our betrothal gifts and the realm our wedding present. Will you be mine, equal to heaven?
