Ling Feng, a modern-day office drone, accidentally transmigrates into the world of Journey to the West and becomes an utterly insignificant blue-furred rat demon beneath Five Elements Mountain. But he also binds himself to the quirky “Sixth Man System”: no winning with brute force, only underhanded tricks. Ambushes, stealing other people's spoils, faking accidents, sabotaging teammates: as long as he's sneaky enough, he can unlock divine skills, exchange for items, and level up at lightning speed!
To escape his rat-demon form and avoid being hunted by Sun Wukong, Ling Feng follows the System's “guide to screwing people over.” He goes from a petty ambush artist to an unofficial member of the pilgrimage team. He acts like a sweet, well-behaved kid in front of Tang Sanzang, while secretly stealing Wukong's merit, scheming to get Bajie's food, and tricking Sha Seng out of his treasures. He even dares to wait until demons and monsters turn on each other, then swoops in at the last moment, sending demon kings from every direction into a tailspin.
When sneaky tricks collide with the strict laws of Heaven in Journey to the West, and a cunning protagonist runs into a hot-tempered Monkey King, a gullible Bajie, and an honest Sha Seng, a hilarious pilgrimage that turns the classic story upside down begins. Ling Feng declares, “Fetching the scriptures? Doesn't matter! Stirring up trouble, leveling up, and taking everything I can from the Three Realms, that's what really matters!” Watch as the sneakiest transmigrator rewrites the Journey to the West with outrageous schemes, coasting to Buddhahood through laughs and peril (?)!
